Title: Spar hull load out method
Inventor: HANEY JAMES A
IPC: B63B35/44
Filed: 2011-12-13
Granted: 2013-04-18
Abstract: Abstract A load out and float off method for a spar type structure or a load out method for another structure such as a deck. The invention enables the load out and float off of a large diameter spar using existing Heavy Lift Vessels (HLV's). A U-shaped tank (U-tank) is utilized to artificially extend the length of the HLV and to provide supplemental buoyancy to help lift the spar off the land ways during load out. The U-tank provides the necessary supplemental buoyancy and water plane area to float the spar off the HLV. After the departure of the HLV the U-tank is moved and placed beneath an adapter frame cantilevered off the top of the spar's hard tank. The U-tank is ballasted upward to lift the hard tank and reduce its draft. At the reduced draft of the hard tank the strake tips clear the channel bottom. Because the strake tips clear the channel bottom, the spar can be brought alongside the fabrication yard quay for additional work. Subsequently, at the reduced draft, the spar can be towed down the channel to the open sea. 1 4 ....... . . . . . . - 30

Title: Distinguishing Closed and Open Respiratory Airway Apneas by Complex Admittance Values
Inventor: BASSIN DAVID JOHN
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2013-08-06
Granted: 2015-07-30
Abstract: Abstract Methods and apparatus are disclosed for determining the occurrence of a closed or open apnea. Respiratory air flow from a patient is measured to give an air flow signal. The determination of an apnea is performed by applying an oscillatory pressure waveform of known frequency to a patient's airway, calculating a complex quantity representing a patient admittance (12) and comparing its value with ranges (14,16) indicative of open or closed apneas. The method distinguishes open from closed apneas even when the model used to calculate admittance is not based on details of the respiratory apparatus. In addition the patient admittance may be compared with admittance during normal breathing to avoid having to characterize the airway.
