  • Extrudable photocrosslinkable hydrogel and method for its preparation
    Patent number: 11918703
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an extrudable photocrosslinkable hydrogel comprising a biochemically modified extracellular matrix (ECM) with an electroconductive nanomaterial embedded; a photoinitiator and a solvent, the method for its preparation starting from decellularized extracellular matrices (dECMs) and its applications for preparing electroconductive scaffolds, electroconductive extrudable hydrogels for in situ defect-filling, conductive grafts, in situ or in vitro printed tissues or organs, adhesives for different tissues, or bone adhesives.

  • Pipe retaining structure
    Patent number: 10669790
    Abstract: A device includes a base configured to be coupled to a storage segment of a pipe support assembly. The device also includes an arm configured to be coupled to the base. The arm is configured to provide lateral support to a pipe when the pipe is disposed in a storage area adjacent to a first portion of the storage segment. The arm is also configured to move in a horizontal direction from a first location in which an end of the arm is disposed at a first horizontal distance from the storage segment to a second location in which the end of the arm is disposed at second horizontal distance from the storage segment when a force greater than or equal to a predetermined level is applied to the arm.

  • Riser and subsea equipment guidance
    Patent number: 10294729
    Abstract: Techniques and systems to reduce deflection of a riser suspended from offshore platform. A guidance thrust delivery system (GTDS) includes a plurality of thrusters configured to be coupled to a riser of an offshore vessel. Each thruster of the plurality of thrusters is configured to generate a force on the riser of the offshore vessel to control a position of the riser in a subsea environment while the riser is suspended from the offshore vessel and decoupled from a seafloor.
