    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.

    摘要: A hydraulically operated tool adapted to remove coatings and surfaces from a substrate. The tool may comprise a robotic machine that includes a surface removal tool, a manipulator arm, and a rotation assembly. The manipulator arm may position the surface removal tool to a location along the substrate. The rotation assembly may adjust an angular position of the surface removal tool. A first end of the manipulator arm may be coupled to the surface removal tool, and a second end of the manipulator arm may be coupled to the rotation assembly. The manipulator arm may be hydraulically extended and retracted. The rotation assembly may comprise a spindle, and may be attached to a hinge pin and an air bladder. The rotation assembly may comprise a worm drive.
