The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for making up tubular strings in a well. The present invention provides a single joint manipulator arm for manipulating and positioning tubing joints for coupling into a tubular string. In one embodiment, a string elevator is supported by a hoist. A single joint elevator is supported on a swing arm that is pivotally secured to the sub-hoist assembly. An actuator rotates the swing arm to an initial position for securing to an add-on tubular joint whereby the single joint elevator engages a proximate end of the add-on tubular joint. As the hoist is lifted, a damper dampens rotation of the swing arm as it finds gravitational equilibrium with the single joint held in a substantially vertical orientation. A distal end of the tubular joint is aligned with a casing string supported by a spider, and the tubular joint is threadably coupled to the tubular string. The actuator may include provisions to power the arm from the vertical orientation to a substantially horizontal orientation and also to dampen the movement of the arm as it moves from the substantially horizontal or an intermediate position to the vertical orientation once the single joint elevator engages the add-on tubular joint and the hoist suspends the joint for rotation.

A locking device for quarter turn valves avoids the inadvertent, unauthorized or careless manipulation of quarter turn valves from a desired position thereby minimizing, if not eliminating, the likelihood for damage or injury in an industrial or other setting as a result of the unauthorized opening/closing of the valve. The locking device includes a shroud which is adapted to be placed over the upper end of the stem and adjacent portion of the handle on the valve. The shroud has a capping portion which securely engages a mounting pad of the valve and an upwardly extending channel designed to at least partially surround a portion of the handle. A hole is provided in the channel and aligns with a hole in an adjacent portion of the handle when the shroud is placed on the valve. As such, the post of a lock is easily inserted through the aligned holes. The locking device according to this invention advantageously prevents the unauthorized manipulation of the handle and the resulting rotation of the valve member to/from the open/closed positions.

A semiconductor wafer regenerating system is capable of easily and efficiently removing fabricating patterns formed on a semiconductor wafer to enable reuse of the semiconductor wafer. The system, which removes patterns of the semiconductor wafer in a dry manner by using blasting grit, includes a mesh conveyor, a grit blaster, a swinging element, a collecting element, a separating element, and a dust collector. The mesh conveyor transports the semiconductor wafer so that the patterns face upward. The grit blaster is installed above the mesh conveyor and has at least one blasting nozzle for blasting grits toward the semiconductor wafer to remove the patterns from the semiconductor wafer. The swinging element swings the blasting nozzle in a plane perpendicular to a transporting path of the semiconductor wafer along the mesh conveyor. The collecting element underneath the mesh conveyor collects pulverulent bodies including grits, chips, and dusts falling from the mesh conveyor. The separating element is connected to the collecting element to separate the grits and chips from the dusts. The dust collector is connected to the separating element to collect the dusts separated by the separating element.
