    摘要: A quick connect system for a boat connects the deck of the boat to the hull of the boat. The deck sits on top of the hull. The hull is preferably inflatable, and preferably in two opposing, symmetrical hull sections being a left hull and a right hull. Each hull preferably has two parallel inflatable tubes that extend from the rear of the hull to the front. The deck is preferably a multi-piece system having a spaced apart front deck rear deck. An elevated casting platform extends between the deck sections and is supported by legs. The hull and deck have a series of aligned rigid tube receivers and loops that receive a series of rails. The rails are slideable into the loops and rigid tube receivers to secure the deck to the keel, and to provide a quick mechanism to disassemble the deck from the tubes.

    摘要: A method for maintaining a physical asset based on recommendations generated by analyzing operational data and a composite model of a plurality of models representing the physical asset includes constructing, by a computing device, using a port-reduced static condensation reduced basis element approximation of at least a portion of a partial differential equation, the composite model. The computing device analyzes an error indicator associated with at least one model within the composite model to determine that the error indicator exceeds a tolerance level and increases a number of basis functions in the port-reduced static condensation reduced basis element approximation accordingly. The computing device receives first operational data associated with at least one region of the physical asset and updates the composite model. The computing device provides a recommendation for maintaining the physical asset, based upon the updated composite model.

    摘要: An offshore floating structure such as a wind turbine includes a number of improvements. The floating structure can include a chain engaging system configured to prevent any lengthwise movement of a mooring chain. The floating structure can also include a mooring fixture pivotally coupled to the hull to prevent shock loads from being transmitted directly from the mooring line to the hull. The floating structure can also include installation aid structures that provide additional water plane area and/or buoyancy to the structure. The floating structure can also have a hull that is optimized for use as an offshore wind turbine.

    摘要: A pipelay vessel having two pipe string manufacturing lines and a firing line, wherein the pipe string manufacturing lines are designed for simultaneously handling two different pipe outer diameters for use as an inner pipe and an outer pipe respectively. Further, the vessel has a pipe-in-pipe assembly workstation for assembling the inner pipe and the outer pipe in a pipe-in-pipe configuration. The vessel is designed with a lay-out which allows for producing offshore pipe-in-pipe strings from single joints, wherein available space is optimally used and pipe-in-pipe strings can be produced safely offshore.

    摘要: A cockpit extension that extends aft of a boat transom for increasing the afterdeck area of the boat. The cockpit extension includes a deck that can be accessed from the afterdeck of the boat and an under-face beneath the deck that can be above or below the water-line of the boat. The cockpit extension can also include one or more of a gunwale, inner bulkhead, and outer freeboard. A running surface can also be provided on the under-face that improves the backing down process of the boat. The boat has at least two outboard engines, attached on the port and starboard sides of the boat transom, respectively.

    摘要: A cockpit extension extends aft between port and starboard outboard engines mounted on a tri-pontoon boat transom for increasing the usable afterdeck area of the boat. The cockpit extension includes a topside deck that can be accessed from the afterdeck of the boat and an under-face beneath the topside deck that can be above or below the water-line of the boat. A lower surface of the under-face can be configured to improve the backing down characteristics of the boat.
