  • Patent number: 9166386
    Abstract: There is provided subsea repair apparatus for performing repair of a subsea cable located beneath the sea, said apparatus comprising: an environment capsule capable of providing a substantially water-free environment within the capsule; and repair equipment located within the environment capsule arranged to repair said subsea cable without the need for a person to be located within the environment capsule.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2015
    Assignee: STATOIL PETROLEUM AS
    Inventors: Carl Henrik Ahlen, Atle Børnes, Even Tjåland, Kai Arne Kristiansen

  • Patent number: 7530318
    Abstract: This application concerns a method and system using a hydrodynamical effect for producing a potential over a body. The force obtained this way is useful for the propulsion and maneuvering of ships, submarines, aeroplanes, and airships. A body immersed in a fluid at rest is subject to equal pressures on all sides. A stream close to one side of the body will reduce the local pressure and produce a potential over the body. This is currently done by moving the body in the fluid, cf. aeroplane wings. The potential may be produced by setting up a stream or streams over one side of the body. Bodies attached to aeroplanes by hinges are useful for their lift, propulsion and maneuvering, and will make them independent of velocity for lift and maneuvering. The same will be the case for submarines. Airships and seagoing vessels may be designed so as to have their propulsive bodies integrated in their form.
