  • Systems and associated methods for producing a 3D sonar image
    Patent number: 9784832
    Abstract: Provided are a sonar system and transducer assembly for producing a 3D image of an underwater environment. The sonar system may include a housing having a transmit transducer that may transmit sonar pulses into the water. The system may include at least one sidescan transducer array in the housing that receives first and second sonar returns with first and second transducer elements and converts the first and second returns into first and second sonar return data. The first sidescan element may also transmit second sonar pulses, and at least one of the sidescan elements may receive the second sonar pulses to generate sidescan sonar return data. A sonar signal processor may then generate a 3D mesh data and sidescan image data and generate a 3D image data based on the 3D mesh data and sidescan image data. An associated method of using the sonar system is also provided.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A SEARCH-BASED EMAIL CLIENT
    Publication number: 20160301635
    Abstract: A search-based email client may incorporate a number of useful features. A search function can default to a search of all email contexts, thereby eliminating user cogitation over which context an email message may be stored in. Furthermore, the search function can automatically search for related personal content and/or related information on the internet or other computer network, and present this useful information to the user in addition to the returned emails. The search function can be integrated into a user interface to allow for one-click searches on any likely search field. The search function can search the body of email messages by default, thereby widening the scope of default searches and eliminating potentially missed information and user need to proactively widen their search. A search function can search attachments, which also provides a wider search scope.

  • SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR UPDATING STORED 3D SONAR DATA
    Publication number: 20160259050
    Abstract: Provided are a method, apparatus, and computer program product for updating stored 3D mesh data from live 3D mesh data. The method may include processing, by a sonar signal processor, first sonar return data and second sonar return data from first and second transducer elements of at least one transducer array to generate live 3D mesh data. The method may include determining a position associated with the live 3D mesh data that corresponds to the position of the watercraft when the first sonar return data and the second sonar return data was received, and may include updating a stored 3D mesh data with at least a portion of the live 3D mesh data based on the position.
