Abstract: An apparatus for near vertical laying of pipeline offshore.    A support base and framework on a lay vessel support an alignment tower that extends upwardly from the base and is designed to support the pipe joint to be added to the pipeline.  A support tower that supports the weight of the pipeline is attached to the support base such that the support tower extends downwardly therefrom into the water.  A travel block is adapted for movement along the length of the tower for raising or lowering the pipe and pipeline.  A pedestal that is movable between open and closed positions for receiving a pipe section from the travel block and supporting the weight of the pipeline is positioned near the bottom of the tower.  A strongback or boom may be used to grasp a pipe joint from a ready rack and transfer the pipe joint into the alignment tower for addition of the pipe joint to the pipeline.   The extension of the support tower into the water eliminates the need for a stinger.  The attachment position and extension of the support tower into the water also lowers the center of gravity of the apparatus.

Title: An emergency power system
Inventor: THOMSEN OVE LYCK
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1994-02-11
Granted: 2004-09-28
Abstract: An emergency power system is connected between an AC voltage source (10) on the input and a load (Z) on the output. The emergency power system ensures a stable voltage on the output, even if the AC  voltage received from the AC voltage source (10) is irregular or is interrupted briefly. The emergency power system comprises an AC/DC converter (14) coupled between its output terminals and an AC regulator (20) positioned between the input and the output. The AC/DC converter (14) is coupled to a chargeable battery (12) and serves as a charging rectifier for the battery (12) in normal operation and as an inverter in emergency operation, the battery voltage being converted to AC voltage on the output of the emergency power system.  This can be done without changing the control of the converter (14) and the regulator (20). The AC regulator (20) is built as a controllable current generator supplying on its output an AC current which is in phase with the AC voltage received from die AC voltage source (10). Irrespective of the energy direction through it, the AC/DC converter (14) maintains the predetermined AC voltage (V out) across the output terminals of the emergency power system. The system moreover includes a comparison means (28) which senses and compares the battery state to a predetermined reference and supplies a signal in response to this. The intensity of the current supplied by the regulator (20) is controlled in response to the signal generated by the comparison means (28), so that in terms of energy the system is in power balance.

Title: Variable communication bandwidth for providing automatic call back and call hold
Inventor: BALES BRUCE MERRILL
IPC: H04M3/48
Filed: 1996-04-02
Granted: 1999-09-28
Abstract: Automatically reducing communication bandwidth to coincide with the state of a communication  call by a communication terminal.  If a first telecommunication terminal puts a second telecommunication terminal on hold, thefirst telecommunication terminal transmits a transport message that reduces the bandwidth of the call to a low speed data link. When the first telecommunicationterminal wishes to again be in communication with the second telecommunication terminal, a transport  message is utilized to restore the communication  bandwidth. If a first communication terminal calls a second communication terminal and the second communication terminal is busy, the first communication terminal reduces the bandwidth of the communication call to that of a low speed data link. When the second telecommunication terminal becomes idle, the second terminal sends a message to the first terminal indicating the idle state.  The first telecommunication terminal  then uses a transport message to increase the communication bandwidth to the desired amount and engages the second communication terminal in a communication  call.
