Publication number: 20240354723Abstract: Systems for helping a user manage external party-activity software objects by using machine-readable indicia. In one embodiment, an exemplary computer-implemented method may comprise receiving a first request to link a digital profile of the application end user associated with the entity with a third-party entity. In response to receiving the first request, the second request is sent to a second server associated with the third-party entity, and a third request is received from the application end user for accessing at least one user-related external party-activity software object via the first server by using machine-readable indicia.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: John Crowson, Rocky Gray, Margaret Crouse, Asawari Kanitkar

Patent number: 12077935Abstract: Systems and methods include a wing tool configured to be operable from work vessel(s), the wing tool including thrusters capable of fluidizing sediments from a first seabed location and moving it to a second seabed location, the second seabed location including a trench or differently shaped collection sump previously made by the wing tool and/or an extraction pump. The extraction pump operates from a second work vessel having sufficient capacity to pump fluidized sediments from the trench. Certain systems include a separation unit that separates sand from silts and clays and water from collected sediment. Systems and methods for reclamation of reservoirs, moving sand waves, for pre-trenching and/or recovering marine pipelines and cables, for removing cover from marine archaeological sites and for disposing of contaminated bottom materials in an environmentally acceptable manner.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: WING MARINE LLCInventors: John Crowson, Mel Friedman, Douglas W.
