  • Patent number: 9395021
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interconnection system and method for interconnecting hoses (40) for transmitting power, fluids, data, or any combination thereof in a marine environment by means of a leak-tight device (10) in the inlets (230) of which terminal covers (30) for the passage of umbilicals and blind covers (80) for sealing said inlets (230) can be interchanged, such that each of the hoses can be connected and disconnected independently. The inlets are arranged such that the umbilicals are laid according to one and the same direction and orientation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2016
    Assignee: FUNDACION TECNALIA RESEARCH & INNOVATION
    Inventors: Antonio Rico Rubio, José Villate Martínez, Pablo Ruiz Minguela, Pierpaolo Ricci, Pedro Ibañez Ereño

  • Patent number: 7906865
    Abstract: Installation for harnessing wave energy, comprising a floating structure (1) that comprises at least one gyroscopic device (5) with a flywheel (6) that can turn by the action of a motor (7) and a generator (10) configured so that when the gyroscopic device (5) is in use, said flywheel (6) is subjected to a pitching torque caused by the motion of the waves that feeds the generator (10), wherein the installation also comprises: means (23, 44) for controlling the motor (7); means (24, 45) for controlling the generator (10); a floating device (25) for capturing data on the waves; means for transmitting the data captured by the data-capturing floating device (25) and for receiving said data in the floating structure (1); a control unit (16) that calculates at least one parameter applicable by the means (23, 44) for controlling the motor (7) and at least one parameter applicable by the means (24, 45) for controlling the generator (10).
