Towing/Pushing Equipment TRIZ Cases
- Wave-Powered Device Nesting for Compact Storage
Nesting wave-actuated components inside a float cavity reduces storage volume and simplifies transport handling.
- Universal Boat Tower Boom Attachment System
A universal boom attachment system distributes downward forces across multiple boat structures using adjustable clamps and diagonal cabling.
- Marine Equipment Deployment System With Lateral Tow Line Guide
Aft lateral outriggers guide tow lines via sheaves to prevent entanglement during marine equipment deployment.
- Rotating Acoustic Projector Tow Body for Sonar
A tow body with a rotating acoustic projector directs sonar beams vertically while being towed through water.
- Load Compensating Mooring Hooks for Dynamic Tension Control
Active control systems compensate for large wave heights by adjusting mooring line tension, preventing breakage and ensuring safe offshore operations.
- Tug Vessel Automatic Release System Heeling Angle Detection
Mechanical angle detection triggers hawser release at critical heeling angles, eliminating electrical dependency and preventing vessel capsizing.
- Buoyant Raft Tow Rope Attachment for Water Ski Stability
An elevated tow rope attachment on a buoyant raft resists ski submersion and eliminates strenuous direct rope handling.
- Asymmetric Pulley Winch for Marine Deflector Angle Control
Motorized winches with asymmetric pulleys dynamically adjust bridle lines to optimize deflector angle of attack while reducing power supply vulnerability.
- Controllable Tail Buoy for Marine Survey Signal Accuracy
A controllable tail buoy adjusts submersion depth to steer sensor streamers and maintain precise orientation during marine towing operations.
- Streamer Connecting Module Reducing Weight and Noise
A streamer connecting module uses internal ball bearings to secure connecting parts within a housing.
- Autonomous Marine Vehicle Cable Attachment
Autonomous detection and locking mechanisms enable secure vehicle attachment to traction cables despite rough sea swells.
- Modular Offshore Attachment System Using Latched Adaptor
Segmented porch and adaptor components engage via latches to retain equipment, eliminating time-consuming welding operations on offshore platforms.
- Marine Vessel Cable Handling and Seismic Device Storage
Integrated robotic deployment reduces deck space requirements while improving operational safety in harsh marine environments.
- Telemetry Unit Mediator for Auxiliary Device Communication
A message server mediates communication between telemetry units and diverse auxiliary devices, reducing processing complexity while maintaining adaptability.
- ATB Ballast Transfer via Umbilical Lines
Transferring ballast water between the tug and barge tanks via umbilical lines eliminates invasive species discharge while maintaining operational flexibility.
- Planer Board Hydrofoil and Spring-Loaded Line Release
Hydrofoils on the planer board improve fluid movement efficiency, while a spring-loaded release mechanism facilitates easy operation with wet hands.
