The computer calculates a trajectory from the aiming tool to a first location on the user interface based on the received input.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an additive composition including a counteragent, and more particularly, to an additive composition for preparation of polyolefins, which improve flowability of a nucleating agent and exhibits excellent transparency, by applying a counteragent of a specific structure to a sorbitol nucleating agent which is an additive used in preparation of polyolefins.

Abstract: A transformer skeleton and a winding method using the same are provided. The transformer skeleton includes at least one limiting hook. The limiting hook and a pin of the transformer skeleton are located on a same side of the transformer skeleton. A wire, which is led out from a winding groove of the transformer skeleton, electrically contacts the pin and passes through the limiting hook. The limiting hook is used to prevent the wire from moving upward. The advantage of the transformer skeleton is that the transformer skeleton disposes at least one limiting hook which is used to prevent the wire from moving upward and only a single layer of the wire contacts the pin in order to reduce the height of a tin cone. The transformer skeleton can decrease the height of the tin cone by 70%˜80%, thereby efficiently decreasing the height and width of the transformer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transformer including a coiling frame, an iron core, and a fastener. There is a wire twining round the coiling frame, which has a through hole inside thereof. The iron core extends through the through hole and forms a magnet loop. The fastener comprises a first component and a second component. The first component connects with the second component in a horizontal direction thereby surrounding and fixing the coiling frame and the iron core. One advantage of the present invention is that the fastener fixing the coiling frame and the iron core has a split structure. The fastener is assembled with the coiling frame directly, and a combination of the coiling frame and the iron core need not be vertically assembled with the fastener so as to make the transformer assembling easier and avoid the size of the transformer troublesome.

An offshore platform arrangement includes a mobile offshore production unit (MOPU), a mobile storage platform and a mobile offloading platform which are disposed at a clearance distance from one another. The platforms are fluidly connected by pipes to allow hydrocarbon fluid transfer therebetween. The pipes are adapted to cease fluid communication of hydrocarbon fluid between platforms for preventing damage spread therebetween. Also disclosed is an offloading system for hydrocarbon fluid transfer which includes a lifting system having an extendable lifting arm and a spreader frame platform rotatably coupled to the lifting arm. The spreader frame platform is operable to support a transfer skid and allow angular adjustment of the transfer skid in a horizontal plane.
