Abstract:
A Controller is capable of executing non-safety-related control logic. A safety module is added to the Controller in order to increase the safety-integrity level of a Control System. The Controller is then able to execute safety-related control of real-world objects. Such a Control System may, for instance, exist at an offshore production platform or in a hazardous area of a chemical plant
Abstract:
A device for pumping paint comprises a pump house adapted to receive paint from a paint source, a pump shaft (8) for driving a pump member to rotate inside the house for pumping paint therethrough. The pump shaft is through an intermediate shaft piece connected to an output shaft (10) of a motor arranged outside the pump house through a wall of the pump house, said motor being arranged to drive the pump shaft and thereby the pump member. A sealing member (12) is arranged to counteract that paint leaks out of the pump house along the pump shaft. The sealing member is arranged to bear substantially axially sealingly against substantially axial surfaces (13) of the pump shaft around this shaft, in which the sealing member and/or these axial surfaces are of a ceramic material.
Abstract:
A connection assembly for a fuse base connection terminal (2) comprises a base (1) and a connection terminal (2) arranged on the base (1). A connection hole (21) is arranged on the connection terminal (2). The connection assembly also comprises a support piece (3) plugged into the connection terminal (2). The support piece (3) comprises an accommodation groove (31) used for accommodating a nut (4) or a bolt (5). A side surface of the accommodation groove (31) is provided with an opening (32). A bottom of the accommodation groove (31) is provided with a through hole (37). A position corresponding to the support piece (3) on the base (1) is provided with a bolt mounting hole (11). The bolt mounting hole (11), the connection hole (21) and the through hole (37) are on the same axis. Because the support piece (3) that can be plugged into the connection terminal (2) is arranged and the nut (4) or the bolt (5) can be put into the support piece (3), a user is free to choose to put the nut (4) or the bolt (5) into the support piece (3) to connect of the connection terminal (2) to a cable.
Abstract:
It is presented a power system (3) for dynamic positioning of a vessel. The power system disclosed herein reduces the specific fuel consumption, reduces carbon buildup deposits and the risk of cylinder bore glazing while in combustion engine driven generators and provides an adequate protection against blackouts for several dynamic positioning classes. The power system (3) comprises a first combustion engine driven generator (G1), a second combustion engine driven generator (G2), a battery unit (11), and a converter unit (9) arranged to provide power to the vessel from the battery unit (11), wherein in a first operational state of the power system (3) only the first combustion engine driven generator (G1) is arranged to deliver power to the vessel, and wherein in a second operational state, in which the first combustion engine driven generator (G1) is subject to a fault, the second combustion engine driven generator (G2) is arranged to deliver power to the vessel, and wherein the converter unit (9) is arranged to deliver power to the vessel during transition from the first to the second operational state. It is also presented a sectionalised power system (2) which is a system comprising several power systems (3) as defined hereabove.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for localizing a node in a wireless network, the method comprising: receiving location signals transmitted by beacons, the location signals comprising information about the locations of the respective beacons; detecting the respective received signal strengths of the received location signals; obtaining information about the different signal levels at which the beacons can transmit; studying the received location signals; determining the signal levels used by each of the beacons for the transmission of the location signals, based on the studying of the received signals; calculating a distance to each of the beacons based on the detected signal strengths and the determined signal levels; and localizing the node by means of the received location information and the calculated distances. The invention also relates to a node ant to a wireless network.

The robot is also mobile and arranged for movement or travel and suitable for maintenance and inspection tasks in an installation for oil and gas.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a drive controller arranged to provide electrical power from a power supply (10) to a machine (8) or load, over a long AC power cable of the order of kilometers. The drive controller (4) is arranged with circuits and/or control processes to provide AC current at a constant ratio of voltage and frequency to said machine (8) or load. The drive controller maintains voltage and frequency at the machine terminals despite fluctuations in voltage and/or frequency that would ordinarily be caused by the load. This is done by estimating the voltage and current at the machine terminals and adapting the drive controller output accordingly to actively vary the converter output dependent on the load of the machine or other load. In other aspects of the invention a method and a computer program for carrying out the method are described.
