Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Speicherung und Archivierung betriebsspezifischer Daten von schwimmenden Fahrzeugen. Sie besteht darin, daß die Speicherung und Archivierung in einem in einer an sich bekannten EPIRB-Boje oder in eine Tauchkapsel integrierten systemunabhängigen elektronischen Prozeßschreiber mit einem Mikrorechnersystem 9 erfolgt, das eine NMEA 0183-Schnittstelle 12 und eine Ethernet-Schnittstelle 13 sowie eine eigene Online-USV aufweist. Dadurch kann das System an die verschiedensten Einsatzfälle unabhängig von den Herstellern der Datenquellen angepaßt werden.

Abstract:
A method and an unmanned surface vehicle for identifying and remediating a gas leak. The method includes detecting a first condition indicative of the gas leak with a first sensor and sensing environmental conditions near the gas leak with an environmental sensor. The method includes receiving, at a controller operatively coupled to the unmanned surface vehicle, signals representing the first condition indicative of the gas leak the environmental conditions near the gas leak. The method includes determining, by the controller and based on the first condition indicative of the gas leak and the environmental conditions near the gas leak, a navigation plan of the body of water including an ignition zone. The method includes positioning, based on the navigation plan, the unmanned surface vehicle relative to the ignition zone and discharging, by an ignition mechanism, an ignition source into the gas leak to ignite the gas leak.
Abstract:
A swimming hoop ring is provided for detecting safety of children. In one embodiment, a swimming hoop ring includes a ring made of plastic, wherein the ring is being worn by a child; a top GPS receiver on a top surface of the ring, wherein the top GPS receiver is used to detect location of the ring when the top surface of the ring surfaces onto water; a bottom GPS receiver on a bottom surface of the ring, wherein the bottom GPS server can be used to detect location of the ring when the top GPS receiver fails to operate as the top surface of the ring is flipped upside down into the water; a rf transmitter included in the ring, wherein the rf transmitter can be used to transmit rescue signals; a propeller included in the ring to steer the ring in certain directions; and a weight detector included in the ring to detect if there is a sudden drop of weight of the ring to indicate the child is being unsafe.
Abstract:
The Wearable Satellite Tracker (WST) is a worn by the operator and carries a two-way satellite transceiver that communicates to a Central Tracking Monitor a message with; a unique serial number of the device, position information (via GPS receiver), and the status of the WST. It requires no local equipment, local power or monitoring personal. Because it does not relay on any local equipment, cellular or any local network it can therefore can be used anywhere in the world. The system provides for test messages which give an acknowledgement that the complete system is working. It can be embedded into a personal floatation device for use on water or into a utility belt for use on land. The alarm can be triggered with a water sensor, panic button for the operator and/or other sensors as require by the operation environment. The Central Tracking Monitor will register test messages the WST has passed and for alarms it will alert persons or organizations as required. The ability to send and receive a system check message from the Central Tracking Monitor by the operator gives a high degree of confidence of the WST working in an alarm state.
