Abstract: A submergible wave energy converter and method for using the same are described. In one embodiment, the wave energy converter may be used for deep water operations. In one embodiment, the submergible wave energy converter is an autonomous unmanned vehicle that enables remote ocean power generation. In one embodiment, the wave energy converter apparatus comprises an absorber having a body with an upper surface and a bottom surface and at least one power take-off (PTO) unit coupled to the absorber and configured to displace movement of the absorber body relative to a reference, where the power take-off unit is operable to perform motion energy conversion based on displacement of the absorber body relative to the reference in response to wave excitation, and where the power take-off unit is operable to return the absorber body from a displaced position to a predefined equilibrium position and to provide a force acting on the absorber body for energy extraction.

Abstract: A method for removing soluble ferrous iron from a galvanizing flux solution includes circulating the flux solution through a concentration loop and injecting ozone into the concentration loop, wherein the ozone mixes with the flux solution and reacts with soluble ferrous iron to form insoluble ferric iron in the loop. Flux solution that is substantially free of insoluble ferric iron may be removed from the concentration loop through a filter medium such as a cross-flow microfilter, thereby concentrating the ferric iron in the concentration loop. The ozone may be injected through an eductor that utilizes motive force from a circulation pump, thereby reducing energy consumption and providing rapid mixing and reaction of ozone and ferrous iron.

Abstract: A submerged wave energy conversion apparatus and pressurized fluid or electricity production system are provided that harvests energy from a motive force derived from pressure differentials created by the interaction of the system with ocean water. The system is capable of capturing energy from up to six different modes of motion of the absorber body in response to the energy of incident waves. The apparatus has an absorber body that is attached to one or more damping mechanisms like a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic circuit that can create useful mechanical torque, a restoring mechanism such as an air spring to restore the absorber system to stable equilibrium, and a buoyant artificial floor to create an opposing reaction force. The apparatus may also have a controller for system monitoring and control, to maintain optimized energy extraction, and for load management to avoid damaging loads.

Abstract: A managed object implements an interface that includes information regarding events that can occur during operation of the managed object and other resources and managed objects. A manager can subscribe to receive a notification when one or more of the events occur in a pull mode where the notifications are sent only when requested by the manager. The manager can also subscribe to receive notification of the events in a push mode where the managed objects send the notifications to the manager when the events occur.
