Patent number: 10773453Abstract: A pipe joint coating for welded ends of pipes forming a pipeline. A last and third layer of a 3LPP coating system covering at least a circumferential weld area of the pipe joint is a heated sheet applied around the pipe with a machine including a mounting frame and a transport carriage rotatably movable on the mounting frame to move circumferentially about the pipe joint, and a roller applying an adjusted pressure to the sheet against the pipe and adapting to eccentricity or ovality of the pipe. The sheet is pressed below the pipe away from its overlapping ends, a first part of the sheet is then applied when the roller is rolled in a first direction, and a second part of the sheet is applied by the roller rolled back in the reverse direction around the pipe. The sheet is dimensioned to obtain an overlapped area between its extremities.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: SERIMAX HOLDINGSInventors: Terence Cottrell, Louis-Nicolas Hallez, Gareth Owen, Andrew Stribley

Patent number: 10001977Abstract: A system and method identifies a set of operations or tasks, such as functions, of a programming system or technical computing environment based on a selection of input data. The technical computing environment may have a plurality of operations that may be called and executed. The operations may operate on one or more input arguments that may need to satisfy certain constraints. Upon selection of input data, a matching engine may classify the input data, and compare the classifications of the input data to the input argument constraints of a plurality of operations. The matching engine may identify those operations whose input argument constraints are satisfied by the selected input data, as well as those operations whose input argument constraints are not satisfied by the selected input data. The matching and non-matching operations may be provided to an action unit, which may be configured to perform some task or action with regard to some or all of the operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: James Gareth Owen, Claudia Gaudagnini Wey
