20110083600	Payload Stowage Unit - A stowage unit for a payload such as a weapon, countermeasure or unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), and a method for using the unit to deploy the payload are described. The unit comprises an inner tube for holding the payload, wherein the inner tube is mounted in an outer vessel and so defines a volume between the outer vessel and inner tube. The volume has a first sealing element, which can be used to open or seal the volume at one end, and a valve enabling fluid communication between the volume and inner tube. After deployment of the payload, a weight of fluid equivalent to the deployed payload can be allowed to enter the volume from the inner tube, thus enabling the weight of the unit to remain substantially unaltered from before deployment to after deployment.	04-14-2011

20150160330	LOCATION SYSTEM USING ULTRASOUND - A transmitter device transmits an ultrasonic signal encoding a binary identifier. Each bit position in the identifier is associated with a pair of frequencies and with first and second time positions in the signal. The bit value determines which of the pair of frequencies is transmitted at the first time position, with the other being transmitted at the second time position. A receiver device receives the signal. Each bit position of the identifier is decoded based on the strength of the received signal at (a) the first frequency and first time position associated with the particular bit position, (b) the associated first frequency and second time position, (c) the associated second frequency and first time position, and (d) the associated second frequency and second time position. The decoded identifier is used to determine information relating to the position of a mobile one of the devices.	06-11-2015
