摘要： A fuse assembly for rope systems. A catch is a rope segment having a certain failure strength. An accompanying trigger component has a predetermined failure point which can be less than the failure strength of the catch, acting as a sacrificial element to reveal the potential risk of rope recoil. In one embodiment, the catch includes connecting ends, and the trigger is remote from the catch. In other embodiments the trigger includes the connecting ends and the catch is separate from but works cooperatively with the trigger. Additional hold components can accompany the system, as well as first and second chafe protection layers.

摘要： A marine vessel maneuvering system includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a water entry determination control to determine whether or not water behind a hull that rises above a water surface due to deceleration of the hull may enter the hull when the hull is decelerating.

摘要： A lightning diverter system is disclosed including an outer rod having a first outer rod segment, a second outer rod segment, and a housing cabinet; and an inner rod having a first inner rod segment and a second inner rod segment. The second inner rod segment is in attachment with the second outer rod segment. The inner rod and the outer rod are concentric and configured to move between a rod extended configuration and a rod retracted configuration. A conductive break is in attachment with the outer rod and the inner rod. The lightning diverter system further includes a sensor configured for monitoring an environmental parameter and sending a first signal to a processor configured for determining if the environmental parameter fails satisfy an environmental parameter threshold and sending a second signal to move the lightning diverter system between the rod retracted configuration and rod extended configuration.

摘要： A system for preventing damage to a power cable for electric power transmission to and from and within a floating offshore wind power plant using non-redundant mooring, after failure of a main loadbearing mooring element is described, comprising at least one power cable safety line having the following properties: It is connected to the same two wind turbines as the power cable it is designed to protect. It has an effective length shorter than the power cable it is designed to protect. It has an effective length longer than what is needed to remain largely unstressed when the distance between the floating wind turbines with intact mooring systems is at its maximum. It has a breaking strength being a predetermined fraction of the strength, which the main loadbearing mooring elements are designed for.

摘要： A bathing flotation assist device for use by an individual in a bathing enclosure. A buoyant flotation base is conformable to the back of the individual laying thereon such that it will maintain the body of the individual in position along the centre axis of the flotation base. A conformable buoyant head protector and nonconformable buoyant left and right side protection panels are attached, and a removeable fabric cover provides an enhanced gripping surface to the flotation base. By hingedly attaching the side edges of adjacent base elements to each other, the flotation base itself will have the ability to axially flex and bend in the direction of the centre axis of the flotation base in response to the weight of the user, and thus hold or retain the body in safe position in relation to the enclosure axis.

摘要： The vehicular carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds alarm is configured for use with a vehicle. The vehicle is further defined with a passenger space. The vehicular carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds alarm is maintained in the passenger space of the vehicle. The vehicular carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds alarm is a sensor. The vehicular carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds alarm monitors the concentration of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds in the air in the passenger space of the vehicle. The vehicular carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds alarm generates a visible and audible alarm when the concentration of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds in the passenger space of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined level. The vehicular carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds alarm comprises an operating circuit and a housing. The housing contains the operating circuit.

摘要： A bearing system for a rotating turret mounted on a vessel includes upper radial and axial bearings placed on a stiff bearing support ring. The bearing support ring is isolated from deflections in the vessel's caisson. Through the isolation, the radial and axial bearings are less affected by deflection of the vessel for example due to waves. The bearing support ring is supported vertically by a system of hydraulic cylinders serviced by multiple hydraulic systems for redundancy. The bearing support ring alternatively can be supported by an articulated steel structure.

摘要： A threaded connection body is welded to the wall of a pipe, seachest or other flooded cavity within the hull of a ship or floating offshore installation. A sealed cutting apparatus is mounted via a valve unit n the connection body and a cutter extended through the open valve to form an opening in the wall. After retracting the cutter and closing the valve, the cutting apparatus is replaced by an inspection unit having a camera which is extended through the valve and the opening to inspect the cavity. After retracting the camera and closing the valve, the inspection unit is replaced by a plug deployment unit which advances a plug through the valve and screws it into the connection body. The valve unit can then be removed and replaced with a cap so that the plug and the cap provide a double seal to the connection body.

摘要： A Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) surveillance system (7) is equipped with an adjustable alarm threshold that suppresses nuisance alarms if liquid level variations in FPSO crude oil and/or other liquid storage tanks (6) monitored by the system do not exceed estimated oscillating liquid level variations due to oscillating motions of the FPSO unit (1) during severe weather conditions.
