| 181 | SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR ENERGY EXTRACTING VESSEL NAVIGATION | US12758733 | 2010-04-12 | US20100198429A1 | 2010-08-05 | Andrew Roman Gizara; Michael Dominic Cicali |
| A Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system guides navigation of a vessel enabled to extract energy from wind and/or water currents primarily in offshore marine environments. An exemplary SCADA system could embody server and client software applications running on microprocessor systems at a remote control central service logging and energy distribution facility, and the vessel itself. The remote control service facility runs Human Machine Interface (HMI) software in the form of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) allowing choices to maximize system performance. The central server accesses information to control vessel position based on transmitted Global Position Satellite (GPS) data from the vessel, and weather information from the Geographic Information System (GIS) provided by multiple spatial temporal data sources. A server-side optimization algorithm fed the parameters delivered from vessel aerodynamic/hydrodynamic performance simulation software models, the vessel onboard sensor data, and integrated real-time weather and environmental data determines an optimal navigation through weather systems and presents choices to the HMI. | ||||||
| 182 | System And Method For Optimizing A Path For A Marine Vessel Through A Waterway | US12345073 | 2008-12-29 | US20100168942A1 | 2010-07-01 | Joseph Forrest Noffsinger; Paul Kenneth Houpt |
| A system is provided for optimizing a path for a marine vessel through a waterway from an initial location to a final location. The system includes a propulsion system and a directional system on the marine vessel, which impart a selective propulsion force on the marine vessel at a selective direction based on a received propulsion command and direction command from a processor. The processor determines an optimal path for the marine vessel, an optimal propulsion command and optimal directional command at a respective incremental location along the optimal path, so to optimize a performance characteristic of the marine vessel. The determination of the optimal path, the optimal propulsion command and the optimal directional command is based on the initial location, the final location, at least one operating parameter, the performance characteristic, and navigational data of the waterway. | ||||||

The zone of concern data, which may he continually changing, may be sent from the service provider to the vessel on a continuous basis with respect to the changing location and heading of the vessel. | ||||||
| 184 | Unmanned vehicle control system | US10911765 | 2004-07-30 | US07613553B1 | 2009-11-03 | Michael R. Benjamin |
| A method for autonomously controlling a vehicle includes establishing decision variables for maneuvering the vehicle. Behavior functions are established for behaviors of the vehicle as a function of at least one of the established decision variables. These behavior function give a score which may be weighted, indicating the desirability of engaging in the associated behavior. A summation of the weighted behavior functions can be solved while the vehicle is operating to determine the values of the decision variables giving the highest summation of scores. In a preferred method, an optimal structure for the behavior functions and summation solution is taught. The method then guides the vehicle in accordance with the determined decision variable values. | ||||||

| 187 | Positioning and recording information system with multi-hopping means for rescue on the sea | US11562534 | 2006-11-22 | US20080117082A1 | 2008-05-22 | Hsin-Chi SU |
| A positioning and recording information system with multi-hopping means for rescue on the sea. At least two stations are utilized to transmit navigation information to one another in the form of data packets. The data packets are received and temporarily stored in the stations. The steps of transmitting, receiving and storing are repeated to form a network topology which records a moving track of a station set on a ship. As the ship meets with misfortune on the ocean, the latest data packet transmitted by the ship facilitates positioning so that the disastrous position is identified. Consequently, the rescue can be started immediately and the efficiency is improved as compared with traditional ways. | ||||||

| 193 | Method and system for marine vessel tracking system | US10696110 | 2003-10-29 | US20040193367A1 | 2004-09-30 | James Douglas Cline |
| A marine ship tracking system automatically and accurately monitors ship movements utilizing a limited number of reports from a marine ship and is easily installed and operated. Ships utilizing the marine ship tracking system periodically transmit reports to a remote tracking center. A ship sends a report to the remote tracking center when there is a significant change in the ship's movement or position, or if a predetermined amount of time has elapsed since the ship last sent a report to the remote tracking center. The report includes current ship information, such as current position and current movement information. Because the ship sends a report each time a significant change in movement occurs, the remote tracking center may accurately extrapolate the position of the ship between the transmissions of the reports. In this manner, the remote tracking center may retain an accurate history of the ship's position and movements at all times. | ||||||
