  • Patent number: 9284806
    Abstract: A system for pulling a subsea structure includes an adapter configured to be mounted to an upper end of a subsea pile. In addition, the system includes an interface assembly fixably coupled to the adapter. The interface assembly includes a first channel configured to receive a flexible tension member and a first chuck disposed in the first channel. The tension assembly includes a second channel configured to receive the flexible tension member and a second chuck disposed in the second channel. Each chuck is configured to pivot about a horizontal axis between an unlocked position allowing the flexible tension member to move in a first axial direction and a locked position preventing the tension member from moving in a second axial direction that is opposite the first axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20120324876
    Abstract: Embodiments of a subsea accumulator system are disclosed. The system includes a subsea skid structure, a pre-charged fluid accumulator mounted in the subsea skid structure and fluidly coupled to a flowline in the skid structure, and a subsea device coupled to the flowline to receive hydraulic fluid power from the pre-charged fluid accumulator. The system may include a fill port having a releasable connection to selectively couple with a hydraulic fluid supply separate from the skid structure. Certain embodiments may include a subsea pump, instead of a pre-charge, for delivering pressurized fluid to a piston in the accumulator, and multiple accumulators for mixing fluids or discharging the fluids sequentially.

  • Publication number: 20090291780
    Abstract: An athletic training apparatus to train a player with or without a coach is disclosed. The machine includes a collapsible frame, a striking structure, a coaching cage, and one moveable member. The collapsible frame provides a height adjustment mechanism to allow partial collapsibility of the frame during storage or movement. The striking structure couples detachably to the collapsible frame. A player or coach selects the striking structure in accordance with desired goals of an athletic training session. The coaching cage is incorporated within the collapsible frame. The coaching cage assists the coach to in real-time provide an unobstructed view of a player's body position and player motion; thereby, coach's real-time observations and feedback train a player's movements to achieve a hit to a defined target or objective. A movable member transports the collapsible frame between a first location and a second location with minimal disassembly.
