  • Patent number: 10792773
    Abstract: Actuators, systems, and methods for controlling tools are disclosed. One actuator includes a first motor, a second motor, and a controller. The first motor is operable to rotate a first threading extending in a first helical direction around an axis. The second motor is operable to rotate a second threading axially spaced apart from the first threading and extending in a second helical direction opposite the first helical direction around the axis. The controller is in communication with the first and second motors. The controller is configured to control speed and direction of the first and second motors to effect a desired pattern of axial and rotational movement of the tool. One method includes rotating the first threading in a first rotational direction, and simultaneously, rotating the second threading in a second rotational direction opposite the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10160528
    Abstract: A handling device (1) for an installable and retrievable subsea apparatus (2) to engage a docking device (3) on a subsea installation, the docking device (3) having a pair of engagement members (4, 5). The device (1) is provided with a top member (6) and a pair of engagement arms (7, 8) depending therefrom to extend along the outside of the apparatus (2). Each of the arms (7, 8) at a free end thereof is provided with a hook (7?, 8?) configured to engage in releasable way the engagement members (4; 5). A rotatable handle (9) is located above the top member (6) and has an integral or linked stem (10) which extends through the top member (6) and is pivotally linked to a top region of the apparatus (2). The handle (9) is able to operate the engagement arms (7, 8) relative to the engagement members (4,5).

  • Patent number: 7837636
    Abstract: A transmission device transforms an alternate rotational movement of an alternately rotating element into a linear reciprocating movement. The device includes a linear reciprocating element connected to the rotating element, and a first pivoting element having a first fixed pivot point connected to the linear reciprocating element. The transmission device includes a second pivoting element connected to the first pivoting element. A ball member, which may be connected to a CPR piston, is attached to the second pivoting element. A third pivoting element having a second fixed pivot point is connected to the second pivoting element.
