    摘要: A lateral force and depth control device for a seismic streamer includes an inner housing including a coupling at each longitudinal end thereof. The couplings are configured to mate with a corresponding coupling at a longitudinal end of a streamer segment. The device includes an outer housing rotatably supported on the inner housing. A signal communication device is configured to transfer at least one of electrical power and signals between the inner housing and the outer housing while enabling relative rotation therebetween. A plurality of control surfaces are rotatably coupled to the outer housing and arranged about the circumference of the outer housing. The control surfaces are coupled to the outer housing by releasable couplings. A first controllable actuator and a second controllable actuator are disposed in the outer housing and functionally coupled to at least a first and a second one of the control surfaces, respectively.

    摘要: A connector is disclosed for joining two cable ends. The connector includes a load transfer plug adapted to couple to a strength member in each end of the cable. A connector insert assembly is coupled to an inner portion of each load transfer plug. Conductor terminals are disposed in corresponding openings of the insert. The terminals protrude from the insert. An alignment sleeve holder is coupled to one of the insert assemblies. The alignment sleeve holder includes alignment sleeves for receiving the protruding terminals. A housing element is sealingly coupled to an exterior of each of the plugs. The housing elements are adapted to coupled to each other and to urge the connector insert assemblies into contact with each other, and to transfer axial load between the plug coupled to each end of the cable. The housing elements have rotational and axial alignment features on corresponding surfaces. The housing elements are adapted to be removed from the plugs without uncoupling the cable from the plug.
