20090050084 | Spark-ignited gas engine - Conventional spark-ignited gas engines with a mechanically controlled fuel feed valve have several disadvantages in terms of operation, expensive control, irregular combustion or unstable and unreliable operation, which in turn can lead to operational and mechanical problems. In order to eliminate these disadvantages it is suggested, according to the invention, that a controlled valve is installed in the fuel line upstream of the fuel feed valve so that in the fuel line between fuel feed valve and controlled valve a defined intermediate volume is created and gaseous fuel is fed via the controlled valve into the intermediate volume. | 02-26-2009 |

20140316496 | Intravascular Electrode Arrays for Neuromodulation - A neuromodulation catheter positionable within a blood vessel for transvascular nerve stimulation includes a catheter body and an electrically insulative substrate carried at a distal end of the catheter body. A distal end of the substrate includes a plurality of laterally spaced-apart fingers. The substrate includes a first face and a second face on an opposite side of the substrate from the first face. A plurality of electrodes are disposed on the first face of the substrate such that each of the fingers has a plurality of the electrodes longitudinally spaced thereon. A support at the distal end of the catheter is expandable within the blood vessel to bias the first faces of the fingers against the wall of a blood vessel so as to bias at least a portion of the electrodes in contact with the wall. | 10-23-2014 |

20090056936 | Subsea Structure Load Monitoring and Control System - A system for monitoring for loads in a subsea structure comprises one or more sensors disposed proximate a subsea structure such as a blow-out preventer. The sensors are configured to detect an induced load on a subsea structure. The detected load is communicated to a sensor data processor operatively in communication with the strain sensor. Using the detected load data, a load generator such as a remotely operated vehicle or other source of thrust has its thrust output adjusted to induce a load equal in force, but opposite in direction, to the detected induced loads. | 03-05-2009 |
20090100724 | Underwater Sediment Evacuation System - This invention is directed to an underwater sediment evacuation system. The invention uses a suction pile and one or more pumps, valves, and lines to evacuate sediment contained within the internal volume of the suction pile. | 04-23-2009 |
20100042357 | Manipulator Position Sensor System - A system and method for determining a position of an articulated member with respect to a predetermined plane comprise a multi-axis accelerometer mounted to a first movable member of an articulated set of members. The multi-axis accelerometer produces a sinusoidal signal in proportion to a position of the member with respect to a predetermined set of axes of a predetermined plane. An motion controller operatively in communication with the multi-axis accelerometer determines the angle of inclination as the arctangent of two readings obtained from the accelerometer. | 02-18-2010 |
20100086364 | Subsea Suction Pile Crane System - A subsea suction pile crane system comprises a suction pile and a crane mounted on the suction pile. The crane comprises a rotatable mounting surface, a winch, and a boom having a proximal section attached to the rotatable mounting surface such that the boom can pivot with respect to the mounting surface, and a distal section opposite the proximal section. In embodiments, a plurality of suction piles may be sed. The crane system is typically hydraulically operated. A preferred embodiment of the invention may further comprise a remotely operated vehicle comprising a hydraulic power supply operatively coupled to the crane, and a manipulator arm mounted on the distal section of the boom and operatively coupled to the hydraulic power supply. | 04-08-2010 |

Such methods and apparatus permit, for example, user-defined and/or other tasks to be combined in any combination or combinations to specify a workflow. The tasks can be linked for direct, serial processing and/or for conditional processing that includes branching and/or looping. The invention also improved methods and apparatus of workflow definition and processing with extensible actions. The invention provides, further, improved methods and apparatus for workflow definition and processing which utilize workflow variables for communication of data and control information among tasks within a workflow. The invention provides, still further, improved methods and apparatus of workflow definition and processing with enhanced messaging. The invention provides, still yet further, improved methods and apparatus for workflow definition and processing which permit definition of hierarchically enumerated data types and for definition of “plans” to collect, e.g., for storage, data such as the aforementioned hierarchical data types. | 06-23-2011 |
