  • Patent number: 12149026
    Abstract: A subsea wet-mateable connector handle has a handle part, a bushing support ring, a resilient bushing, a connector mount and a securing pin. A method of manufacturing a subsea wet-mateable connector handle includes cutting a handle part from a sheet of inherently corrosion resistant metal plate by a two-dimensional cutting process. A bushing support ring and a bushing are assembled onto a limb extending from the handle part. A connector mount is mounted to the bushing and the connector mount and bushing are fixed to the handle part with the securing pin.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160128212
    Abstract: An electrical distribution unit includes a first housing and at least one volume compensation system connected to the first housing. The at least one volume compensation system includes a compensator housing and a member, arranged to be movable inside the compensator housing to compensate for changes in volume caused by changes in pressure and/or temperature inside and/or outside of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20050150653
    Abstract: An apparatus in accordance with the invention may include a downhole tool and a data transmission path incorporated into the downhole tool. The data transmission path may include one or more contact surfaces providing electrical continuity to the data transmission path. To protect the contact surfaces from corrosion while maintaining electrical conductivity, a coating may be attached to one or more of the contact surfaces. The coating may include any of various materials that increase the corrosion-resistance of the underlying base metal, including but not limited to cobalt, nickel, tin, tin-lead, platinum, palladium, gold, silver, zinc, or combinations thereof.
