Abstract: A wireless charging method for charging an underwater moving device is implemented by a charging device. The charging device receives electricity from a cable, and includes a first underwater wireless communication unit, a position holding unit, a first control unit, and a wireless charging transmitter. The underwater moving device includes a second underwater wireless communication unit, a wireless charging receiver, and a rechargeable battery. The first underwater wireless communication unit obtains moving device information by communicating with the second underwater wireless communication unit. The position holding unit holds the underwater moving device at a charging location, and generates a positioning success signal after the underwater moving device is held at the charging location. Upon receiving the positioning success signal, the first control unit controls the wireless charging transmitter to charge the rechargeable battery based on the moving device information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a diver's voice communication system which utilizes AI speech recognition, speech-to-text conversion with the ability to adapt to diver speech distortion resulting from hyperbaric helium-oxygen conditions and text transmission using underwater acoustic digital communication. Additionally, the communication system provides the ability to use speech commands in a digital form to control underwater autonomous devices. Further, the digital communication system provides the ability to track and communicate with a large number of divers or with select divers from a large group.

Abstract: A system where a large number of underwater devices can transmit their precise position relative to a fixed underwater beacon, by transmitting two short duration, precisely timed acoustic tones (pings). The arrival time of the pulses at the fixed underwater transceiver beacon will relay the transmitter's precise position relative to that beacon. The two pings code for two numbers; either the range and bearing or an X, Y coordinate of each object with respect to the beacon. Data messages can be sent to and received from the beacon, used for command, control and status. The pulses can be a single frequency and have duration of around a 1 ms and operate one or many frequencies to allow multiple cycles to be overlapped in time. This coding scheme allows many devices to send the data simultaneously in the cycle for group tracking from last position or as independent cycles for unambiguous tracking. The transducers used in the system can be omni-directional hydrophones. The tracking grid size is a function of the acoustic frequency chosen and range from 1000 m for 40 KHz and 6000 m for 8 kHz. The system requires that all nodes in the system keep precise synchronized time.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing the cellular connectivity state of a submerged wireless device. The wireless device can include sensors that analyze environmental conditions to determine when the wireless device is (or is not) submerged underwater as well as at what depth the wireless device is submerged underwater. The sensors can also determine different types of aquatic activity in which a user of the wireless device is currently engaged, such as swimming, snorkeling, free diving, and scuba diving. In turn, the wireless device can utilize this information to manage its cellular connectivity state in order to avoid wasteful consumptions of energy. In particular, the techniques enable the submerged wireless device to eliminate any existing cellular connection as well as connection reattempts so long as they are unlikely to succeed. Moreover, the techniques enable the wireless device to execute connection reattempts when they are appropriate and likely to succeed.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system including a tool drill string having a downhole device is disclosed. The downhole device includes a memory storing instructions and a downhole processor configured to execute the instructions to operate in a first transmission mode by default. The downhole processor is communicatively coupled to an uphole processor via the first transmission mode. The downhole processor is further to transmit, via a second transmission mode, a message to the uphole processor, determine whether a response is received, via the second transmission mode, from the uphole processor, and responsive to determining the response is received from the uphole processor, switch from the first transmission mode to the second transmission mode.
