  • Patent number: 11884368
    Abstract: A method of launching an elongate subsea structure such as a pipeline bundle unit into water provides buoyant support to the structure by displacing water with a hollow buoyancy unit that applies buoyant upthrust to the structure. By lowering the buoyancy unit in the water to bring a permanently open aperture of the buoyancy unit beneath a surface level of the water, the buoyancy unit is flooded with water through the or each permanently open aperture to reduce the buoyant upthrust applied to the structure. A corresponding elongate subsea structure is also claimed.

  • Patent number: 11739863
    Abstract: A bundle section of a subsea pipeline bundle has a rigid carrier pipe having an end closed by a transverse bulkhead and one or more fluid conduits in fluid communication with an opening that penetrates the bulkhead. Fluid coupling formations such as a spigot or a recess on an outer face of the bulkhead surround the opening. Leak-tight coupling between successive fluid conduits is effected when the bulkheads of two such bundle sections are brought together. This forces together opposed complementary fluid coupling formations of the bulkheads. The bulkheads connect the adjoining bundle sections fluidly and mechanically.

  • Publication number: 20220188514
    Abstract: A system for analyzing and prescribing content changes to achieve target readability level evaluates a readability score for a file at least at a whole document level and a sentence level based on a designated readability index; identifies one or more sentences that contribute to the file having the whole document level readability score outside a desired readability score of the readability index; provides a visual indicator for each of the identified one or more sentences; and re-evaluating the readability score for the file at the whole document level upon at least one of the identified one or more sentences being changed.

  • Patent number: 11165803
    Abstract: The technology disclosed includes a system to reduce clutter during graph presentation for security incident analysis. The system includes logic to score nodes potentially collapsed by equivalence, of indicated interest for security incident analysis, to prevent aggregation. The system includes logic to aggregate and hide equivalent nodes that have matching degrees, that are connected to matching nodes by matching edge types, and that have scores below a first selected threshold. The system does not collapse nodes that are interesting for security analysis and keeps them visible. The technology disclosed identifies chains of at least three nodes having degrees of 1 or 2, without branching from any node in the chain. The identified chains are collapsed into chain-collapsed single nodes. Two different cases of chains including whisker chains ending in a leaf node and chains connected at both ends to two other nodes are presented.
