Flange tab system
10408369 · 2019-09-10 ·

A flange tab system includes a first member having a first-member-first-portion and a first-member-second-portion, a second member having a second-member-first portion and a second-member-second-portion, a third member, and a ring-like member. The flange tab system provides an electrical fitting for electrical current flow between pipelines or other structures. The flange tab system is configured to secure a wire to a pipeline for cathodic protection and various other applications.

FOOT SPRAYER ATTACHED TO WATERCRAFT
20190210698 · 2019-07-11 ·

A system for cleaning a deck that includes: a water supply; a bilge pump connected to the water supply; piping extending from the bilge pump under the deck; and a plurality of water streams emitting from the piping, where the plurality of water streams release over the top surface of the deck. The piping includes a plurality of holes and each hole enables emission of a water stream.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOLLUSK POPULATIONS
20190202719 · 2019-07-04 ·

A method for controlling mollusk populations is provided. Invasive mollusk populations may colonize lakes, rivers, streams, or other water sources such as commercial or industrial facilities. Mollusk populations may be eliminated or controlled by administering an organic acid solution to a raw water source colonized by mollusks. Organic acids such as lactic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, or glycolic acid may be utilized. Invasive mollusks may also attach to static surfaces such as marine equipment, boat hulls, or live wells. Attached mollusk or mollusk veligers may be eliminated or controlled by spraying attachment surfaces with an organic acid solution.

Floatable modular protective harbor structure and method of seasonal service extension of offshore vessels in ice-prone environments

Modular structure for protecting an offshore vessel in a body of water from forces of ice features comprising a protective harbor wall, a flotation support, a pile, and a telescoping connection. The telescoping connection is operatively coupled to the protective harbor wall and the flotation support and constructed and arranged to axially move the protective harbor wall between a retracted position and a raised position. The protective harbor wall is constructed and arranged to enclose a harbor space and to counteract the forces of ice features. The flotation support supports the protective harbor wall and is constructed and arranged to change net buoyancy of the modular protective structure to submerge the structure such that the flotation support is positioned on a seabed. The pile is constructed and arranged to be partially disposed in the seabed to maintain the position of the flotation support on the seabed.

Photovolatic powered cathodic protection probe

A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) compatible photovoltaic powered cathodic protection (CP) probe can measure voltage potential of subsea structures. In an embodiment, the CP's meter is integrated and able to send CP data topside. The CP meter's compact display module also houses the telemetry board to send CP readings, via an ROV serial, topside. The CP probe does not require a battery and can be used standalone or connected through an ROV to topside logging and display. Further, the CP probe can monitor a plurality of CP voltages and other conditions such as an electrical field gradient.
