  • Patent number: 10308485
    Abstract: An offshore platform lifting device for lifting operations at sea after sailed to a certain position of a sea surface includes an upper deck, a plurality of upright columns, a rail seat, a base disposed on the rail seat, two davit arms, two first winches, and two second winches. The upper deck has a lower pontoon. The upright columns are connected between to the upper deck and the lower pontoon. Each upright column is provided with a support leg that is longitudinally inserted through the upright column, thereby positioning the offshore platform lifting device on the seabed through the upright columns. The two davit arms are disposed the base and drives the base to move laterally through a pushing device. The two second winches each have a second cable passing through the two davit arms. A hook is disposed at a distal end of the second cable.

  • Publication number: 20190048548
    Abstract: A semi-submersible support platform and a positioning method thereof are disclosed. The semi-submersible support platform, used for operations at sea after sailed to a certain position of a sea surface, includes an upper deck and a lower pontoon. The upper deck and the lower pontoon are connected by a plurality of upright columns. Each upright column is provided with a support leg that is longitudinally inserted through the upright column. The lower pontoon has a plurality of chambers for receiving water therein. The support leg has a compartment for receiving water therein. Each upright column includes a leveling mechanism therein. When the support leg sinks to reach the seabed, the leveling mechanism in each upright column is combined with the support leg to support the support leg. The leveling mechanism can drive the upper deck to move up or down along the support leg.

  • Patent number: 9338293
    Abstract: A communication device provides a face detection module and a face recognition module. The face detection module detects faces in a photo input by a user. The face recognition module searches the detected faces in a storage system of the communication device. If the detected faces do not exist in the storage system, the communication device prompts the user to edit communication information of the detected faces. If the user wants to dial a phone number, the communication device searches the storage system for the phone number of a selected face in a photo and dials the phone number. If a phone number is calling in, the communication device displays a photo corresponding to the phone number, and highlights a face corresponding to the phone number.

  • Patent number: 9232186
    Abstract: A video terminal device includes a capture module, a detection module, a transmitting module, and a displaying module. The capture module takes images of the eyes of a user when the user is gazing at a display device to obtain three points of focus of the eyes, and confirms a circle bounding the three points of focus. The detection module detects whether an area of the applied circle is less than a first threshold. The transmitting module outputs coordinates of the center of the applied circle as an eyes direction when the area of the circle is less than the first threshold, enabling the participants in a conference to see the eyes direction of the presenter and the presenter to see the eyes directions of each of his audience.
