US Classification:

114 74T, 114256, 220560

Abstract:

The instant invention is directed to large waterborne, towed flexible fluid containment vessels for the transportation of cargo comprising a fluid or fluidisable material and a method of fabricating the vessels. The flexible fluid containment vessel includes an impervious, elongated flexible tubular structure comprised of fabric having a first circumference. The vessel also includes a sealed front end and rear end and a means for filling and emptying the vessel of cargo. The front end or the rear end of the tubular structure is formed by weaving, knitting or braiding in such a manner to have a taper that terminates in a second circumference that is less than the first circumference.

International Classification:

G06F 1540

US Classification:

395600

Abstract:

The invention is directed to a computer implemented system and apparatus for transforming objects in a first data model (source design objects) to objects in a second data model (target design objects) and synchronizing the two data models. The result of the transformation is that at least one of the target design objects is associated with a corresponding source design object. The system associates a unique identifier with each of the target design objects and source design objects, the unique identifier being associated with each map associated with each design object.
