  • Patent number: 11459067
    Abstract: Systems and processes for recovering a condensate from a conduit. In one embodiment, the system can include a floating buoy that can include a fluid swivel assembly coupled thereto. The system can also include a floating conduit, a first gas transfer conduit, and a second gas transfer conduit that can be configured to transfer a gas discharged from a vessel storage tank to a pipeline end manifold located at a subsea location. The system can also include a first condensation conduit, a pump, and a second condensation conduit that can be configured to transfer at least a portion of any condensate that accumulates within an internal volume of the floating conduit at a low point between the vessel storage tank and the first gas transfer conduit into a flow path defined by a first swivel section of the fluid swivel assembly, a storage tank, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 10794539
    Abstract: Systems and processes for recovering a gas from a vessel. The system can include a buoy that can include a fluid swivel assembly. The fluid swivel assembly can have a first swivel section rotatably coupled to a second swivel section. The system can also include a first liquid transfer conduit, a first gas transfer conduit, a second liquid transfer conduit, and a second gas transfer conduit. The first swivel section and the second swivel section can be configured to maintain fluid communication between the first liquid transfer conduit and the second liquid transfer conduit. The first swivel section and the second swivel section can be configured to maintain fluid communication between the first gas transfer conduit and the second gas transfer conduit. The first gas transfer conduit and the second gas transfer conduit can be configured to convey a gas from a vessel to a subsea location.

  • Publication number: 20060020574
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for optimizing area related to hardware implementation of algorithms. The algorithms may be related to functionality of an embedded system, for instance. System functionality may be initially implemented in software and converted to hardware implementation. Prior to implementing system functionality in actual hardware, algorithms for selected system functionality or desirable all system functionality may be evaluated to determine values attained by selected variables or desirably all the variables comprised therein. In one embodiment, a probe may applied to the original software code to determine a maximum value and a minimum value corresponding to each of the variables of the algorithm (or at least one such variable) may be tracked across one or more invocations of functions (or other code components) of the algorithm comprising such variables. Based on such tracked values, a minimum size (e.g.

  • Patent number: 6507901
    Abstract: A method and computer program for allocating storage for a header and one or more data elements in a data storage facility are disclosed. The method and computer program include computing a hole size B that is a portion of a word that would be unallocated if storage were allocated to the header and to the data elements in a preferred order. The method and computer program include finding a subset of data elements S={Fi1, Fi2, . . . , Fin} that satisfy the equation (SizeModN(Fi1)+SizeModN(Fi2)+ . . . +SizeModN(Fin))mod N=B where N is the largest alignment requirement associated with any data element. The method and computer program include allocating storage to data elements in S first and allocating storage to the remaining elements in the preferred order. A lookup table and a method for building the lookup table are also disclosed.
