    摘要: A dual buoyancy device having two external dimensions, in the smaller of which, one end is closed by an elastic sheet undistended, and in the greater of which the sheet is distended from its normal position thereby increasing the external dimension of the device; the distention of the sheet is accomplished by a thruster member bearing on the sheet which thruster is impelled by a weight and lever system actuated by gravity, which causes the thruster to distend the sheet.

    摘要: A system for measuring ocean characteristics. The system includes a sensor assembly and an associated means to control the system buoyancy to achieve cyclic ascent and descent at controlled speeds, either along a mooring line or free-drifting. Buoyancy control is provided by a pump assembly including two rolling diaphragm-sealed, low friction displacement pistons driven by a high torque d.c. motor operated at low speed. There are four functional groups of data gathering instrumentation. The first group measures horizontal water transport, and includes sensors for current (flow velocity), system azimuth, system tilt, and vertical velocity. The second group provides a determination of salinity, and includes sensors for conductivity, temperature and pressure. The third group monitors conditions within the system, and includes sensors for internal temperature and humidity. The fourth group monitors conditions utilized in the buoyancy control, and includes sensors for pressure (depth and depth rate) and piston position. A programmed microprocessor configuration provides overall operational control for the system.

    摘要: A line-handling retrofit kit for improving a submersible conveyance includes a mounting skid, a pair of storage containers, respective pliable caps for the storage containers, a line, and a hook configured to be held in a gripper. A respective pliable cap covers a mouth of each storage container and applies a drag on the line passing through an aperture in the respective pliable cap. The pair of storage containers are symmetrically arranged on the mounting skid with an in-between space. The in-between space aligns with an opening in the mounting skid and enables sensing through both the opening and the in-between space. The line is storable within the storage containers. The line has a first and second end, with the first end affixable to the submersible conveyance or the mounting skid. The hook is affixed to the second end of the line.
