Patent EP-1499808-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MARMAROPOULOS GEORGE
IPC: B32B3/06
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne une forme de fermeture velcro (10) à dégrafage électrique permettant à une moitié de ladite fermeture de se détacher de l'autre moitié sans qu'une force physique directe ne soit appliquée sur l'une desdites moitiés. Les éléments crochets (21) de cette fermeture sont formés à partir d'un matériau en alliage à mémoire de forme (27), tel que le Ninitol, disponible sur le marché. Le dégrafage de la moitié à crochets (14) de la moitié à boucles (12) s'effectue par le passage d'un courant électrique à travers ledit matériau en alliage à mémoire de forme, ce courant électrique redressant les crochets (21) de sorte qu'ils se dégagent du contact avec les boucles (18). Le flux d'électricité à travers la moitié à crochets active le matériau de Ninitol (27), ce qui change sa forme, soit en allongeant sa longueur, soit en la raccourcissant. Ce changement de forme est destiné à agir sur la longueur de matériau (28) qui reste fixe ou qui change de forme dans une direction opposée, de sorte à provoquer le redressement de la forme des crochets jusqu'à ce qu'ils prennent une forme de tige. Lorsque le flux d'énergie électrique s'arrête, les crochets (21) retrouvent leur forme initiale, ladite forme leur permettant d'être à nouveau mis en contact avec les boucles (18) lors d'un accouplement classique des deux moitiés de la fermeture. Le dégrafage et la remise en contact peuvent ainsi se répéter sensiblement indéfiniment.

Abstract: The invention describes a cost-effective alternative for deploying and installing subsea equipment (80) using a workboat or other vessel of opportunity (20). The equipment is not supported directly by the vessel, but is instead supported by one or more buoys (110, 160) below the wave zone. The buoys are controlled by a combination of chain (130), wire rope (140), and synthetic line (120, 170) linking it to the workboat. As such, the buoy system described herein decouples vessel motion from the payload by supporting the payload from the buoys below the wave zone. Because the buoys are below the wave action and its associated turbulence, there is little energy and hence little tendency for motion. The result is a stable, inexpensive, maneuverable system capable of servicing large subsea payloads in a wide range of water depths.
