  • Patent number: 8126752
    Abstract: A method for providing maintenance to an electrical power generation, transmission and distribution system, and an information system and one or more computer program software means for carrying out same. A method to provide maintenance to an electrical power generation facility and/or an electrical power transmission and distribution network system operated by a Utility. Maintenance personnel visit a site to inspect a condition of said apparatus, and examine information from an Information System operated in co-ordination with a Help Desk.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7124773
    Abstract: A valve including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet coupled by a fluid channel, all of which are defined by walls and structures produced by micromachining of glass and/or silicon. An actuator can be set to at least two different positions in order to vary the flow cross section of the fluid channel. The geometries of the fluid inlet, outlet and channel are adapted for preventing the flow from changing its direction so sharply that a significant portion of contaminating droplets and or particles in the flow hit the walls of structures, as given in any arrangement according to or between the following two extremes: i) flow outlet is perpendicular to the flow inlet and the outlet dimension is larger than a critical dimension, Lcrit estimated according to a given formula and/or as simulated in a Computational Fluid Dynamics tool, and ii) flow outlet and flow channel is generally parallel to flow inlet giving a substantially unidirectional flow pattern.

  • Patent number: 6364677
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for terminating cables (1), particularly for underwater termination of high voltage power cable and for conducting high voltage conductors in an electrical underwater apparatus, with the purpose of providing a liquid and water tight termination, at the same time as it provides pressure relief for vital components.

  • Patent number: 5834721
    Abstract: A coupling and switch system for subsea electrical power distribution employs fluid-filled contact housings. The coupling and switch system includes two mutually spaced contact housings mounted along a common centerline. A space between the contact housing has therein a coupling housing or middle piece having contact elements. The middle piece when or after mounting between the contact housings is anchored in a fluid-tight manner thereto by axial movement of one or both contact housings. The contact elements of the middle piece can be moved into respective contact housings with the middle piece in the mounted position.
