| 20090020304 | SUBGRADE VAULT WITH LATCHING COVER - A subgrade vault with a latching cover. The vault includes a peripheral wall with an open access port at the top. A peripheral ledge surrounds the access port. A cover to close the access port fits inside it, with a latch assembly inside it and a retractable latch pin disposed to fit in an aperture in the peripheral ledge. The latch pin is retractable by the stabbing motion of a tapered tool against a cam surface on the latch pin. The cover is locked in place merely by pressing down on it. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090151971 | Cable Housing System - An embedded housing system storing cables below the surface in a protected environment, with a moveable surface lid lying flush with the existing surface and following the crown or slope across the travel path. The cables are readily raised out of the housing structure to obstruct traffic across the travel path, or lowered into the housing system to allow unobstructed traffic passage. Single cables, multiple cables, and utility lines can be enclosed and remain protected within the housing support structure. Once raised, the cables can be attached to an end support. The housing support structure is prefabricated in sections, selectively attached to match the existing crown or slope across the travel path, and then installed below the surface. The flush surface lid of the cable housing structure is only about 8 inches wide, and can be locked while in the closed position. Surface lid sections remain connected while opening simultaneously across the sloping travel path, using an interlocking mechanism. Rain water is inhibited from entering the housing support structure by the surface lid, but if it seeps inside, it will drain away by gravity. Ice and snow is melted by a heating device. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100288523 | COMPONENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A below ground component management system includes a base plate disposed below a ground surface, a sleeve connected to the base plate and extending substantially perpendicular thereto toward the ground surface, and a cover sealably connected to an upper opening of the sleeve to form a substantially fluid-tight compartment with the base plate and the sleeve. The system also includes a component rack disposed within the compartment, and an actuator assembly configured to pass at least a portion of the rack through the opening. The actuator assembly includes a bracket, and first and second cylinders connected to the bracket. The first cylinder has a piston extending toward the base plate and the second cylinder has a piston extending toward the opening. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20120073850 | CONSTRUCTION OF A HANDWELL AND THE LIKE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - An handwell or handhole assembly comprises (a) a longitudinally extending tube constructed from an electrical insulating material and comprising an upper end, a lower end and a wire inlet; (b) an inner cover constructed from an electrical insulating material and securable to the upper end of the tube; and, (c) an outer cover constructed from an electrical insulating material and comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter and releaseably securable to the inner cover. A method of installing the handwell assembly is also provided | 03-29-2012 |

| 20130220660 | SUBSEA UMBILICAL - An umbilical for use in the offshore production of hydrocarbons, the umbilical comprising at least one electric cable, the electric cable comprising at least one electric conductor ( | 08-29-2013 |
| 20130284481 | ELECTRIC SECTOR CABLE - It is disclosed a high voltage electric cable having a longitudinal axis and comprising a conductive core having a first cross section area. The conductive core comprises a solid, central conductor. It further comprises at least three solid, sector conductors stranded around the central conductor. The central conductor has a second cross section area and the ratio between the second and first cross section areas is of from 1/130 to 1/20. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20140014388 | OFFSHORE POWER GENERATION PLANT AND INSTALLATION METHOD - An offshore power generation plant includes: a power transducer driven by fluid movement; an electric generator, which is at least indirectly driven by the power transducer; an electrical connection cable for the power transmission; and a pile foundation, including a foundation pile, which extends below the ocean bed. The invention is characterized in that a cable passage is arranged on the foundation pile below the ocean bed, which extends through an outer wall of the foundation pile and through which the electrical connection cable is guided. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140076597 | Subterranean Cable - The present invention relates to a cable comprising a first conductor and a first insulator layer, wherein the first conductor and the first insulator extend along a longitudinal axis of the cable, wherein the first insulator layer is axially external to the conductor, and wherein the first insulator layer comprises a first fluoropolymer, as well as a method of manufacturing said cable, and a method for transmitting electricity using the cable. | 03-20-2014 |
| 20150372470 | Inclined Conductor Device - A conductor arrangement is for a collection of subterranean wells for recovering fluids from an underground structure. A frame is provided with several conductor guides, each forming an inlet opening for a conductor in an upper portion of the frame and an outlet opening for the conductor in a lower portion of the frame. The conductor is arranged to border a portion of a borehole towards a surrounding unconsolidated mass and has been passed through the conductor guide and down into the unconsolidated mass. The conductor guides are arranged in a mutually diverging manner in the direction from the inlet opening, and each conductor is extendable by a bend, the deflection angle of the bends providing mutually parallel center axes in coupling interfaces arranged in upper end portions of the bends. | 12-24-2015 |
