Abstract: A system and method to measure the amount of a gas dissolved in a fluid is described. The fluid is transferred to an equilibrator and pH is adjusted so that the equilibrium between the gas and its ions in the fluid is displaced towards more gas, so that the measurement may be carried out when there is proportionally more gas in the fluid.

Abstract: A tank for farming of marine organisms is described, where the tank includes a main chamber to hold the marine organisms and where the tank has further chambers to treat the water before it is circulated back to the main chamber.

Abstract: A method and system for measuring an amount of a gas dissolved in a liquid is described, in which the liquid is transferred to an equilibrator and in which the amount of the various gases is measured in the gas phase of the equilibrator and that a calculation of the amount of gas which is dissolved in the liquid is carried out.

Abstract: A lifting hook (14) provided with a remotely operated safety latch (12), wherein remote operation is used to both open and close the latch. The latch can be magnetically held (36) in the open position to connect and disconnect the load from the hook. Furthermore, an indicator (42) can be provided to indicate when the latch is latched and unlatched. The latch can be operated with lines with a first line (62) controlling one direction of movement of the latch and a second line (64) controlling a second direction of movement of the latch.

Abstract: A net cage for farming of marine organisms is described, where the net cage is comprised of a main chamber to hold the marine organisms and where the net cage has further water chambers to treat the water before it is circulated back to the main chamber.

Abstract: A device is described for a foundation to be placed in a sea bed, comprising a housing-formed, downwardly open, coat-forming construction set up for placing in the sea bed, said construction comprises a top part, and the top part comprises an extended hollow body (140) that stretches a distance into the inside of the construction. The invention is characterised in that the length of the inner pipe is shorter or longer than the length of the coat. When the inner pipe is shorter, its length is of the order of 10-90% of the length of the skirt 10, preferably 25 to 60%, and most preferred 50%. When the inner pipe is longer, its length is more than 100% and up to 300% of the length of the outer coat (10), preferably 150 to 200% and most preferred 300%. A method and different applications are also described.

Abstract: A method is described for collection of multi-component seismic data based on the use of noise from the installation of a pole together with installing receivers comprised of seismic multi-component geophones and hydrophones. The pole is hammered down to a desired sediment depth and repeatable signals with defined energies are sent out. The receiver cable is comprised of 3-component geophones and hydrophones arranged in a straight line profile, readily in star formation, and is pulled successively, after registration is carried out, in toward the source. One commences with a desired offset and gradually obtains increasing spatial resolution as the recording process progresses. Of special interest will be to arrange the listening cables in the directions where it will be most relevant to drill.
