    Abstract: A system for power and data transmission in a body of water to unmanned underwater vehicles comprises a floating surface station for generating electric energy and receiving and transmitting data; an underwater station connectable to at least one unmanned underwater vehicle; at least one submerged depth buoy; and an umbilical, which comprises a power transmission line and a data transmission line, is mechanically and electrically connected to the surface station and to the underwater station, and is mechanically coupled to the depth buoy so that the umbilical comprises a first umbilical section that is stretched between the underwater station and the depth buoy and a second umbilical section that extends loose between the depth buoy and the surface station.

    Abstract: A counter-current cross-flow heat exchanger for heating a first gas and cooling a second gas, includes modules in fluid communication with one another, each module being positioned on a plane, the planes mutually overlapping. Conduits allow entry and exit of the first and second gases into and out of the exchanger. Each module has heat exchange plates, with heating and cooling faces. The plates are orthogonal to the module plane and parallel to define alternating heating and cooling spaces. The first gas crosses each heating space with a direction substantially parallel to the plane of each module and the second gas crosses each cooling space with a direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of each module. The cooling spaces between adjacent modules are in direct fluid communication. The heating spaces between adjacent modules are in fluid communication with one another by conduits/conveyors, creating a serpentine path.

    Abstract: An assembly for lifting a payload of an offshore platform is provided. The offshore platform includes a support structure supporting the payload. The payload includes a main deck and a column directly connected to the support structure, the column supporting the main deck. The assembly includes a lower lifting device, having a welding surface weldable to a welding portion of the column and an upper lifting device having a coupling interface adapted to couple to a coupling portion of the payload and a plurality of tension rods, connecting the lower lifting device and the upper lifting device. At least some tension rods of the plurality of tension rods extend for a rod length along a rod direction (X-X) between the lower lifting device and the upper lifting device. At least some tension rods of the plurality of tension rods are pre-tensioned to exert a compressive action to the payload.

    Abstract: A blower device includes a Coanda effect fluid flow amplifier having a suction opening, an outlet opening to provide an amplified fluid flow, an inner passage along an amplifier central axis passing through the suction opening and the outlet opening. An inlet conduit inputs pressurized fluid into the inner passage for drawing the ambient fluid from the suction opening to the outlet opening by Coanda effect, achieving amplified flow. A diffuser downstream of the amplifier includes diffuser side walls that delimit a diffuser inner side surface extending about a diffuser central axis arranged along the amplifier central axis and terminates with a first flow inlet open end facing the outlet opening, and an opposite second flow outlet open end delivers further amplified fluid flow. At least one side opening is upstream of the second flow outlet open end to allow additional ambient fluid to be sucked into the diffuser.

    Abstract: A lower stack assembly of a blowout preventer for a hydrocarbon extraction well includes a safety function that can be hydraulically activated to rapidly cut off a pipeline section. The assembly includes a first valve and a first fluidic connection connecting the first valve and the least one safety function, so that the first valve selectively cuts off a flow of fluid directed towards the safety function. The assembly further includes a port operatively connected to the first valve, cooperating with a remotely operated vehicle to transmit a pilot signal to the first valve, an accumulator housing pressurized fluid, and a second fluidic connection. By cooperating with the first valve, the accumulator supplies pressurized fluid to the safety function to activate it. The second fluidic connection connects the accumulator and the first valve, so that the second fluidic connection remains operative during the entire working life of the assembly.
