  • Patent number: 8561563
    Abstract: A mooring system may comprise a station keeping apparatus having a turntable rotatably mounted thereon. The station keeping apparatus is operable to movably couple to a first vessel and to a second vessel in a side-by-side configuration. The turntable is operable to freely rotate both the first and the second vessel about the station keeping apparatus. The station keeping apparatus is securable to the second vessel using a head mooring line having a length which is adjustable for aligning a heading of both the first and the second vessel with a prevailing weather direction. Further, the mooring system may comprise a rigid yoke or a soft yoke movably coupling the turntable to the first vessel for angular adjustment between the station keeping apparatus and a longitudinal center line of the first vessel.

  • Patent number: 8087975
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite sheet for mounting a workpiece and a method for making the same. The composite sheet includes a buffer layer and an adsorption layer. The buffer layer has a plurality of continuous pores. The adsorption layer is located on the buffer layer for adsorbing a workpiece, and the compression ratio of the buffer layer is higher than that of the adsorption layer. Thereby, due to low hardness, good adsorption effect, and high compression ratio, the composite sheet of the present invention has good buffer effect.
