  • Patent number: 9352838
    Abstract: An aircraft galley is disclosed having a stand-alone beverage station and a stand-alone food preparation station. Each station is equipped with extendable work decks and integrated equipment for plug and play exchange. The beverage station is equipped with brewing stations and a top loading refuse compartment, and the food preparation station is configured with multiple ovens and refrigeration units. The galley further includes a side refrigeration unit which can be used as a self-service beverage area for passengers, and both stations may further be configured with LED displays for communicating with passengers.

  • Patent number: 9328586
    Abstract: The invention concerns a subsea system transporting fluid, wherein the subsea system comprises a first part having a flow path carrying a flow of fluid and at least a second part having a flow path provided for carrying fluid. The second part is temporarily being closed off from the flow path of the first part of the subsea system. The heat from the fluid transported in the first part of the subsea system is transferred to the second part by a heat conducting structure establishing a contact between the first and second part of the subsea system, to prevent the formation of hydrates in the second part of the subsea system.

  • Publication number: 20150081259
    Abstract: Method of providing a geologic model (1?) representing a geologic feature based on geologic measurement data, such as seismic or electromagnetic data. The method comprises the following steps determining an initial model estimate. Further the method comprises, by means of a metric function, comparing features of a plurality of candidate traces (19) with known features of a model control point (3). For the candidate traces (19) where the metric function returns a similarity value above a similarity metric threshold, a model guide point (9) is arranged on the candidate trace (19) in question. The geologic model (1, 1?) is adjusted towards or onto such model guide points (9).

  • Patent number: 7096568
    Abstract: A new process and structure for microcomponent interconnection utilizing a post-assembly activated junction compound. In one embodiment, first and second microcomponents having respective first and second contact areas are provided. A junction compound is formed on one of the first and second contact areas, and the first and second contact areas are positioned adjacent each other on opposing sides of the junction compound. The junction compound is then activated to couple the first and second microcomponents.
