System, method and program product for predicting fleet reliability and maintaining a fleet of vehicles
InactiveUS20080154458A1Accurately predict part-level repair-shop throughputReduce part costVehicle testingRegistering/indicating working of vehiclesSpare partAirplane
A system, method and program product for maintaining fleet performance for a fleet of platforms, especially for a fleet of aircraft. Part removal data is contained in a maintenance database. A query is constructed for extracting part removal data from the maintenance database. Weibull analysis is applied to extracted part removal data. Exposed aircraft with parts being likely to fail within a given time period are identified from the Weibull analysis results. Overall part failure numbers are generated for each failing part. Inventory is checked to determine if sufficient spares are available to repair all expected failures. Any shortfalls may be covered. A risk report is generated for the fleet and for inventory. Each risk report highlights likely problems that may require immediate attention.

Dual Column Semisubmersible for Offshore Application
ActiveUS20090114139A1Increase relative motionEffective structureFloating buildingsBulkheads/pilesDual columnPontoon bridge
A dual column semisubmersible floating platform for use in offshore applications has a hull configuration including vertical support columns, pontoon structures connecting the lower ends of the vertical support columns, and a deck structure supported at an upper end of the columns. The vertical columns are arranged in pairs with one of the pair of vertical columns disposed a distance outward from the second of the pair. Arranging the columns in pairs provides for improved motions, more efficient deck structures and an improved opportunity to optimize the overall system for a particular application. The dual column semisubmersible can support offshore hydrocarbon drilling and production, including the use of wet trees or dry trees for hydrocarbon production. Risers can be supported on the pontoon and extended to the deck, and the structure can be anchored by mooring lines extending along the outboard face of the outboard columns extending radially outward and downward from their lower ends.

Preservation skid
InactiveUS20070151883A1Minimizes of injuryMinimizes riskOther accessoriesContainer/bottle contructionPunchingEngineering
This invention is a skid or pallet that arrives at a “using location” with a pre-installed hermetically integrated base sheet, produced from a flexible packaging material. It is built, such that one of several methods of securing any given asset to the skid can be utilized in a fashion that eliminates the possibility of compromising the integrity, or air-tightness, of the base sheet. An asset(s) can be secured to the invention rapidly with minimal labor expenditures without worrying about, precision registration of machine feet with skid bolts or the dangers associated with manual guidance of equipment over protruding bolts. This invention can reduce the amount of time spent in the preparation of an asset for export shipment or placement into long-term storage multi-fold; due to the elimination of measuring, punching, drilling, calking and alignment operations all of which will save money and enhance employee safety protection.

InactiveUS7258137B2Minimizes difficultyMinimizes riskProcess control/regulationFlow mixersControl mannerProduct gas
A system conveys two gases separately until controlled delivery and gas mixing are desired. The device maintains separation between the two gases with sealed, high temperature materials, and a geometry that contains gas flow channels that do not allow gas mixing. The present design provides a seal at the interfaces between components. An outer ring and an inner spool are assembled together to form a single component that accommodates the input of two, initially separate gases, and then contains and conveys the two gases separately to an exit surface where outlet holes allow the two gases to mix and react in a controlled manner upon exiting the component. The inlet holes for both gases are located on one side of the spool. The exit holes are formed in a centralized, alternating, completely interspersed array or grid-like pattern on the opposite surface of the spool.
