Abstract:
A method (150) of interacting with a process control system is provided. The method (150) includes bringing a mobile electronic device into physical proximity of a field device (152). The mobile electronic device is coupled to a digital process communication channel of the field device (154). A client software application is initiated on the mobile electronic device (156). The digital process communication channel is used to communicatively couple the client software application to a host application remote from both the mobile electronic device and the field device (158).
Abstract:
A system for reducing drag and/or vortex induced vibration of a structure, the system comprising a multiple sided device comprising from 4 to 6 sides; and at least one blade located extending from the multiple sided device.
Abstract:
A tool for cleaning subsea structures, the tool comprising a frame comprising a stationary frame portion; and a rotating frame portion rotationally connected to the stationary frame portion; and at least one cleaning device attached to the rotating frame portion.
Abstract:
A system for preventing damage caused by the application of excessive force to a force-based input device having an input panel supported by a plurality of deflecting beam segments, in which the excessive force could cause permanent plastic deformation in the beam segments. The system includes a stress-limiting device operable about the deflecting beam segments to control the motion of the beam segments to within a pre-determined range.
Abstract:
A system comprising a subsea structure defining an interior of the system, the structure subject to a water current; at least one line exterior to the structure; a collar exterior to the structure adapted to maintain the at least one line adjacent to the structure; and a vortex induced vibration suppression device exterior to the at least one line and the collar.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a system comprising a structural element; a transport tool carrying a plurality of VIV and/or drag reduction devices; and an installation tool adapted to remove a VIV and/or drag reduction device from the transport tool and to install the device around the structural element.
Abstract:
An in-ear monitoring (IEM) system and method to facilitate the monitoring and control of a wearer’s acoustical environment. A wearer is provided with a digital wireless communication and digital signal processing (DSP) based IEM system. The IEM system used by the wearer is used to develop a virtual audio environment for listeners of pre-recorded or live acoustical environment. Furthermore, the system and method is used by third persons to experience a first person acoustical environment either in real-time or by playback.
Abstract:
A reclosable bag zipper having a female profile assembly that terminates in a first ended end. A male profile assembly opposes the female profile assembly to selectively close the opening. The male profile assembly terminates in a second curled end. Ariser is formal by non-uniform portions of the curled ends at one end of the bag. The slider has a dividing member and depending opposing first and second sides that define a central channel for receiving the curled ends. The curled ends create a distal bias against the slider, wherein: die first and second sides engage the profiles when moved in a closing direction; the dividing member separates the profiles when moved in an opening direction opposite to the closing direction; and when the slider is moved in the closing direction onto the riser, the dividing member moves distally away from the profiles so that the zipper may be fully closed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for displaying content in a conveyor system are provided. A content displaying conveyor plate includes a base plate and an upper plate that is configured to be releasably coupled to the base plate. The upper plate can be configured to display content, for example content that is integral to the base plate, content that is disposed between the upper plate and the base plate, or any combination thereof. The upper plate can be coupled to the base plate via one or more connection members defined on the upper plate and/or the base plate. Any, number, such as all of the base plates of an existing conveyor system can be replaced with respective content displaying conveyor plates. The base plate of the content displaying conveyor plate can define one or more recesses, the recesses configured to receive an attachment member and/or other components of a carousel therein.
