Abstract: A tool interchange for a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV) arm includes a first interchange body that affixes to an ROV arm. A second interchange body is carried by the first interchange body to rotate on a rotation axis. The second interchange body includes a tool mount actuable between gripping an ROV tool to the second interchange body and releasing the ROV tool from the second interchange body. An inductive power coupling part is provided in the tool mount. The inductive power coupling part is presented outwardly in the tool mount opposite the first interchange body, resides on the rotation axis and is fixed with respect to the first interchange body while the second interchange body rotates. The inductive power coupling part is adapted to inductively communicate power with a corresponding inductor power coupling part of the ROV tool when the ROV tool is docked in the tool mount.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor assembly to detect and quantify organic and/or inorganic mercury compounds, including elemental mercury that may be present in gases or liquids, such as natural gas, air, condensates, crude oil, refined petroleum gas or liquids, and water including connate water, condensed water and water containing hydrate inhibitor(s). The sensor assembly includes a housing having a flow channel defined by an inlet, a sensor array, and an outlet. The sensor array is based on the differential sorption properties measured using a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor array, a chemiresistor array, or a combination of the two.

Abstract: It has been proposed to employ a constant mesh gearbox of the kind having pairs of gears on parallel shafts in constant mesh with each other, together with a clutch, in an automatic vehicle transmission. A microprocessor controls actuators for the clutch and throttle and hydraulic actuators for moving the selector rod of the gearbox, in order to give automatic operation of the gearbox.In accordance with the invention, a constant mesh gearbox of the kind referred is provided with actuating means for moving the selector shaft and, in at least one direction of travel of the selector rod, the actuating means acts via resilient means which is arranged to store the energy of the actuating means when the actuating means is operated but the selector rod is not free to move, the rod being moved by the energized resilient means when the selector rod becomes free.
