Towing/Pushing Equipment TRIZ Cases

Counterweight receiving device prevents surface rise and maintains sonar stability during rough sea recovery.

Steerable control surfaces on a towed depressor deliver maintenance payloads to streamers without stopping survey operations.

Automatic attaching device couples sonar transmitter to tow line via centering mechanism, eliminating hazardous manual handling in rough seas.

Movable receiving means dynamically align with an entering underwater vehicle, guiding it into a housing while preventing fin damage during rough sea recovery.

Integrated processing platform estimates noise levels to classify acoustic targets, reducing false alarms in noisy marine environments.

Integral local spring portions in a modular plastic envelope element adapt to hydrostatic pressure, preventing detachment from compressing underwater pipelines.

A crane-mounted coupling unit lowers into an unmanned ship accommodation hole while a winch winds the towing line to secure the connection.

Rotating towfish appendages reduce downward lift during high-speed maneuvers, lowering cable tension while maintaining operational depth.

Relocating heating functions to a tugboat via an insulated umbilical eliminates onboard fuel consumption and heat loss while preserving structural integrity.

Combining sparse deep streamer data with dense shallow streamer data through weighted interpolation to resolve low frequency signal-to-noise ratio limitations.

Pivotally connected plug elements in a hydraulic damper open apertures during the return stroke, reducing back stroke time while maintaining damping force.

Segmented bimini panels clear the elevated tow point, resolving interference between sun shielding and rope operation.
