摘要:
A shallow water mooring system applies to offshore industry for oil and gas exploration, and production. This mooring system employs non-steel synthetic lines to provide the desired flexibility for shallow water mooring system applications. Piled submerged towers at seabed serve as elevated anchors to keep the whole synthetic mooring lines off the seabed under environmental loading conditions. Other buoyant means such as a buoy is also utilized to further help the synthetic mooring lines off the seabed during their service life.
摘要:
A magnetic device assembly is provided for maximizing the size of the magnetic components for a predetermined power converter module by co-locating and sharing input, output, and auxiliary terminals between the substrates for the power converter and the magnetic components. Wherein complete power module is the result of constructing the separate constituent parts which include an integrated magnetic substrate, magnetic elements mounted therein, a power converter substrate, associated incorporated components located top and bottom on the power converter substrate, a composite mechanical footprint as defined by the mechanical extents of the integrated magnetic substrate and power converter substrate, and a composite electrical pinout as defined by the input-output pins which are coincident to and co-located as those of the integrated magnetic and power converter substrates.
摘要:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for distracting tissue and particularly spinal tissue. The device and method may include insertion of at least one elongated member and an augmenting member to form a structure between the tissues to be distraction, such that a dimensional aspect of the structure is augmented upon movement of the augmenting structure.
摘要:
A clamp (106) for a pipe assembly (101) having an adjustable effective length is disclosed. The clamp (106) comprises: a clamp body (107) configured to be clamped to the pipe assembly (101) and includes an engagement device (233; 234) having a channel (301); and a handle (108) pivotably connected to the clamp body (107) and includes an engagement member (227; 229). The handle 108 is pivotable between a first position in which the engagement member (227; 229) engages with the channel (301) of the engagement device (233; 234) to maintain the position of the handle relative to the clamp body whilst allowing free adjustment of the effective length of the pipe assembly, and a second position in which the engagement member is disengaged from the channel to tighten the clamp body. An engagement device (233; 234) for use in the clamp (106), and a pipe assembly (101) having an adjustable effective length and including the clamp (106) are also disclosed.
