Abstract: The present invention refers to a machine for cutting the external coating for drawing the Coated Pipe Preservation System for Onshore and Subsea Pipelines, called PPS System or PPS for short (FIGS. 1, 1.1 to 1.4). This Machine, called the Cutting and Drawing Manual Orbital Machine of the PPS (FIGS. 7 to 9), performs the cut at the angle (?) (2.4), executes the FBE Exposure Band (FBE Tail) (2.3), simultaneously, and draws the PPS System, in order to ensure that the Collar (Cutback) (2.2) meets the specifications regarding the finishing of the Chamfer (2.4) at the interface with the external coating of the pipe, its Length (C) (2.6) and the Width (T) of the FBE Exposure Band (FBE Tail) (2.7). The equipment performs cutting with the pipe being static (immovable), and is applicable to pipes externally coated in three layers (3 Layer Coating), used in Onshore Pipelines (Buried Pipelines) or Subsea Pipelines (Subsea or Submerged Pipelines).

Abstract: The present invention relates to alternative equipment for solar energy prospecting with a focus on low cost, low complexity in installation, operation and maintenance, and high reliability. A low-cost solarimetric station consists of compact equipment capable of providing global irradiance measurements and estimates for direct and diffuse components, as well as hemispheric photographs, with acceptable levels of uncertainty. The pyranometer periodically provides global irradiance information to the system, and the camera records photos of the sky. Using machine learning algorithms, and based on that information, the equipment provides estimates for direct and diffuse irradiance components. The equipment has other meteorological sensors, GPS, and wireless communication facilities. The equipment has an energy supply and management system consisting of a photovoltaic module, charge controller, and battery, which provide the energy necessary for the station to operate.

Abstract: This application relates to systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for dynamic and real-time updated receipts in an autonomous store

Abstract: This invention encompasses a system and a method used in the petrochemical and mechanical engineering area, more specifically in the area of protecting pipes or similarly shaped objects against external or internal damage or wear, which comprises a protective system for the ends and the inside of coated pipes, using the coating itself and other additional devices. The system is comprised of a cup (1), spacer (2), coating (3), external ring (4), and cap (5) used in the production line of the pipe-coating process, using the external coating itself, preventing corrosion and mechanical damage at the ends/bevel, in the sandblasted area of the collar and internal surface, from storage and transport to the location where it will be used, and welding in the field or on the vessel.

Abstract: A semi-quantitative analysis on the risk management process increases the possibility of performing an accurate risks comparison, making easier the identification of which risks shall be prioritized and shall receive the greatest mitigation efforts. Specifically, the semi-quantitative risk analysis enables an improved risks comparison for evaluating the consequences of each risk considering its impacts on the project's Net Present Value (NPV), reflecting the project's cash flow at different times. The use of such method makes the prioritization process more efficient, helping the managers and other personnel involved on the process to focus their efforts to the most critical risks for the project's success. In this sense, the risk management process becomes more efficient and better able to provide better support to the project decision makers.
