  • Publication number: 20250327441
    Abstract: A floatable, semi-submersible platform for a wind turbine includes a central turbine-tower-hosting column and three or more stabilizing columns. Upper main beams connect the top ends of the stabilizing columns to a top node that is itself connected about the turbine-tower-hosting column. Lower main beams connect the bottom ends of the stabilizing columns to a bottom node that is also connected about the turbine-tower-hosting column. Fixed ballast components may be located within the turbine-tower-hosting column and within the lower main beams. Hull trim compartments for containing ballast may be provided in the three stabilizing columns, and/or lower main beams, with transfer of ballast between the compartments being controlled by a hull trim system (HTS).

  • Publication number: 20180346413
    Abstract: A process for preparing an isocyanate compound is provided. The process includes a step of reacting an amine compound A having at least one primary amino group with CO2 and an organotin compound S having at least one radical OR3 attached to the tin atom of the organotin compound to convert at least one of the primary amino groups in the amine compound A into a carbamate group to obtain a carbamate compound C; a step of cleaving the carbamate groups in the obtained carbamate compound C to form the isocyanate compound and an alcohol R3OH, without separation of the tin compounds; and a step of obtaining the isocyanate compound. The radical R3 is a C-bound organic radical of 1-30 carbon atoms with 1, 2, or 3 carbon atoms optionally replaced by oxygen or nitrogen.

  • Patent number: 8170867
    Abstract: In the method of extraction, the words of the text are encoded by comparing them with the contents of a lexicon of tool words (essentially articles, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbal auxiliaries), and nominal groups are then identified by searching subsets of the resulting succession of encoded words to look for groups of encoded words that comply with predefined syntactical rules.
