20160061353 | A METHOD OF INSTALLING PIN PILES INTO A SEABED - A method of installing a plurality of pin piles into a seabed including at least the steps of: (a) lowering a pin pile apparatus comprising a first pin pile and an attached clump weight towards the seabed; (b) allowing the first pin pile to self-penetrate the seabed based on self-weight of the pin pile apparatus and the momentum from step (a) until the clump weight reaches the sea bed; (c) disconnecting the clump weight from the first pin pile; and (d) recovering the clump weight for use with a second pin pile and repeating steps (a)-(c). In this way, the pin piles are easily installed from their descent to the seabed with the clump weight, which can then be removed and applied to the next pin pile in an easy and repeatable operation without requiring a suction apparatus or hammer or drill. | 03-03-2016 |

20090123235 | OUTER PIPE SLEEVE FOR A SEA FLOOR MOORING PILE - The present disclosure provides an improved system and method for increasing an anchoring force on a pile. The concepts regarding the pile can apply whether the pile is degraded and no longer able to support its intended load, or a load on the pile has increased to a level that may overstress the pile. A sleeve can be installed even in subsea conditions over the pile and can be used to provide an additional securing force to the existing pile. The sleeve may include its own padeye for coupling an anchor line or other coupling member to a structure to be secured. The sleeve may also include an assembly of rings coupled together with at least one longitudinal member. The assembly with the rings spaced a distance away from each other may help reduce an installation friction on the sleeve, as it is installed into the sea floor. | 05-14-2009 |

20100293475 | NOTIFICATION OF ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS OF EMAIL MESSAGES - An email client software application can include a sending component, a receiving component, a notifier, and a reply-all option. The sending component can be for sending email messages to a set of recipients. The receiving component can be for receiving email messages. The notifier can be for receiving notifications from recipients to whom email messages have been previously sent. The received notifications can indicate that previously sent email messages have been forwarded to others. The reply-all option can be provided such that when triggered it automatically sends a reply message to a subset of recipients associated with an initial one of the email messages and to the others that have been sent the initial one of the email messages. The others included in the subset can be determined from the notifications received and processed by the notifier. | 11-18-2010 |
20120126999 | IDENTIFYING A POTENTIAL VEHICLE INCIDENT WITHIN A COMMUNICATION BLACK SPOT - A method, system and computer program product for identifying a potential vehicle incident within a communication black spot. It is identified when a vehicle has entered a communication black spot. It is further identified when the vehicle has failed to exit the communication black spot within a determined time period. It is then determined whether it is likely that the vehicle has failed to exit the communication black spot within the determined time period due to being involved in an incident (or whether there is another reasonable explanation for a vehicle's failure to exit). If it is determined that it is likely that the vehicle has been involved in an incident within the communication black spot, a third party can be alerted (by a service provider) to the potential that an incident has occurred within the communication black spot. | 05-24-2012 |

20080201712 | Method and System for Concurrent Message Processing - A method and system are provided for concurrent message processing. The system includes: an input queue capable of receiving multiple messages in a given order; an intermediary for processing the messages; and an output queue for releasing the messages from the intermediary. Means are provided for retrieving a message from an input queue for processing at the intermediary and starting a transaction under which the message is to be processed. The intermediate logic processes the transactions in parallel and a transaction management means ensures that the messages are released to the output queue in the order of the messages in the input queue. | 08-21-2008 |

20130061217 | Deciding Whether to Install a First Application within One of a Plurality of Candidate Environments - A mechanism is provided for deciding whether to install a first application within one of a plurality of candidate environments. An environment comprising one or more other applications. The first application and a candidate environment are analysed to determine whether there is the potential for the first application to interact in an unintended manner with an application in the candidate environment. If there is no such potential, then the environment is identified as a suitable environment into which to install the first application. An unintended interaction is when a rule would be broken by an interaction between the first application and an application in the candidate environment. | 03-07-2013 |
