SYSTEMS FOR SECURING BEND STIFFENERS TO RISER SYSTEMS IN OFFSHORE ENERGY PRODUCTION FACILITIES
Disclosed are systems for securing a bend stiffener to a riser in an offshore energy production facility. In one system, the lower end of the bend stiffener has a magnet that repels a magnet in a clamp on the riser a distance below the bend stiffener. The magnets repel one another with a force during operation to decelerate falling and prevent contact between the clamp and the bend stiffener. Methods are provided for retrofitting a riser system by adding the magnets. In another system, the riser has an upper portion and a tapered portion immediately below the upper portion. The outer diameter of the tapered portion increases such that the tapered portion can be friction fit into the lower end of the bend stiffener in the event that the bend stiffener is forced down or free falls onto the riser.
IMETHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPERABLY CONNECTING NOTEBOOK COMPUTING COMPONENTS USING ELECTROPERMANENT MAGNETS
A dual-contact electro-permanent magnet (EPM) assembly of an information handling system may comprise a plurality of high-coercivity magnets situated on opposite ends of a low-coercivity magnet, a first EPM magnetic contact disposed between a first of the plurality of high-coercivity magnets and the low-coercivity magnet, and a second EPM magnetic contact disposed between a second of the plurality of high-coercivity magnets and the low-coercivity magnet. The low-coercivity magnet polarity may correlate to a direction of current pulse applied to an electrically conductive wire coiled around the low-coercivity magnet, and dependent upon the low-coercivity magnet polarity, the first EPM magnetic contact is capable of operating in an attractive magnetic state to attract a ferromagnetic contact of a peripheral device while the second EPM magnetic contact is magnetically neutral with respect to the ferromagnetic contact.
Magnetic assembly structure and assembling/disassembling method using the magnetic assembly structure
A magnetic assembly structure has a main body and an inserting component. A first receiving slot of the main body receives a first magnetic component, and a second receiving slot of the main body penetrates a main body surface to form a main body opening on the main body surface. An engagement slot of the main body is disposed between the first receiving slot and the second receiving slot, communicated with the second receiving slot, and has a contacting surface being away from the main body surface with a distance. The receiving slot of the inserting component receives a second magnetic component. The inserting component is inserted into the second receiving slot via the main body opening, and the second magnetic component moves into the engagement slot. The magnetic assembly is assembled with a less force, has higher safety, and is hard to be disassembled without allowance or explanations.
Image display device
An image display device includes a frame including posts partitioning the inside space defined by rectangular frame members in a grid, and a display unit including two or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed on one surface of a substrate and a case accommodating the substrate and the LEDs. The case includes a bottom plate and an opening facing the bottom plate. The bottom plate faces the substrate, the opening exposes the LEDs, and a rear surface of the bottom plate is waterproofed. The display unit is accommodated in each of two or more compartments partitioned in a grid by the posts of the frame. A rear plate covers, from the rear surface of the bottom plate, the frame in which the display unit is accommodated, and a magnet is attached to a surface of the rear plate to attach/detach the rear plate to/from the frame.
Magnetic assembly structure
The present disclosure relates to a magnetic assembly structure which utilizes a magnetic attraction or repulsion effect generated by two magnetic components to make two buckle structures automatically engaged to each other. The magnetic assembly structure of the present disclosure has a first main body and a second main body, and via the hardware design of disposing magnetic components and buckle structures respectively on the first main body and the second main body, the first and second main bodies rotate in respect to each other due to the magnetic attraction or repulsion effect, so as to efficiently engage the two buckle structures each other. Thus, it actually eases the installation and uninstallation of the appliance to which the magnetic assembly structure is applied, and the costs of installation and consuming time are reduced.
CONNECTOR, ASSISTIVE DEVICE AND WEARABLE DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a connector, an assistive device, a wearable device, and a wearable device kit. The connector includes a first magnetic connecting component; and a second magnetic connecting component detachably connected to the first magnetic connecting component by magnetic attraction. By means of the connector of the present disclosure, the assistive device can be detachably connected to the wearable device more reliably and more flexibly.
DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES EMPLOYING A LIVING HINGE
A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360 allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.
FLEXIBLE MAGNETIC SEALING APPARATUS
A magnetic sealing closure, comprising: a. a first flexible strip, with a plurality of cavities adapted to incorporate a plurality of magnetic elements; b. a second flexible strip, with a plurality of cavities adapted to incorporate a plurality of magnetic elements; wherein said sealing closure comprises membranes connectable to said first strip, and a second membrane connectable to said second strip, such that said plurality of magnetic elements of said second strip are embedded within said plurality of cavities between said second strip and said second membrane; when said first and second strips and are brought together from the side of said first and second membranes, magnetic elements of said first and said second strips magnetically attract each other, such that a sealing is provided.
Electromagnetic holding magnet and method for manufacturing, electromagnetic locking element and use of the same
An electromagnetic holding magnet and a method for manufacturing the same, and an electromagnetic locking element that, that in a preferred embodiment, is a lock in a container of an oxygen emergency supply system of an aircraft. The electromagnetic holding magnet includes a yoke and a retaining plate interacting with the yoke as an anchor. At least one permanent magnet generates a magnetic retaining flux in the yoke that includes a first yoke leg and a second yoke leg as well as a middle pole. The middle pole is surrounded in sections by a magnetic coil. The first and second yoke legs are arranged symmetrically in relation to the middle pole and the magnetic coil.
