  • Patent number: 10692352
    Abstract: A buoy corrosion detection system includes a buoy having a double hull section in which the outer hull is designed to corrode and fail prior to the rest of the hull. The double hull section is positioned at the waterline, which is the area most prone to corrosion. As the outer hull corrodes, water passes through the hull and is detected by a moisture detector. The moisture detector then relays a signal that water has entered through the hull, and a signaling circuit then sends a communication signal to the user indicating that the buoy has corrosion. The buoy corrosion detection system leads to an “as-needed” maintenance cycle for buoys.

  • Publication number: 20160202072
    Abstract: An electronic device for outputting a location reference using an attribute value which is assigned to a location to be referenced is provided, wherein the device comprises a memory, a processor system and a data transmission unit. The memory serves for storing and providing a list with attribute values for location referencing, the list consisting of a subset of all attribute values depending on a frequency of the individual attribute values. The processor system is adapted to receive an indication of a location, to determine at least one attribute value which is suitable for location referencing of the location, and for reading out, from the memory, an index value which is assigned to the determined attribute value in the list. The data transmission unit serves for outputting the read-out index value to a further device.
