Abstract: An aquaculture system can include an aquafarm with one or more aquatic pods of aquatic organisms and a remote device to manage the aquafarm. An aquatic pod may be associated with an aquatic structure with a buoyancy system and a control device to automatically perform daily farming functions. The aquatic structure may include an enclosure to hold the aquatic organisms. The control device may be configured to use a smart buoyancy assistant to control the buoyancy system and to determine the farming task to perform in response to environmental stimuli. The remote device can receive data representing crop metrics, harvest results, and sensor data. The remote device can aggregate data from multiple aquatic pods and correlate the data to generate aquaculture models to improve the harvest results. The remote device can generate overview and maintenance reports for the aquafarm.

Abstract: Aquatic structures with adjustable buoyancy constructed in part with a vent valve for a buoyancy control device suitable for divers, where the vent valve may be opened by any combination of over-pressure, manual pressure relief or a powered means, where a force to a valve plug is applied by means of a spring that is constrained to prevent entirely lateral and angular movement but in which movement of the plug in the axis of the seat is unconstrained.

Abstract: A diving system can include a smart buoyancy assistant to automatically adjusts the amount of air in the buoyancy control device (BCD) to maintain buoyancy control during the descent, level hold, or ascent of a dive. In some instances, the smart buoyancy assistant is automatically activated when the system is submerged to a predetermined activation depth. Additionally, the smart buoyancy assistant can add air to the BCD if the system drops below a predetermined maximum depth. The system can capture data representing dive metrics and sensor data and can report such data to a computing device to further aggregate the data and generate dive models to improve the performance of the system. The computing device can use the aggregated data to perform dive analysis and determine if the system is over or under adjusting the amount of air to improve the dive models.
