  • Publication number: 20250035081
    Abstract: A wave-actuated system for desalination of water by reverse osmosis (RO) has at least one offshore wave energy converter subsystem for pumping salt water and supplying the pumped salt water via a water outlet, a pretreatment subsystem hydraulically connected to the water outlet of the at least one offshore wave energy converter subsystem, and a RO desalination subsystem receiving filtered water from the pretreatment subsystem. The at least one wave-energy converter has a float and a hydraulic cylinder pumping salt water to the RO desalination subsystem. A method for operating a reverse-osmosis desalination subsystem using pressurized salt water supplied by at least one wave energy converter subsystem is described. A method for making a hull is also described.

  • Patent number: 4685100
    Abstract: An adapter terminal unit is designed to connect to the time-division switching center of which it forms part at least one digital trunk to a standard different to that normally applicable to the digital trunks associated with the switching center. Each adapter terminal unit, equipped with a microprocessor-based control circuit, is connected by a switching matrix to the input/output lines of the switching center's switching matrix. It further comprises a data and signaling transfer device connected to the switching matrix and to a transmitter device and to a receiver device, one at the end of a transmit multiplex link and the other at the end of a receive multiplex link of the digital trunk. In this way the standard changes necessary for exchanges between the digital trunk and the switching center are effected.
