  • Publication number: 20240075636
    Abstract: A tool interchange for a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV) arm includes a first interchange body that affixes to an ROV arm. A second interchange body is carried by the first interchange body to rotate on a rotation axis. The second interchange body includes a tool mount actuable between gripping an ROV tool to the second interchange body and releasing the ROV tool from the second interchange body. An inductive power coupling part is provided in the tool mount. The inductive power coupling part is presented outwardly in the tool mount opposite the first interchange body, resides on the rotation axis and is fixed with respect to the first interchange body while the second interchange body rotates. The inductive power coupling part is adapted to inductively communicate power with a corresponding inductor power coupling part of the ROV tool when the ROV tool is docked in the tool mount.

  • Publication number: 20070076519
    Abstract: An apparatus for stabilizing a container during mixing includes a base platform, an engagement arm and a brace member. The engagement arm is pivotally attached to the base platform via a hinge. Additionally, the engagement arm includes two components hingably affixed together. The brace member is located opposite the engagement arm and includes a receiving portion directed toward the engagement arm for receiving the container to be stabilized. During mixing, an operator applies a force downward on the engagement arm, generally with a foot, thereby retaining the container between the engagement arm and the brace member. The contents of the container may then be stirred without the operator having to straddle the container.
