9 results about "Water column" patented technology

A water column is a conceptual column of water from the surface of a sea, river or lake to the bottom sediment. Descriptively, the deep sea water column is divided into five parts—pelagic zones (from Greek πέλαγος (pélagos), 'open sea')—from the surface to below the floor, as follows: epipelagic, from the surface to 200 meters below the surface; mesopelagic, from 200 to 1000 meters below the surface; bathypelagic, from 1000 to 4000 meters below the surface; abyssopelagic, from 4000 meters below the surface to the level sea floor; hadopelagic, depressions and crevices below the level sea floor.

Sonar target enhancement

PCT designated stageWO2026112225A1Image enhancementAcoustic wave reradiationImaging processingSonar imaging
A sonar target enhancement system and method are provided for consumer fish finder live sonar image processing. The system and method identify and enhance the visualization of specific targets, such as fish and lures, detected by such live sonar imaging systems. A sonar image enhancement pipeline utilizes a target enhancement kernel sized in accordance with the subject targets to provide enhancement thereof without also enhancing other sonar return data. The output of the enhancement pipeline is combined with the sonar data from the normal image filtering pipeline to produce a sonar image for display on the consumer fish finder that greatly increases the visibility of the targets without affecting the non-target sonar returns for, e.g., the bottom and structure in the water column.

Oscillating water column wave energy power generation system with focusing structure at bottom

This invention relates to the field of marine new energy technology utilization, and discloses an oscillating water column wave energy generation system with a bottom-mounted energy-concentrating structure. The system includes a jacket, an air chamber, a turbine power generation system, a radar altimeter, an infrared camera, an airflow velocity sensor, and a control unit. It also includes a bottom energy-concentrating component installed at the lower end of the air chamber and equipped with a transmission mechanism. A horizontal bottom plate and two symmetrically arranged energy-concentrating plates reflect and guide seawater at the bottom of the air chamber, concentrating energy beyond the width of the air chamber. The transmission mechanism synchronously controls the opening and closing of the energy-concentrating plates, changing the amount of seawater entering the air chamber at the inlet. This wave energy generation system can adjust the oscillation intensity of the water column in the air chamber according to changes in sea waves, ensuring that the generated airflow velocity matches the optimal operating frequency of the turbine power generation system, guaranteeing the power generation efficiency of the device. It also protects the oscillating water column wave energy generation device from wave impacts.

A shallow water column sampler

This invention discloses a shallow water columnar sampler, specifically relating to the technical field of underwater sampling equipment. It includes a telescopic column with a ladder base fixedly connected to its bottom end. Two sets of dual-cylinder sampling components are connected to the top of the telescopic column via a fixing mechanism. This invention utilizes the telescopic nature of the telescopic rod and the lever principle formed by the two sets of dual-cylinder sampling components on the telescopic column to successfully achieve balanced force distribution on both ends of the hull during sampling. This significantly improves the stability of the hull and avoids the danger of the hull tilting to one side or even capsizing due to the small size of the hull and the weight of the sampling device. Furthermore, in shallow water areas, the telescopic rod can be detached from the fixing mechanism, rotated, and its length adjusted to directly place the top cavity above the water surface for sampling. Sampling is convenient even when the hull is no longer under stress, greatly improving the flexibility of the device. The structure is simple and efficient.
