20110220352 | TREATMENT OF PRODUCED HYDROCARBON FLUID CONTAINING WATER - It is described a method for treating a flow of fluid hydrocarbons containing water wherein the flow of fluid hydrocarbons is introduced into a first separator separating at least free water from said flow of fluid hydrocarbons, wherein a remainder of said fluid hydrocarbon flow is introduced into a system converting free/condensed water in the fluid hydrocarbon flow in said system to gas hydrates, and providing at least a first fluid flow and a second fluid flow, wherein said first fluid flow is a liquid phase comprising gas hydrates, said first fluid flow is recycled into the first separator, and wherein the second fluid flow having a content of dry gas and/or condensate/oil. The invention also provides a system for treatment of a flow of fluid hydrocarbon fluid containing water, said system including the following elements listed in the flow direction and connected with each other: connection to a hydrocarbon production source ( | 09-15-2011 |

20100064679 | DEVICE FOR A WINCH-OPERATED WAVE-POWER PLANT - A device for a wave-power plant includes a self-tightening winch with a winch wire. The winch wire is connected to a wave-power-operated absorption element at one end and to a cable drum of the self-tightening winch at the other end. The cable drum is connected via a transmission system to an outgoing axle which is further connected to an energy-storing restructuring machinery. Movement of the absorption element results in rotation of the cable drum and transmission of mechanical energy from the cable drum to the rotating outgoing axle and to the restructuring machinery. The transmission system includes a slip clutch connected to the outgoing axle, which protects the components in the wave-power plant, particularly the components in the restructuring machinery, against overload in the event of large wave amplitude. The engagement of the slip clutch varies depending on the rotational speed or torque of the outgoing axel, thereby providing a maximum threshold for how great an amount of energy per time unit can be transmitted to the outgoing axle and to the energy-storing restructuring machinery. | 03-18-2010 |
20110258998 | DEVICE FOR A WINCH-OPERATED WAVE-POWER PLANT - A device for a winch-operated wave-power plant with a self-tightening winch connecting a wave-energy-absorbing body via a winch wire to a reference point. A winch cable drum is connected via a mechanical energy absorption- and conversion system to a rotating outgoing axle. The mechanical energy absorption- and conversion system is connected to a slip clutch. The slip clutch is arranged between the winch axle and the outgoing axle. The slip clutch can be set to slip, thereby reducing the flow of mechanical rotational energy from the rotating winch through the mechanical energy absorption- and conversion system, so that the amount of energy per time unit absorbed by the mechanical energy absorption- and conversion system is limited by how much the slip clutch slips. The system further includes a governing system controlling the slip clutch by acting upon excessive speed and/or forces in the winch and the winch axle. | 10-27-2011 |
20130081388 | WAVE POWERED BUOYANCY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FLOATING WAVE POWER PLANTS - A system for controlling the submersion of a floating section/body of a wave power plant includes a pump connected to a compressible fluid accumulator and a ballast chamber. The pump is arranged to pump compressible fluid from the ballast chamber to the accumulator. The system further includes an opening in a wall of the ballast chamber that enables the ballast chamber to let in seawater. Furthermore, the pump is powered by wave energy. | 04-04-2013 |

20100178819 | LOADING SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a loading system for transferring at least one medium between a first installation and a floating vessel, comprising an anchoring device which can be fixed relative to a seabed, at least one elongated first transfer element, which is normally vertically oriented in an installed state, at least one flexible second transfer element arranged in the extension of the first transfer element by a swivel arrangement which is mounted between the first and second transfer element. The swivel arrangement is rotatable at least about a longitudinal axis of the first transfer element. A free end of the second transfer element, in an installed state when the system is not being used, is located freely suspended in the body of water. The invention also relates to a retrieval system and method. | 07-15-2010 |

20120028273 | Particle Analysis Assay for Biomolecular Quantification - A method is provided for carrying out multi-step separations of objects bearing at least two binding sites. In the first step, a first binder/bead composition is bound to objects that bear the first binding site, and then unbound objects, i.e. objects not bearing the first binding site, are separated from bound objects. In the second step, a second binder/bead composition is bound to the remaining objects that bear the second binding site, and then the objects that are bound to both beads are removed from those objects that are bound to only one bead. The beads can differ in magnetic responsiveness, charge, size, color, and the like, and these differences can be used to carry out the separation steps. | 02-02-2012 |
