  • Patent number: 10312969
    Abstract: A system for controlling a subsea device comprises a complimentary set of data communication interfaces operatively coupled to an electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller via a power conductor which defined data pathway between the subsea device and the remotely disposed device controller. A data transceiver is operatively coupled to the electronically interrogatable component and the remotely disposed device controller via the complimentary set of data communication interfaces over the power conductor. In configurations, control and/or telemetry or other data may be unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally transmitted between the electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller.

  • Patent number: 9859647
    Abstract: A two-part subsea bulkhead connector may be replaced and/or re-purposed of without draining an enclosure or disconnecting hard wiring therein, the two-part subsea bulkhead connector a first bulkhead connector, a second bulkhead connector, and a substantially water tight mechanical seal disposed intermediate the first bulkhead connector. When mated, first and second bulkhead connectors are aligned and contacts received into a corresponding contact. The first bulkhead connector is secured to the second bulkhead connector sufficiently to allow the mechanical seal to prevent water ingress. If a first contact becomes damaged or if a differing functionality set is needed, the second bulkhead connector may be removed from the first bulkhead connector and replaced.

  • Publication number: 20160320791
    Abstract: A zero droop handle a housing comprises a coupling end and an interior void; a shaft comprising a first end and a second end where the first end is disposed at least partially within the housing proximate the coupling end of the housing and extends through a shaft coupler, disposed at least partially within the interior void and configured to allow movement of the shaft within the interior void, and first pressure and second pressure plates disposed about the shaft where the first pressure plate is movable about the shaft and the second pressure plate is secured at a predetermined position along the shaft. A spring is disposed intermediate the first and second pressure plates and configured to urge the first pressure plate against the coupling end of the housing.
