    Abstract: The present disclosure provides in at least one embodiment a rotatable keel skirt assembly on a rectangular-shaped keel pontoon. The rectangular-shaped keel pontoon reduces the maximum hull width by a significant percentage compared to a circular-shaped keel pontoon while maintaining the same hull motion performance. The rotatable keel skirt assembly allows the size of the pontoon to define the width of the hull during some fabrication phases of the platform, rather than the additional width of the keel skirt assembly. Thus, the outreach of the crane and other equipment can be effectively used as if the keel skirt assembly was not present. After fabrication, the hull can be moved away from the quayside and the keel skirt assembly can be rotated into position for service. Various systems and methods are disclosed for articulating the keel skirt assembly about the hull.

    Abstract translation: 本公开在至少一个实施例中提供了在矩形龙骨浮筒上的可旋转龙骨裙组件。 与圆形龙骨浮筒相比,矩形龙骨浮筒的最大船体宽度降低了相当大的百分比,同时保持了相同的船体运动性能。 可旋转龙骨裙组件允许浮筒的尺寸在平台的一些制造阶段而不是龙骨裙组件的附加宽度来限定船体的宽度。 因此,可以有效地使用起重机和其他设备的外伸,就好像龙骨裙组件不存在一样。 制造后,船体可以离开码头区域,龙骨裙组件可以旋转到适合的位置。 公开了围绕船体铰接龙骨裙组件的各种系统和方法。

    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of side-stepping the need to retrain neural network model after initially trained using a simulator by comparing real-world data to data predicted by the simulator for the same inputs, and developing a mapping correlation that adjusts real world data toward the simulation data. Thus, the decision logic developed in the simulation-trained model is preserved and continues to operate in an altered reality. A threshold metric of similarity can be initially provided into the mapping algorithm, which automatically adjusts real world data to adjusted data corresponding to the simulation data for operating the neural network model when the metric of similarity between the real world data and the simulation data exceeds the threshold metric. Updated learning can continue as desired, working in the background as conditions are monitored.
