    摘要: A marine pipeline-installation tower comprising at least two opposing legs, and one or more tensioning assemblies supported by the opposing legs for surrounding and supporting an intermediate pipeline during installation, at least one of the intermediate tensioning assemblies comprising two or more discrete segments, the segments being moveable between: a closed position wherein the segments are conjoined to form an enclosing pipeline annulus able to support the pipeline between the legs of the tower; and an open position wherein at least two of the segments are disconnected and separate. In this way, a better clearance is achievable between the parts of the segments able to form the enclosing pipeline annulus when the segments are in their open position, because the segments are able to be disconnected and separate despite still being supported within the limited room between the fixed legs of the tower.

    摘要: A programmable serial interface is disclosed for use in a semiconductor circuit that supports a plurality of communication protocols. The programmable serial interface includes one or more shared hardware components that implement tasks and functions of a plurality of communication protocols, optional protocol specific hardware, a processor and memory. For each task or function required by a supported communication protocol, a determination is made as to which parts of the function will be implemented using shared hardware, protocol specific hardware or in software. The communication protocols to be supported are identified, and the functions performed in accordance with each of the supported protocols are analyzed to identify those functions suitable for common or shared hardware with other communication protocols. In addition, unique or time-critical functions are identified that must be implemented in hardware. Finally, any functions that are not implemented in hardware are implemented in software.

    摘要: A microcontroller software testing tool is disclosed for testing and debugging software for a semiconductor circuit. The microcontroller software testing tool includes a simulator for simulating the execution of the software program on the target semiconductor circuit and an emulator to permit emulation before the actual silicon exists. The emulator utilizes the same high definition language specification, such as VHDL models, that define the silicon during the fabrication process plus additional logic to model behavior of the emulated processor. In a simulation mode, the microcontroller software testing tool simulates the target semiconductor circuit on a general purpose computing device, by interpreting the instructions in the software using an instruction set of the target semiconductor circuit, and otherwise behaving like the target semiconductor circuit; and executes and evaluates the software on the simulated semiconductor circuit. The microcontroller software testing tool monitors the estimated time to execute the software on the semiconductor circuit. In an emulation mode, the microcontroller software testing tool utilizes a low-cost field programmable gate array programmed with a hardware description language description of the target semiconductor circuit. The microcontroller software testing tool is accessible by means of a data exchange protocol provided by the operating system. The microcontroller software testing tool preferably provides a modular configuration. The microcontroller software testing tool monitors the percentage of the code that is executed during testing.
