20090084296 | Wave-Powered Energy Conversion System - A wave-powered device having enhanced motion. The device including first, second, and third barges, with the second barge having a first reservoir and a second reservoir. The first and second reservoirs being coupled by a first passageway to permit a first fluid to selectively and passively move between the first and second reservoirs in a predetermined manner to increase the pitching moment of the second barge while the second barge pitches while floating over waves. A first coupling mechanism is coupled between the first and second barges to enable the first and second barges to move relative to one another, and a second coupling mechanism is coupled between the second and third barges to enable the second and third barges to move relative to one another. | 04-02-2009 |
20090194009 | BUMPER ASSEMBLIES FOR MODULAR BARGES AND METHODS THEREFOR - A system for protecting a modular barge, which includes a plurality of modular barge sections assembled together using male and female connections, is provided. Each modular barge section has a top surface, a bottom surface, a side wall extending between the top and bottom surfaces, and at least one male connector projecting from the side wall. Some of the male connectors are exposed at an outer peripheral of the barge. A bumper is coupled with the at least one exposed male connector. The bumper extends between the top and bottom surfaces of the modular barge section to which it is attached. | 08-06-2009 |
20100012007 | CARGO SKIFF - A boat including a having a first side, a second side, a bottom coupled to the first side and the second side. Each of the first and second sides and bottom can include a plurality of hollow beams welded along seams to form a double hulled boat. | 01-21-2010 |
20100186647 | APPARATUS FOR REMOVAL OF OIL FROM ICE - An apparatus for removing oil from sea ice comprises modular crusher units which may be pivotally mounted on a barge or other vessel. A rotating, toothed drum crushes the ice against a grating and mixes it with warmed, recycled water to form an ice/water slurry which is conveyed by means of an auger to one or more melting units. The liquid phase output of the melting units is first conveyed to a surge tank and then to a separator unit which separates the oil from the water. The oil is conveyed to a storage tank for subsequent offloading and disposal and the water is returned in a recycle line to sprayers mounted in the crusher unit(s) for deicing the intake section of the crusher and mixing with the crushed sea ice to form an ice/water slurry for subsequent, on-board treatment. The modular design of the apparatus permits a plurality of units to be mounted on a vessel in a side-by-side array such that substantially the entire beam of the vessel at the stern (or bow) may be covered and used for ice intake. | 07-29-2010 |
20100218710 | Device and Method of Connecting an Electric Power Line Between a Ship and a Terminal - The invention relates to a ship that is to be coupled electrically to a terminal, and also to a method and a method and a device for connecting an electrical power line ( | 09-02-2010 |
20120000407 | DEVICE FOR TRANSPORTING AND PLACING A BRIDGE OF AN OFFSHORE OIL RIG FOR SEA OPERATION ONTO A FLOATING OR STATIONARY STRUCTURE - A device for transporting and placing a bridge ( | 01-05-2012 |
20130087087 | MOBILE FLOATING DECK BARGE WITH CONTAINMENT AND WASTE WATER RECYCLING SYSTEM - A mobile floating deck barge system is provided for use in performing work on the underside of a bridge or other structure extending over a body of water. | 04-11-2013 |
20150013584 | Floating Vessel for Servicing Air Diffusers - A catamaran type vessel for use in a wastewater facility for servicing submerged air diffusers is disclosed. The vessel has spaced apart pontoon having an A-frame spanning between the upper decks of the pontoon and connecting the pontoons. A hook connected to a winch is secured to a cross header above the space between the pontoons. The hook is lowered into water and lifts an air header, to which the air diffusers are connected. An air diffuser is then pulled on the pontoons and serviced. The vessel is then propelled to a position to service other air diffusers in the pontoon. | 01-15-2015 |

20090293788 | Trailing Hose System for Aquatic Ecosystem Liquid and Granular Materials Application - A trailing hose system is disclosed for the application of materials (liquid or granular pesticides, nutrient inactivation, water quality improvement compounds) in a water body. The trailing hose or hoses release the material (liquid or granular pesticides, nutrient inactivation, water quality improvement compounds) at the desired depth within the water column. The current technology for the subsurface application of these materials is surface injection, granular spreaders, and the use of weighted hoses deployed from a vessel (boat). Surface injection of these materials below the thermocline, or to the bottom of a water body in sufficient concentrations to control the target pest, to deactivate nutrients, and or enhance water quality is required in the industry. The current technology that utilizes the use of weighted hose is cumbersome, and is a slow process that allows for the application of these materials at approximately 1-2 miles per hour. | 12-03-2009 |
