    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system wherein coin-sized beacons can be attached to marine and other hazards such as buoys, shipwrecks, jetties and the like. The beacons can also be configured to a user's life jacket or other intimate item worn by divers or passengers. The beacon is equipped with an ability to emit sound/radio or light (Bluetooth or otherwise) waves that are detected by a user's receiving device hardware located aboard a vessel to alert the user of an approaching hazard. The signal can be configured to provide the location or distance and proximity to the vessel of the beacon and contact information of the beacon's registered owner. The beacon can continuously transmit these signals to alert oncoming vessels of the location of the beacon, or aid in the recovery of an overboard passenger or keep track of underwater divers. Further, the receiving device hardware can be adapted to a vessel's navigation system to automatically avoid marine hazards using the vessel's autopilot system.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communications field and disclose a data transmission device, method, and system, so as to better improve an average downlink throughput of UE. A specific solution is: A determining unit determines a downlink frequency shift according to a received uplink signal sent by a terminal device, and determines a second transmit frequency according to the downlink frequency shift and a first transmit frequency; and a sending unit sends a downlink signal to the terminal device according to the second transmit frequency determined by the determining unit, so that the terminal device receives the downlink signal according to a receive frequency corresponding to the first transmit frequency, where the downlink signal includes at least one of a DMRS or downlink data. The present invention is applied in a data transmission process.

    Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for alleviating impact of underwater pressure upon submersible devices and emitters. An interior space of the casing of a submersible device may be filled up with fluid to reduce the impact of underwater pressure. The submersible device may further comprise a pressure adjusting bladder attached to the casing through a structure that permits flow of fluid from the casing into the bladder. The bladder may enable the device to cope with varying degrees of fluid expansion due to changes in surrounding pressure or temperature. The submersible device may also comprise a special type of fluid and specially designed internal components so that the presence and flow of the fluid within the device do not affect the performance of the components.
