  • Patent number: 11661151
    Abstract: Mooring tensioning arrangement (10) on a vessel (60), comprising a moonpool (20) having a through miming vertical channel with an upper moonpool opening (22) in proximity to a deck (62) of the vessel (60), and a bottom moonpool opening (24) open to surrounding sea (30). A winch (14) is located above the moonpool (20), wherein a first anchor wire pennant (42) runs from the winch (14), over a stern (64) of the vessel (60) and into sea (30), and a second anchor wire pennant (46) runs from the winch (14), through the moonpool (20) and into the sea (30). A wire/chain stopper (18) securing the second anchor wire pennant (46) is placed in the moonpool (20), and the bottom moonpool opening (24) is curved to match bending 0radius and to provide a transition in direction of the second anchor wire pennant (46).

  • Patent number: 9008764
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting contact between an injection needle of a medication delivery device and a body of a patient. The method comprises the step of generating a contact signal in response to closure of an electrical signal path comprising an exterior surface part of the injection needle, an exterior surface part of a handle of the medication delivery device and at least part of the body of the patient. The present invention further relates to a method for determining the position of insertion of the injection needle, and to the insertion depth of the injection needle.

  • Patent number: 6605067
    Abstract: An injection needle unit for use on a syringe by patient administrated injections, comprising a hub fitting on the syringe which hub carries a needle having a cross section diameter less than 0,320, the needle being made from a super elastic material defined as a material which can obtain recovered elongation of more than 2% without having permanent deformation in the material. The injection needle can be forced away from its original linear shape and the force by which it seeks to return to this linear shape is used for automatic insertion of the needle.
