Tethered Tow Body, Communications Apparatus And System

View page
US Patent:
8104420, Jan 31, 2012
Filed:
Jul 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/505194
Inventors:
James Wiggins - Thurmont MD, US
Walter Allensworth - Poolesville MD, US
Kevin Kieffer - Germantown MD, US
Peter Owen - Monrovia MD, US
Conrad Zeglin - Rockville MD, US
Assignee:
Adaptive Methods, Inc. - Centreville VA
International Classification:
B63B 21/56
US Classification:
114253
Abstract:
The problem of providing a submerged vehicle with above-the-surface communications to a nearby vessel, shore platform, or satellite while traveling at operating speed is solved by an efficiently deployable tethered tow body having a hydrodynamic and buoyant hull body and incorporating a lift-generating wing that provides hydrodynamic lift to efficiently lift the tow body containing antennas and other communications devices to the surface. The tow body allows for stable operation during underwater tow, surface tow, and transitions between underwater tow and surface tow. Disclosed embodiments include communications apparatuses encompassing the principles of the tethered tow body, as well as various underwater systems that incorporate a tethered tow body or communications apparatus for establishing communications with a nearby vessel, shore platform, or satellite.

US Patent:
8443750, May 21, 2013
Filed:
Dec 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/339455
Inventors:
James Wiggins - Thurmont MD, US
Walter Allensworth - Poolesville MD, US

Multi-Line Towed Acoustic Array Shape Measurement Unit

View page
US Patent:
20050058022, Mar 17, 2005
Filed:
Apr 29, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/425580
Inventors:
David Kitchin - Laurel MD, US
Walter Allensworth - Poolesville MD, US
International Classification:
G01S003/80
US Classification:
367130000
Abstract:
An acoustic array comprising a plurality of nodes attached to two or more lines. Some or all of the nodes include an emitting transducer and a receiving hydrophone, and the balance include only a receiving hydrophone. Each emitting transducer has associated electronics comprising a high fidelity amplifier and a stored waveform input to the operational amplifier to drive the amplifier, the output of the amplifier exciting the transducer to emit a chirp having a hyperbolic frequency modulated (HMM) waveform. The frequency spectrum of the HEM chirp lies well below the resonant frequency of the transducer. The chirp emitted by a transducer in the node is received and processed by hydrophones in other nodes with a high fidelity representation of the chirp in a cross-correlation operation. Detected chirps are used to determine a range between the emitting and receiving nodes and a shape measurement of the array.

Linear Cutting Assembly, Linear Cutting System, And Net Penetrating Method

US Patent:
20120210836, Aug 23, 2012
Filed:
Feb 23, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/403491
Inventors:
James Wiggins - Thurmont MD, US
Walter Allensworth - Poolesville MD, US
Conrad Zeglin - Rockville MD, US
Chris Norkoski - Baltimore MD, US
International Classification:
B63G 8/00
B26D 1/30
B26D 5/00
B26D 1/11
US Classification:
83 13, 114312, 83759, 114221 A
Abstract:
The problem of penetrating through nets and other objects is solved by cutting the object using a linear cutting assembly having a linear cutter arm that moves in an arc and pivots about an attachment point. The object is cut by a severing action caused by a moveable blade of the linear cutting arm moving back and forth across a stationary blade of the linear cutter arm. An underwater vehicle modified to incorporate an embodiment of the linear cutting assembly can cut a sufficiently large opening in the object to allow the vehicle to pass through.
