  • Patent number: 12122922
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a Pickering emulsion, the method comprising: exfoliating a non-silicate layered 3D material in a solvent to produce particles of a non-silicate unfunctionalised 2D material; forming a dispersion of the particles of the 2D material in a first liquid phase; adding a second liquid phase; and homogenising the dispersion of the 2D material in the first liquid phase with the second liquid phase to form a Pickering emulsion comprising the first liquid phase, the second liquid phase, and the particles of the 2D material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10883894
    Abstract: A technique facilitates monitoring and managing fatigue related a flexible conduit deployed from a surface vessel. Movements of the surface vessel may be measured to obtain vessel movement/position data. Based on this data, a flexible conduit bend profile may be determined via a computer-based data processing system. The flexible conduit bend profile may then be used to provide a flexible conduit fatigue profile for assessment of the flexible conduit in light of the environmental conditions. In some embodiments, the fatigue profile and assessment of the flexible conduit may be based on both functional loading and environmental loading.

  • Patent number: 5608662
    Abstract: A data processor is connected to a digital communication system such that information packets broadcast on the system are examined to determine if the contents of each packet meet selection criteria, whereupon the packet is coupled to the processor. A state machine or interface processor is connected between the processor and the network, and compares packets to the selection criteria, passing accepted packets and blocking rejected ones. The selection criteria are programmed into the state machine as a decision tree of any length, configuration or data requirements, preferably by the attached data processor, and can include examination of arbitrary sections of the packet for equality/inequality, greater-than/less than, signed and unsigned comparisons and bit mask comparisons. Thus content is variably examined, as opposed to checking for an address or key code at a given byte position. The state machine operates on recognition instructions including byte offset and content specifics.
