  • Patent number: 11292563
    Abstract: Multiple systems and methods for providing supervised control of subsea vehicles for offshore asset management as well as supplemental autonomous control behaviors are described herein. These systems and methods provide offshore support and alternative supervised control of one or more vehicle generally irrespective of where the vehicle resides in an oil and gas offshore field.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2022
    Assignee: Oceaneering International, Inc.
    Inventors: Jami Joseph Cherami, Peter Andrew Robert Moles, Todd Newell, Lance Michael Williams
  • Patent number: 10746673
    Abstract: An inspection system may be deployed as part of a routine crew transfer diving (“CTV”) or service operation vessel (SOV) deployment to perform inspections for analyses which can be conducted while carrying out other inspection tasks. A marinized digital detector array and betatron source may be maneuvered proximate a first detector plate, which can be of a plurality of detector plates and a first exposure generated at the first detector plate which is then used to aid in generating one or more images comprising each such exposure. The images are then reconstructed to identify defects in the grout.

  • Publication number: 20190136477
    Abstract: A system for subsea inspection of grout in a subsea jacket such as jacket pin piles on offshore wind turbines comprises a subsea vehicle subsea which can be deployed in a cage style TMS which may comprise a radiographic assembly and a marinized digital detector array and betatron source which comprises an X-Ray source and an X-Ray detector plate. The subsea vehicle exits the cage style TMS and docks to the marinized digital detector array and betatron source, then is flown to a subsea structure to be inspected where the marinized digital detector array and betatron source is used to bombard the subsea structure to be inspected with x-rays, a portion of which are reflected and detecting, allowing an image to be generated of the structure to be inspected.

  • Publication number: 20140128735
    Abstract: A medical data acquisition and display system utilizing separate data signals to transmit both high-resolution data and low-latency synchronization data acquired from patient sensors utilizing different wireless protocols. The low-latency stream of data transmitted over a radio frequency transmission as a timing-pulse in real-time. This high-resolution data includes detailed sensor readings from the patient and also includes digital markers (i.e., the timing-pulse) identifying the temporal location of the high-resolution data relative to imaging data that is simultaneously acquired from a patient. The high-resolution data can be electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The timing pulse can be based on the physiological QRS complex within the ECG data. The imaging data can be echocardiogram imagery of a heart that generated the ECG data.
