| 20110155039 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEPLOYING AND RETRIEVING A WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER - A system for deploying a wave energy converter including a submersible structure having a buoyancy chamber sufficiently large that when filled with gas it enables the submersible structure to float. The wave energy converter is transported to a site on the submersible structure and launched by releasing the gas from the buoyancy chamber. The system also includes three tethers operatively coupled to the submersible structure for tethering the wave energy converter to the submersible structure; and a docking station provided in connection with the submersible structure for mechanically coupling the wave energy converter to the submersible structure during transportation. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110174210 | SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO CONTROL AND POWER A VEHICLE OR VESSEL - A system configured to power a vehicle or vessel. The system may include an enhanced power control system. The enhanced power control system having a distributed architecture such that power conversion and/or management is provided for individual energy supplies and/or system loads. The distributed architecture of the power control system may enhance the power efficiency of the vehicle or vessel. The distributed architecture of the power control system may enable a plurality of different energy supplies and/or system loads to be incorporated into the power system in a selectable, configurable manner. This may facilitate the addition and/or subtraction of energy supplies and/or system loads from the system to customize the vehicle or vessel for a specific use and/or mission without having to reconfigure the power control system as a whole. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20100212573 | REMOTELY OPERATED UNDERWATER VEHICLE - A system for communicating with a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) includes an ROV coupled to a surface buoy by a tether. A controller is coupled to a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver is attached to the surface buoy. Control signals are transmitted from the controller through the first wireless transceiver the second wireless transceiver on the surface buoy. The control signals are then transmitted through the tether to the ROV. Feedback and sensor signals are transmitted from the ROV through the wireless transceivers to the controller. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100212574 | REMOTELY OPERATED UNDERWATER VEHICLE - A system for communicating with a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) includes a winged ROV coupled to a surface buoy by a tether. A controller on a support ship is coupled to the tether and the control signals are then transmitted through the tether to the ROV. Feedback and sensor signals are transmitted from the ROV through the wireless transceivers to the controller. The wings of the ROV produce negative lift which is greater than the buoyant force of the ROV and the vertical tension forces on the tether. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20110162573 | TOWED ANTENNA SYSTEM AND METHOD - A towable antenna system is deployable and retrievable from and tetherable to an underwater vehicle while the underwater vehicle is submerged under water. An underwater vehicle having a towable antenna system is capable of communicating with one or more remote communication systems, the towable antenna system acting as an intermediary for communications between a submerged underwater vehicle and the one or more remote communication systems. | 07-07-2011 |
