Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080239878 | OCEAN BOTTOM SEISMIC STATION - Methods and apparatus for cable termination and sensor integration at a sensor station within an ocean bottom seismic (OBS) cable array are disclosed. The sensor stations include a housing for various sensor components. Additionally, the sensor stations can accommodate an excess length of any data transmission members which may not be cut at the sensor station while enabling connection of one or more cut data transmission members with the sensor components. The sensor stations further manage any strength elements of the cable array. | 10-02-2008 |

The sensor stations further manage any strength elements of the cable array. | 02-11-2010 |
20100313659 | SEISMIC STREAMER - There is provided a solid seismic streamer cable for use in seismic surveying in marine environments. The streamer is characterised by a buffer layer | 12-16-2010 |
20100329791 | SYSTEM FOR DEPLOYMENT OF A SEABED CABLE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK - The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for retrieval and deployment of a cable distribution network comprising a main cable and secondary cable sections branched off from the main cable. Retrieval and deployment of the cable network is accomplished by use of a multi-reel system having separate primary and secondary reels for accommodating sections of the main cable and the secondary cable sections. Since the primary and secondary reels are independently rotatable, the cable network can be installed efficiently and reliably. | 12-30-2010 |

20120069703 | SEISMIC STREAMER - There is provided a solid seismic streamer cable for use in seismic surveying in marine environments. The streamer is characterised by a buffer layer | 03-22-2012 |
20120263540 | SUBSEA CABLE INSTALLATION UNIT - A subsea installation tool for installing a flexible body, e.g. a subsea fibre cable on a seabed from a surface vessel, and an associated method for installing the flexible body on the seabed is provided. The installation tool includes a tensioner that may be coupled to the flexible body to actively pull it down, thus increasing tension in an upper section of the cable from the installation vessel to the installation tool. High tension in the upper part of the cable gives good control even in strong sea currents. At the same time the tensioner enables lower tension in the bottom part cable from the installation tool to the seabed, giving good control of the touchdown position on the seabed. | 10-18-2012 |
20130003496 | ROTARY JOINT/SWIVEL DEVICE - A rotary joint or swivel device for ensuring a continuous connection between two items that rotates with respect to each other, for example between an instrumentation unit on a fixed installation and sensor elements in a cable on a rotating cable reel or drum, is provided. The rotary joint or swivel device comprises a minimum of two spools | 01-03-2013 |
20140033501 | SPLIT-ELEMENT OPTICAL HYDROPHONE - There is provided a solid seismic streamer cable for use in seismic surveying in marine environments. The streamer is characterised by a buffer layer | 02-06-2014 |
