20150019053 | COMMUNICATION WITH AN UNDERWATER VEHICLE - A method of communicating with an underwater vehicle comprising a propulsion system for propelling the vehicle through the water. A series of data sets are encoded and transmitted to the underwater vehicle in a series of signal bursts, and decoded at the underwater vehicle. The propulsion system is operated in a series of thrust pulses separated by drift periods such that the propulsion system operates at a relatively high rate during the thrust pulses and at a relatively low (or zero) rate during the drift periods. The drift periods are timed such that each signal burst arrives at the underwater vehicle during a drift period and not during a thrust pulse. The method may be performed with a single vehicle or a plurality of underwater vehicles. The encoded data signals are broadcast simultaneously to the underwater vehicles in the series of signal bursts. | 01-15-2015 |
20150124565 | DETERMINING POSITION OF UNDERWATER NODE - A method of determining the position of an underwater node. The positions of three or more transmitters are determined. Each transmitter transmits at least four pulses, wherein a time difference between each pulse and a previous one of the pulses is proportional to a respective co-ordinate of the position of the transmitter. The pulses are received at the underwater node and decoded by measuring the delays between them, thereby determining the co-ordinates of the transmitters. The range of each transmitter relative to the underwater node is also determined. Finally the position of the underwater node is determined in accordance with the co-ordinates and ranges. Any errors in the measurements of the delays between the pulses only translate into small errors in the determined position because of the proportionality between the delays and the coordinates. Therefore if there is a gradual decrease of signal-to-noise ratio then the accuracy of the position estimate also degrades gradually. Also, the use of pulse position modulation provides a low computation overhead in decoding and encoding. | 05-07-2015 |

20090151517 | Bolted Assembly and Apparatus and Method for Tensioning the Bolted Assembly - A system and method of tensioning a bolt across a flange assembly. A tensioning apparatus includes the bolt and an unthreaded nut connected to the shank member by an interference fit. The interference fit may be selectively relaxed by applying a fluid pressure to a groove between the nut and the bolt. A tensioner is energized by a pressure to pre-load the bolt by pulling on the bolt while pushing on the nut while the interference fit is sufficiently relaxed to allow relative movement between the nut and the bolt. The tensioner is sized to achieve the required pre-load in the bolt at the same working fluid pressure that is necessary to relax the interference fit on the stretched bolt, thus permitting a single pressure source to be used for both functions. Once the pre-load is established, the interference fit is reestablished by releasing pressure to the nut to secure the nut in position for maintaining the closure force across the flange assembly after the tensioner is removed. Because the nut does not need to rotate, the pre-load may be applied directly through the nut without the use of a bridge, thereby eliminating the need for overstressing of the bolt to accommodate seating of the nut once the tensioner is relaxed. | 06-18-2009 |
