  • Patent number: 12078768
    Abstract: A system (100) for attaching devices of subsea equipment to a line (10) comprising a line holding mechanism (11,110) and a line holding unit (404). The line holding unit (404) comprises a 5 longitudinal slit (403) for receiving the line (10), multiple gripping elements (13,130,230), and at least one resilient element (12,120,220), related to one subsea device. The resilient element(s) is/are configured to force the multiple gripping elements (13; 130,230) in a direction towards the line (10), whereby the line holding unit (404) is locked to the line (10) in a locking position. By the invention an improved latching device and an accompanying system for attaching and 10 detaching subsea equipment to and from a line is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20140330613
    Abstract: The add-on provides methods and systems for the management of the dependencies, executions along with notifications of the executions of Informatica PowerCenter workflows. This is an add-on to the Informatica PowerCenter tool that allows the workflow executions to be managed from within the tool by a managing workflow. The add-on is integrated and automatically recognizes and reacts to different events with no code changes needed for existing workflows it will manage. The tool is similar to external generic platform third party scheduling software but this tool is different because it is integrated directly on the Informatica repository database level. It utilizes PowerCenter's existing features and is designed solely for Informatica PowerCenter. Since it is integrated directly in the PowerCenter tool it is easier to use and setup, has better monitoring and workflow execution features then other generic scheduling software.
