Abstract: Method for laying a pipeline onto a seabed from a lay barge, the pipeline having an inner corrosion proof metallic cladding that is closely fitted with metallic contact to an outer pipe material that is less corrosion proof, distinguished in that a) a section of the pipeline is reeled onto a pipe laying drum, whilst an overpressure of 5-25 bar is maintained within the section by means of a pressurised fluid inside the section, b) a further pipeline section is joined to the section already reeled onto the pipe laying drum, whilst the pipeline is motionless without mechanical movement, as the overpressure can be relieved as long as the sections are without mechanical movement, c) an overpressure of 5-25 bar is applied within the sections and the further section is reeled onto the pipe laying drum, d) several sections are joined together and reeled onto one or several pipe laying drums by repeating step b) and c) until the predetermined pipeline length is achieved, e) the pipeline is laid from the lay barge onto the seabed using conventional method, whilst an overpressure of 5-25 bar is maintained within the pipeline by means of a pressurised fluid until the pipeline is correctly placed onto the seabed.

Title: Beverage proportioning
Inventor: BOYER GEORGE C
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 2006-12-28
Abstract: A semi-frozen beverage dispenser with an improved flow proportioning mechanism is provided. In a filling cycle, a first valve regulating the syrup flow opens first to deliver a predetermined volume before it closes and a second valve regulating the water flow opens to deliver a volume according to the desired water to syrup ratio. A common flow sensor measures the liquid flow volume for both the syrup and water and provides the information to the control system. If it takes too long to deliver the expected volume, the system gives out a liquid-low warning.
