Patent number: 9823157Abstract: An apparatus for close visual inspection of subsea pipelines comprises a housing with a chamber that has an open side. The open side is adapted to be placed in sealing engagement against the pipeline. The chamber is flooded with clear water to improve the visual view. It is also described an apparatus for identification of a plume exiting from a leak The apparatus comprises a housing defining a chamber with a water permeable side that is adapted to face downward during use, and thereby being exposed to the exiting substance. A gas pressurizing device for creates a gas/water interface within the housing. An imaging device arranged above the water surface is adapted to image the water surface and detect id the water surface is being disturbed by the plume.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2013Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Universitetet i StavangerInventors: Jasper Ahamefula Agbakwuru, Ove Tobias Gudmestad

Patent number: 8855317Abstract: This invention relates to system for securing an information unit and applications thereof. The system comprising at least one encrypting means for applying a first encryption key to the information unit thus provided an encrypted information unit, wherein said at least one encryption means is adapted to apply at least two second information encryption keys to the encrypted information unit, said at least two second encryption keys being calculated so as to decrypt the encrypted information unit when all of said first and second encryption keys have been applied to the information unit, the encryption keys being distributed to chosen users of the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Universitetet i StavangerInventors: Chunming Rong, Gansen Zhao

Patent number: 8784328Abstract: The invention relates to a method of image analysis of a cardiac image of a human subject who has experienced a myocardial infarction. The method includes delineating an area of said image corresponding to scar tissue within myocardium, from the voxel data for said area, determining at least one value indicative of the likelihood of future cardiac arrhythmia, and optionally applying to said value a prediction matrix generated from the same value for other human subjects who have had a myocardial infarction and who have subsequently experienced cardiac arryhthmia.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Universitetet I StavangerInventors: Trygve Eftestol, Leik Woie

Publication number: 20130206078Abstract: The invention relates to a system for controlling feeding of farmed fish living within a restricted volume, such as a sea cage (10), comprising at least one sensor for direct or indirect measurement of changes in dissolved oxygen (DO) in a feeding area of the fish during feeding, and further comprising a controller (4) receiving input from said at least one sensor and providing output to an automated feed providing system for controlling the amount of food provided to the fish, wherein an increased oxygen consumption and a correspondingly decreased amount of DO in said feeding area serves as an indication of fish hunger and an input parameter of the controlling system. The invention also relates to a method for controlling feeding of farmed fish.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2011Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicants: HAVFORSKININGSINSTITUTTET, UNIVERSITETET I STAVANGERInventors: Rune Melberg, Thomas Torgersen
