  • Publication number: 20150050089
    Abstract: A new jacket installation method is disclosed, especially for shallow water heavy jacket installation applications. The method utilizes a special type of air bags, called launching air bags, to provide low cost net buoyancy in order to make a shallow water jacket self afloat with a sufficient bottom clearance with seabed. At a floating state a minimum size installation crane vessel could be used to perform all needed jacket installation operations such as lowering, setting-down to seabed, driving foundation piles, grouting and the welding between foundation piles and jacket leg tops. For a shallow water heavy jacket installation, a crane vessel cost usually represents a majority cost of a jacket installation. Therefore, a significant savings could be achieved if a minimum size crane vessel could be used, instead of a large size crane vessel.

    Abstract: An electronic device with a plurality of keys which correspond to a plurality of standard voltages respectively comprises a voltage generation module, a detection module, storage, an acquiring module, a comparison module, and an extraction module. The voltage generation module with an initial voltage decreases the initial voltage to the standard voltage corresponding to the pressed key. The detection module detects whether the current voltage of the voltage generation module is equal to the initial voltage. The storage stores the current voltage as a reference voltage when the current voltage is not equal to the initial voltage. The acquiring module acquires a current voltage of the voltage generation module after a predetermined time. The comparison module compares the acquired current voltage with the reference voltage. When the acquired current voltage is equal to the reference voltage, the extraction module executes an operation corresponding to the reference voltage.

  • Publication number: 20140215110
    Abstract: A driving IC is being controlled by a host IC to update a driving program stored in a storage with a SPI interface. The driving IC includes a IIC interface, an identifying module, and a calculating module. The IIC interface receives an instruction from the host IC in the IIC protocol format. The identifying module determines whether the received instruction is an update instruction, and generates a converting instruction when the received instruction is the update instruction. The calculating module converts the received instruction into a SPI format according to a predetermined converting rule. The SPI interface transmits the converted instruction in the SPI format to the storage.
