| 20080223279 | Pontoon Crawler Track Assembly - A pontoon crawler track assembly intended to be used as a crawler-track-driven undercarriage in a working machine. The assembly includes a mounting frame and pontoon members. The mounting frame includes a coupler to couple the pontoon crawler track assembly with the working machine and a fastener for attachment of box-structured, hollow pontoon members at the sides of the mounting frame. Each pontoon member includes a crawler track arrangement, which is arranged moveable by way of an internal power transmission arrangement. The breadth of the pontoon crawler track assembly is adjustable. Actuators adjust a breadth of the assembly in a way that a working machine equipped with the pontoon crawler track assembly may be brought, by changing the distance between its pontoon members with the actuators, operating by auxiliary power, first into a narrowed position particularly and on the other hand into a broadened position. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20100282157 | FLOATATION COLLAR FOR AN UNDERSEA ACOUSTIC RECEIVER AND A METHOD OF POSITIONING THE SAME - A floatation collar for a sensor forming part of a detection array comprises two halves that when joined together act as a protective casing that secures and orients a sensor in the optimal configuration, thus forming a positioning system for said sensor. The casing provides protection, buoyancy, and trawl-resistance and comprises a shell filled with syntactic foam with voids for improved sonar reflectance. The collar top portion includes a series of projections strategically placed to protecting the sensor's transducers against mechanical damage. These are positioned in such a manner as to minimize the degree to which the sensors are occluded, and the case's collar is shaped so as to not occlude any of the downward “field of view” that is not already occluded by the air-filled pressure casing for the instrument. Air-filled voids positioned against the interior of the flat faces providing a bright reflected sonar signal when a unit is being searched for either using a sonar located on a surface vessel or on a ROV positioned either lateral to or below the positioning system. The base of the system is conical with an integral thimble to allow the positioning system to ride down and then emerge under a passing trawl net or other fishing lines or cables by presenting a smooth aspect and a secure means of tethering said unit to a bottom anchor. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20110271893 | WEB FRAME - A marine structure comprises a supporting member adapted to be located at least partially immersed in water. The supporting member comprises a wall at least partially delimiting the supporting member such that an inner side of the wall at least partially delimits an inner hollow volume of the supporting member and an outer side of the wall is adapted to be in contact with the ambient environment of the supporting member. The supporting member further comprises a stiffening web frame attached to the wall in order to modify the structural capacity of the supporting member, which stiffening web frame comprises a rib and a flang. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20120073488 | Float structure mainframe - A mainframe for a float structure is described. The mainframe is detachably connectable to the dorsal surface of the float structure inflatables and comprises: a plurality of segmented and connectable cross-structure support members transversely attached to a plurality of segmented and connected longitudinal connector members via a connector member. Each of the longitudinal members and crossmembers may be made up of a plurality of detachable sections. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120090525 | SUCTION STABILIZED FLOATS - Floats having a buoyant portion and a chamber portion hold liquid within their chambers above the interface of the surrounding body of liquid and gas which creates a downward force which stabilizes the float. If the liquid is water, the float holds water in the inner chamber which is disposed above the waterline of the body of water in which the float is suspended. The elevated water exerts a downward force that acts against rocking, swaying, and other destabilizing forces. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20130019792 | Floating Foundation for Mass Production - A floating structure has an annular support as an underwater support with a buoyant body. A tower penetrates the annular support centrally and is connected to the annular support at a location underneath the annular support by slantedly outwardly ascending tension spokes and at a location above the annular support by slantedly outwardly descending tension spokes. Anchors on the ocean floor are connected by tension elements with the annular support. The structure is built by the steps of supporting by auxiliary devices the annular support on a floor of a basin that can be flooded; positioning the tower at the center of the annular support in vertical position; attaching the tension spokes at the annular support and at the tower; flooding the basin; towing the structure to its desired final position; and lowering and anchoring the structure in a submerged floating position. | 01-24-2013 |

The second buoy has a tow winch and cable attached to a second end opposite the first end, for moving the panels from the retracted position to the expanded position. The first buoy comprises a catenary winch and cable movably engagable with the panels and attached to the second buoy. When the panels are in the retracted position, the catenary winch sets a length or tension of the catenary cable such that it absorbs catenary loads on the barrier when the panels are moved to the expanded position by the tow winch. | 12-17-2015 |
