  • Patent number: 8711002
    Abstract: A subsea control module has a casing inside which there is at least one pair of electrodes, there being electronic means connected with the electrodes of the or each pair for monitoring at least one electrical characteristic between the electrodes as a result of a fluid to which the electrodes are exposed. This can include, for example, a change due to an ingress of seawater and/or an ingress of hydraulic fluid into the interior of the casing. The or each pair of electrodes include an array in which each electrode of the pair has finger portions interleaved with finger portions of the other electrode.

  • Publication number: 20090317267
    Abstract: A hydraulic intensifier with a piston and cylinder assembly (1) having a first piston (3) in a chamber (4) of low pressure cylinder and a second piston (7) in a chamber (8) of a high pressure cylinder. The first and second pistons are coupled together and the first piston has a larger cross-sectional area than the second piston. A high pressure output (19) is coupled to the chamber of the high pressure cylinder, there being; means (13) for supplying low pressure hydraulic fluid to the chamber of the low pressure cylinder; an electrically operated directional control valve (11) for controlling the supply of low pressure hydraulic fluid to the chamber of the low pressure cylinder; and electronic means (14) for controlling operation of the directional control valve.
