Abstract:
A wave-powered water vehicle includes a surface float, a submerged swimmer, and a tether which connects the float and the swimmer, so that the swimmer moves up and down as a result of wave motion. The swimmer includes one or more fins which interact with the water as the swimmer moves up and down, and generate forces which propel the vehicle forward. The vehicle, which need not be manned, can carry communication and control equipment so that it can follow a course directed by signals sent to it, and so that it can record or transmit data from sensors on the vehicle.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an unmanned water vehicle to carry out tasks which would be tedious, expensive or dangerous to carry out using a vehicle operated by human beings.SOLUTION: The wave-powered water vehicle includes: a surface float 11; a submerged swimmer 21; and a tether 31 which connects the float and the swimmer, so that the swimmer moves up and down as a result of wave motion. The swimmer includes one or more fins 213, 214 which interact with the water as the swimmer moves up and down, and generate forces which propel the vehicle forward. The vehicle, which need not be manned, can carry communication devices 113, 114 and a control device 217 so that it can follow a course directed by signals sent to it, and so that it can record or transmit data from sensors on the vehicle.
Abstract in simplified Chinese:可适配模块化电力系统(AMPS)以多种方式分层级。AMPS模块连接到底板,一个或多个AMPS底板可以形成AMPS域。在同一时间,设备电子设备是模块化的,各有效载荷箱需要彼此通信。提供常见的电源和信号传输缆线来使有效载荷箱互连。还提供专用的连接器系统,使得AMPS模块可以进行通信、控制、接收数据,并供给和接收电力。
Abstract in simplified Chinese:一种以波动为动力的水上运输工具,其包含一水面浮体,一沉入水中之游泳器,以及一连接该浮体和该游泳器的系绳,因此该游泳器可因波动运动的结果而向上或向下移动。该游泳器包含一个或多个鳍板,当该游泳器向上或向下移动时,该鳍板系与水共同作用,而产生将运输工具向前推动的力量。该运输工具,不需要人为操纵,可运载通信和控制设备,因此该运输工具可以遵循由发送至该运输工具的信号所指示的路径行进,且因此其可以记录或发送来自该运输工具上之传感器的数据。
Abstract in simplified Chinese:一种波动力水运载器,包括a)第一部件,其为在水面或水面附近运动的浮体;b)第二部件,其由波浪驱动并在第一部件下方运动;以及c)将第一部件啮合第二部件和/或第二部件啮合第一部件的设备;其中啮合设备使一个部件为另一部件提供横向支撑,从而在部件组装在一起时使一个部件相对另一部件的横向运动降到最低。
