Abstract: A support for electrical conductors, optical fibers, gas tubes, etc., having an elongated base, portions at each end of the base extending towards the front of the support, each end portion containing an aperture oriented perpendicular to the length of that base and lying parallel to the base. The support has a plurality of U-shaped recesses with openings facing the front to form a fluted link. A plurality of the fluted links can be arranged into a flexible carrier belt by inserting wires through the apertures to hold the fluted links adjacent to each other with adjacent ones facing in opposite directions. During assembly of the carrier belt, the conductors, fibers or tubes, etc., to be supported are fitted into appropriate U-shaped recesses that provide support for those items. The flexible carrier belt provides conductor connections between a stationary part and a rotatable part of an apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting underwater conduits and more specifically, to a method and apparatus which is capable of performing the diverless connection of underwater flowlines and connection of these flowlines to underwater structures such as flowline bases, xmas trees, and templates. The connection of underwater conduits is facilitated by the use of a remotely operated vehicle and connection apparatus both being launchable and recoverable by a support vessel. The connection apparatus adapted to mount on at least one of the underwater conduits and the connection apparatus allowing for docking of the remotely controlled vehicle which then captures and draws a second conduit to form a continuous flowline. Then a connection apparatus is clamped upon the conduits. The apparatus then bolts the conduits together.

Abstract: An activation frame for use by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to activate a subsea pipeline compression activated repair connector having no independent means of activation. The activation frame includes hydraulics and a control for the ROV to actuate the hydraulics. During installation, the hydraulics on the frame activate the pipe repair connector and form a seal between the connector and the pipe. The hydraulics, along with the frame, are separated from the connector after activation and returned to the surface.

Abstract: A water environment robotic system (10) and method has a buoyancy configuration which can be selectively altered. The system includes an underwater robotic vehicle (110) and a buoyancy module (116) that is configured to be selectively buoyantly engaged and buoyantly disengaged with the underwater robotic vehicle. A tether (118) is connected to the buoyancy module and a motor (120) is operatively connected to the tether and is configured to extend and retract the tether and buoyancy module. The tether can be extended and retracted to extend and retract the buoyancy module. Extending and retracting the buoyancy module can buoyantly engage or buoyantly disengage the buoyancy module with the underwater robotic vehicle according to the arrangement of the system. By engaging and disengaging the buoyancy module, the buoyancy of the underwater robot can be selectively altered.
