MISCELLANEOUS | 5 |
| 20090038530 | Watercraft drogue system - A watercraft drogue system including a line deployable in the water to be intercepted by the lower unit of the watercraft's engine, at least a first drogue on one end of the line, a length of stretchable line adjacent the drogue, and at least a first length of slack line secured by a frangible tie. The frangible tie of the watercraft drogue system is designed to break when the drogue is deployed. The length of stretchable line of the drogue system expands in length in order to reduce the tension in the line to prevent kick up of the lower unit of the watercraft's engine and thus arrest the watercraft. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100083893 | Method for making a submersible surface with antifouling protection - A method for manufacturing a submerged surface, such as the hull of a marine vessel or a submerged grate or conduit, uses particles that are electrically conductive and disposes those particles on the exposed surface. The particles are held in, place by an electrically conductive composite material, such as a conductive gel coat, and a charge distribution layer is used to spread the current through all parts of the conductive outer surface. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100101477 | System and Method for High Current Recovery Cursor - A high current cursor comprises a outer frame in which a center carriage travels. The center carriage travels between the top and bottom of the outer frame. Movement of the center carriage is limited within the outer frame constraints and its own locking mechanism. Center carriage carries a bend restrictor for an umbilical or lift line. When the center carriage travels down to a predetermined position within the high current cursor, equipment is allowed to exit the high current cursor or is retrieved back into the high current cursor when the bend restrictor reaches a predetermined position within the outer frame, e.g. at its lowest point, allowing dispersal and/or retrieval without obstruction back to a fixed recovery point. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100300346 | Watercraft Immobilizing System - A sub-surface watercraft immobilizing system and method which may be deployed from any vessel to provide primary passive defense against one or more attacking watercraft(s), fitted with marine engine(s). The system is designed to provide practical all round coverage and consists of a sub-surface towed array/entanglement system of wires and/or spectra/nylon lines weighted for neutral buoyancy, deployed from removable/replaceable cartridges that may be disposable or refurbished. The towed array/entanglement system uses outriggers, weighted submersible rollers and spreaders. A system of secondary and possibly tertiary tentacles is deployed from the primary lines just below the water surface to foul and immobilize propellers and engine cooling water intakes. This is a non-lethal system designed to render one or more detected, or undetected, attacking watercraft inoperative or ineffective. | 12-02-2010 |

Conveyor support stringers are movably connected to the sliding door and conveyor idlers are movably connected to and the conveyor support stringers. A linear actuator associated with the door frame assembly selectively actuates the door between an open and closed position, whereby actuation of the door by the hydraulic cylinder causes the conveyor support stringers to move with the door, and the conveyor idlers to be lowered without removal thereof. Belt side plugs are positioned on either side of the door frame assembly, and can move both inwardly against a conveyor belt edge and outwardly from the conveyor belt edge. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20130025520 | DOOR FRAME SEALS - A watertight door system for a marine vessel comprises a door and a door frame having a threshold. A circumferential seal is around an opening of the door frame closed by the door. The seal is formed between seal components of the door and seal components of the door frame. The frame is adapted for connection to the bulkhead and comprises two sides, a top member and a floor trough. Means are provided to press the door against the frame when the door is in a closed position. The trough has a floor plate substantially flush with a top edge of the trough, which floor plate is adapted to form a floor panel of the floor of the vessel, with said trough received in an aperture of the floor. The trough has a lid to close the trough, at least when the door is in an open position, so that the floor is rendered substantially level through the door aperture. The seal may extend along the lid (in the case of a pivoting door) or in the trough, in the case of a sliding door. | 01-31-2013 |
| 20140331907 | MARINE AFT BULKHEAD AND WINDOW SYSTEM - A marine aft bulkhead and window system in a fully framed assembly includes a port side glass assembly that is fully retractable below a lowest edge of a window opening, a starboard side glass assembly that is fully retractable below the lowest edge of the window opening, a door glass assembly that is fully retractable below the lowest edge of a door opening, and a door assembly that is fully retractable to port or starboard horizontally. | 11-13-2014 |
| 20130220196 | Shaft Seal Arrangement for a Ship Bulkhead - A seal arrangement for sealing around a rotating shaft that passes through a ship bulkhead includes an expandible and contractible seal ring made of several seal ring segments, and radial actuators that engage the seal ring segments and can be power-activated, e.g. with a pressure medium, to pull the seal ring segments radially outwardly, thereby expanding the seal ring to a larger diameter spaced away from the shaft. When the radial actuators are not activated, the biasing force of springs contracts the seal ring segments to a smaller diameter, to establish sealing contact of the seal ring on the shaft. In normal operation a control unit activates the actuators, but if sensors detect a power failure or water in the ship, or a manual switching is triggered, then the seal arrangement contracts under spring force into the sealing condition with the seal rings sealing against the shaft. | 08-29-2013 |
