    摘要: A system includes an acoustic transmitter and a magnetometer. The acoustic transmitter is configured to transmit an acoustic signal through a fluid with dissolved ions. The magnetometer is configured to detect the acoustic signal through the fluid. In some embodiments, such as in a passive sonar application, the system does not include a transmitter.

    摘要: Systems and apparatuses are disclosed for a hydrophone using a nitrogen vacancy center diamond magnetic sensor. Systems and hydrophone apparatuses are disclosed. In one implementation, a hydrophone includes a ferro-fluid that deforms when contacted by sound waves. A magnet is used to activate the ferro-fluid. One or more diamond nitrogen vacancy (DNV) sensors detect the magnetic field and movement of the ferro-fluid. For example, the movement of the ferrofluid changes the magnetic field of the ferro-fluid which can be detected. The changes in the magnetic field can then be used to determine the movement of the ferro-fluid. An electronic processor can translate movement of the ferro-fluid into acoustic data associated with the sound waves. In other implementations, the hydrophone can be installed within or as part of a vehicle. Further, the ferro-fluid can be enclosed in a membrane that is used to contain the ferro-fluid.

    摘要: A variable rigidity tow cable for attaching a first vehicle with a second vehicle. The tow cable includes a tension control cable having a first end and a second end. Tension on at least one of the ends of the tension control cable can be controlled to increase or decrease the length of the tension control cable. A plurality of beads are slidingly disposed on the tension control cable between the first end and the second end. The beads are free to move relative to one another on the tension control cable when the tension control cable is slack, and the beads are engaged with each other to form a rigid structure around the tension control cable when tension is applied to the tension control cable.

    摘要: An optical alignment system is provided that simplifies the alignment of two vehicles, for example during a docking procedure, and provides visual cues indicating range to prevent accidental collision. The optical alignment system includes a horizontal array of Fresnel lenses including a first plurality of Fresnel lenses disposed on one side of a vertical axis and a second plurality of Fresnel lenses disposed on the opposite side of the vertical axis. One Fresnel lens of the first plurality and one Fresnel lens of the second plurality are spaced equidistant from the vertical axis and form a first pair, and the Fresnel lenses of the first pair are arranged so that light paths therefrom converge along the vertical axis at a first distance behind the horizontal array of lights.
