Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for coating pharmaceutical vessels, e.g. with a coating set that includes an oxygen barrier layer, that reduce the amount of particles present on the coated vessels. The present disclosure also relates to methods and systems for removing particles from vessels, e.g. after a coating is applied to an inner surface of the vessel. The present disclosure also relates to methods and systems for inspecting pharmaceutical vessels for particles prior to filling using machine based visual analysis. Each of the above may be controlled and performed by one or more processors, thereby enabling a fully automated coating, cleaning, and/or inspecting operation for pharmaceutical vessels.

Abstract: A system for determining a fault in a subsea blowout preventer (BOP) stack includes a first sensor and a second sensor adapted to measure one or more properties of a subsea operation. The system further includes a first power supply adapted to provide operational power to the first sensor and a second power supply adapted to provide operational power to the second sensor. The system also includes a first power failure indicator and isolator (PFII) associated with the first sensor and the first power supply, the first PFII measuring a first pair of waveforms to identify a first fault and a second PFII associated with the second sensor and the second power supply, the second PFII measuring a second pair of waveforms to identify a second fault.

Abstract: A subsea wiring apparatus includes a housing having a cavity extending from a first end to a second end. The apparatus also includes an electrical connector arranged within the cavity, the electrical connector receiving at least one conductor. The apparatus further includes a separator extending at least partially into the cavity, wherein the separator receives the at least one conductor and directs the at least one conductor into a passage. The apparatus also includes an isolating material within the cavity, the isolating material extending from the first end to the second end, wherein the isolating material surrounds at least a portion of the conductor to block fluid communication with the conductor.

Abstract: A control system and method for a blowout preventer (BOP) system in an oil rig is provided. An input module generates control inputs for required components of the blowout preventer system, and transmits the control inputs simultaneously as an operational input and a numerical input, where the operational input is transmitted to the required component of the blowout preventer system. A synchronized model is coupled to the input module to receive the numerical input, and to replicate an operation of the blowout preventer system based on the numerical input. The synchronized model also generates one or more model outputs based on the replication of the operation of the blowout preventer system.

Abstract: A control system for a subsea blowout preventer (BOP) positioned in a lower stack, the lower stack releasably engaged with a lower marine riser package (LMRP). The control system includes a surface logic solver positioned at or adjacent the surface of the sea that generates commands for operating the subsea BOP, a first subsea logic solver attached to the LMRP and in communication with the surface logic solver so that the first subsea logic solver receives the commands from the surface logic solver, and a second subsea logic solver attached to a hydraulic control unit in the lower stack. The second subsea logic solver is in hydraulic communication with the subsea BOP, and the first subsea logic solver so that the second subsea logic solver receives the commands from the first subsea logic solver and implements the commands by activating the hydraulic control unit to operate the BOP.

Abstract: Methods and systems for accurately measuring and monitoring accumulated volume of hydraulic fluid in a blowout preventer (BOP) system, specifically for a function of interest, are disclosed. One method includes initializing a state machine algorithm, the state machine algorithm responsive to a BOP function of interest being activated; measuring an initial hydraulic flow rate baseline and an initial pressure baseline to create a hydraulic impedance variable for use in the state machine algorithm; monitoring an aggregate hydraulic flow rate and pressure of the BOP system over time; applying the hydraulic impedance variable to negate BOP system hydraulic flows not related to the BOP function of interest; and applying the state machine algorithm to determine when the BOP function of interest has been completed responsive to a total accumulated volume of hydraulic fluid.
