Patent AU-769692-B2 (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for welding pipes together
Inventor: BELLONI ANTONIO
IPC: B23K9/028
Filed: 1999-12-21
Granted: 2004-01-29
Abstract: Two pipes are arranged, when forming a deep sea pipeline, end to end thereby defining a circumferentially extending narrow angled (less than 10 degrees) groove. Two arc welding torches are arranged directly adjacent to each other on a single carriage that moves around the pipes, thereby forming a twin arc welding system. The position of the arc of each torch is independently oscillated between the walls of the groove to form a weld therein. The arcs are guided automatically by an electronic guidance system, wherein electrical characteristics (such as arc current voltage and/or impedance) of the welding of each torch with regard to one of the two pipes are compared with the corresponding electrical characteristics relating to the other of the pipes. The position of an arc of a torch may thus be aligned with the center line of the groove.

Granted: 1999-01-14
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE95/01180 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 26, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 26, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 30, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07113 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 7, 1996Gravitation in three dimensions is measured using an accelerometer attached to a carrier, a satellite navigation receiver and a computer. The satellite navigation receiver determines a position and attitude, and changes in the position and attitude over time. The computer calculates complete kinematics in inertial space from the timely changes of the determined position and attitude and calculates the gravitation by subtracting the kinematic acceleration from the one observed by the accelerometer. In a preferred embodiment the accelerometer is connected tightly to the carrier. At most, damping elements may be mounted between the accelerometer and the carrier. The accelerometer can be a single accelerometer or a triplet of non-parallel accelerometers. The satellite navigation receiver may be one instrument equipped with three or more antennae or a set of three or more single instruments connected to each other. A time signal of the satellite navigation receiver is used for synchronizing the acceleration measurements. More specifically, the time signal of the satellite navigation receiver may be utilized for controlling the gate time of a counter, which counts an acceleration proportional frequency generated for signal evaluation.

Granted: 1987-01-22
Abstract: A probe (10) for inspecting the inner surface of a tube (40) utilises a group of large diameter optical fibres (12) as a light source and an annular ring (14) of smaller diameter optical fibres as interceptors of the reflected light. A pair of plano-convex lenses (16) focuses a light beam (42) emanating from the group of large diameter optical fibres (12) onto a reflective ball bearing (18) or a concave cone (32) causing a circumferential band (44) to be illuminated on the inner surface of the tube (40). Light from the band (44) is intercepted by the optical fibres within the annular ring (14) and is transmitted therethrough. The transfer of light from the band (44) to the annular ring (14) can be optimised by bevelling the end of the optical fibres (14) within the annular ring.

Inventor: LUDVIGSEN CARL
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1997-12-23
