Abstract: An offshore assembly to operate a facility, in particular an underwater oil and gas production facility, has: a semi-submersible support structure arranged in a body of water and having at least one tubular portion; a wind turbine to generate electricity and equipped with a tower, a nacelle and a blade assembly; and at least one back-up power source mounted on the semi-submersible support structure to generate electricity; a plurality of compartments stacked on top of each other within the tubular portion, in which each of the compartments is dedicated to housing respective equipment to perform respective functions; and a cooling and ventilation system to cool and ventilate the plurality of compartments.

Abstract: A ductile ultra-high performance concrete which includes in relative parts by weight: 100 of Portland cement; 50 to 200 of a sand having a single grading with a D1O to D90 between 0.063 and 5 mm, or a mixture of sands, the finest sand having a D1O to D90 between 0.063 and 1 mm and the coarsest sand having a D1O to D90 between 1 and 5 mm; 0 to 70 of a particulate pozzolanic or non-pozzolanic material or a mixture thereof having a mean particle size less than 15 ?m; 0.1 to 10 of a water-reducing superplasticizer; 10 to 30 of water; and 0.5 to 5% by volume relative to the volume of the hardened composition of glass fibers having an aspect ratio of 6 to 120.

Abstract: A rotor for an electrical machine that comprises two parallel magnet wheels, each of which comprises axial teeth so that each tooth on a wheel is situated in the space existing between two consecutive teeth on the other wheel, and that comprises magnetic elements, each arranged between two adjacent teeth and partly received in a groove produced in each of the opposite lateral faces of the two adjacent teeth. In one embodiment, each of the two adjacent teeth comprises one groove at a maximum, which emerges at the base of the first tooth.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine rotor which comprises: a rotary shaft; two field spiders which have the same diameter ranging between 90 and 120 mm and which are mounted centred on the shaft, each field spider comprising a circular radial plate; prongs extending axially toward the other field spider so as to nest tangentially between two adjacent axial peripheral prongs of the other field spider; an interpolar tangential space left between the opposing parallel lateral faces of two consecutive prongs of each field spider; and at least one ferromagnetic interpolar element the width (Lf) of which is defined orthogonal to the lateral faces of the adjacent prongs. According to the invention, the active width (Lf) of the ferromagnetic element is between 5 mm and 6 mm.
