Buoys TRIZ Cases
- Retractable Mooring Layout for Shallow-Water Platform Stability
Tension-based mooring and anchor-chain power generation improves shallow-water platform stability while reducing long-chain seabed interference.
- Detachable Underwater Data Pods for Continuous Sensor Retrieval
Buoyant detachable data pods surface on a timer or trigger, avoiding costly underwater recovery while keeping sensor data continuous.
- Underwater Vehicle Navigation With Surface Acoustic Tracking
Surface transmitters track an underwater vehicle and use acoustic time-of-flight signals for accurate real-time positioning without anchored beacons.
- Orthogonal Trunnion Gimbal Joint for Compact Two-Axis Load Transfer
An orthogonal trunnion gimbal joint uses a nested arm and bearing surfaces to deliver two-axis articulation with lower size and handling burden.
- Surface-Tracked Acoustic Navigation for Underwater Vehicles
A moving surface transmitter follows the underwater vehicle to deliver precise acoustic positioning without anchored beacons or long calibration.
