  • Publication number: 20230022527
    Abstract: A subsea sensor module includes a sensor housing having a first section, a second section and a third section, each section having an outer profile and a module flange having an inner profile. An outer surface of the flange is substantially perpendicular to an outer surface of the housing in the first section. The housing outer profile and flange inner profile are substantially the same along the second section of the housing. A shoulder is formed in the housing outer profile in the third section by a transition of the diameter of the outer profile from a smaller to a larger diameter. The flange has a corresponding shoulder in the flange inner profile; wherein the flange is shrink fit mounted radially outwardly of the sensor housing second section such that the shoulders are in contact.

  • Patent number: 11066889
    Abstract: A subsea assembly includes a housing having a flange interface for interfacing with a flange of a process fluid carrying component, wherein the housing is configured such that boltheads or nuts exerting a fastening force on the subsea assembly when mounted to the process fluid carrying component are spaced from the flange interface so that the dimensions of the housing of the subsea assembly at the flange interface are not affected by a space required for a bolthead or nut fastening tool.

  • Patent number: 10749329
    Abstract: A connection assembly includes an adapter to be mounted to a rear part of a subsea sensor, a sensor port being located in the adapter, through which at least a first and a second sensor connection are led to the subsea sensor; a first port for providing a connection to a first of the subsea cables; and a second port for providing a connection to a second of the subsea cables. A first penetrator is arranged in the first port to provide a liquid tight seal between an interior space of the adapter and a duct connected to the first port leading the first sensor connection through the first port, and a second penetrator is arranged in the second port providing a liquid tight seal between the interior space of the adapter and a duct connected to the second port and leading the second sensor connection through the second port.

  • Patent number: 10721083
    Abstract: Power is supplied to telecom equipment in DSLAM outdoor/remote cabinets with relatively short distances between the subscriber and the cabinet. All of the subscriber Customer Premises Equipment connected to the DSLAM each provide a portion of the required power to the remote cabinet via the telephone line connecting the DSLAM and the subscriber CPE. The CPE at the subscriber premises is already connected to power mains in the subscriber premises so, providing power, via the telephone line to the outdoor cabinet is relatively simple. The remote cabinet includes a circuit for receiving the power input from each subscriber and then distributing the power, required by the DSLAM load, equally among the subscribers.

  • Publication number: 20130216365
    Abstract: In a method of mounting cooling air fans (2) in an electronic equipment unit (3) having a unit front (4) a unit rear (5) and unit sides (6, 7) and wherein the cooling air fan/fans produce cooling air flow (AF) directed from the unit front to the unit rear, cooling air fans are attached to a flexible cooling air fan carrier (8) that is introduced through a slot (3A) in the unit front and is advanced along a non-linear path (9). The cooling air fan carrier is advanced along a first, generally straight path section (9A) from the unit front and approximately to the unit rear, further through a second, bent path section (9B) and through a third, generally straight path section (9C) extending along the unit rear, thereby positioning the cooling air fans along the unit rear.
