Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system (10) for providing communication between a control module (6) having a connection interface (11) with a plurality of connectors (12) releasably connectable to a connection interface (2a) of an oil and/or gas module (2). The communication system (10) comprises a first electronic communication unit (20) providing a first type of communication via the connection interface (11) and a second electronic communication unit (30) providing a second type of communication via the connection interface (11). The system (10) further comprises a reconfiguration unit (40) connected between the connectors (12) and the first and second electronic communication units (20, 30) for reconfiguration of the connections between the respective connectors (12) and the first and second electronic communication units (20, 30).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a subsea electric power and communication module (10) for controlling a subsea module (2) of a subsea oil/gas installation (1). The module (10) comprises a housing (20), a first outer connector (30) provided outside of the housing (20), where the first outer connectors (30) is configured to be connected to a subsea module (2), and a control device (80) comprising electric power supply circuitry (80a) and/or communication circuitry (80b) 40b provided within the pressure sealed compartment (25). A penetrator device (50) is connected between the first outer connector (30) and the control device (80). The penetrator device (50) comprises a printed circuit board (51), a first sealing device (53) and a second sealing device (56) for sealing off a first area (A53) and a second area (A56) of the printed circuit board (51).

Abstract: A system and method for distributing electronic content from a content creator to an end-user operating an end-user device. The end-user purchases a number of license tokens, which are electronically distributed to the end-user device from a distributor. The end-user selects a content piece from the distributor's menu, which indicates a content identifier and a predefined number of license tokens required for each content piece. The end-user then downloads the selected content piece in encrypted form. If the user has purchased sufficient tokens for the selected content piece, the device consumes the predefined number of license tokens and uses a unique device identifier and the content identifier for the selected piece to generate a unique license key for accessing protected decryption software. The license key enables only the user's end-user device to decrypt only the selected content piece.

Abstract: A method of distributing to a plurality of computer appliances, an electronic license key that enables the appliance to access protected software. A selling party sends “license tokens” to a user. Each token enables the user to load a license key on one of the user's appliances. Tokens may be forwarded by the user for loading license keys onto other appliances. Tokens may be loaded onto a portable laptop computer, which can then be connected to “off-line” appliances in order to load license keys onto appliances that are not connected to a network through which the electronic license key can be downloaded.
