  • Publication number: 20100195435
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a seismic cable (3) comprising at least two sensor nodes (4), the cable being adapted to lie permanently on a seabed (5). By covering each sensor node (4) and a length of the cable (3) connecting the sensor nodes (4) with a flexible protective socket (7), there is obtained a leak-tight connection, whereby penetration of water and/or moisture into the components of the sensor node (4) is not permitted.

  • Publication number: 20080142106
    Abstract: A bend stiffener comprising a modular arrangement of alternating disks of rigid material and flexible material, each disk having a center hole arranged in axial alignment with the center holes of adjacent disks. The axially-aligned disks are arranged intermediate an end plate and a front plate, and are sandwiched together by one or more tensioned wires or other such elongated elements passing from the end plate to the front plate. Either or both the end plate or the front plate contain termination means for connection to a structure, such as for example bolts, threads latches or other locking mechanism.
