18 Claims

1. A spatially positioned assembly, comprising:

a fluid inlet in fluid flow communication with a fluid connection adapter;

a swivel joint, the swivel joint having an internal diameter of not less than about 7 inches and further capable of rotation while retaining an internal pressure of not less than about 10,000 psi, wherein the swivel joint is interposed in said fluid flow communication between the fluid inlet and the fluid connection adapter; and

a turret, the turret connected with the fluid connection adaptor via at least one boom section; S[1 . . . N] where N≥1, in which each boom section has a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of boom section S[1] is rotatably connected to the turret and the distal end of boom section S[N] is rotatably connected with the fluid connection adapter;

wherein rotation of the turret defines rotation about an axis A[1];

wherein rotation of the proximal end of boom section S[1] about the turret defines rotation about an axis A[2];

wherein rotation of the fluid connection adapter about the distal end of boom section S[N] in at least one axis defines rotation about an axis A[N+2]; and

wherein operator control over rotation about axes A[1 . . . N+2] establishes corresponding desired spatial positions for the spatially positioned assembly.
