Abstract: The ballast tank (65) is a cylindrical pressure chamber (86) with an end cap (81) that has a central opening for receiving and connecting to the venting input (67) from the pump system (66) and the venting path (68) to the outlet (70) that vents with the outside environment to the submersible. The ballast tank includes a rubber bladder (85) within the solid pressure chamber (86) that is fed by a manifold (83) leading from the end cap (81) opening and feeds through spaced holes into the bladder at spaced distances. This ensures a constant pressure buildup or release of the whole bladder rather than distorted expansion or reduction. Generally, pumps are notorious for being strong in one direction but not in the other. Further there is substantial weight and size limitation in submersibles of the size of less than 5 meters. A novel solution to this problem is to use a one-way pump with a switching valve system.

Abstract: An underwater probe (11) comprises a submersible body having an elongated body with a hydrodynamic effective shape for travel in at least one longitudinal direction. There is a power system including two longitudinal side thrusters (21) for allowing the controllable driving of the submersible body in the at least one longitudinal direction and a top thruster (22) for allowing maneuvering in a lateral plane to the longitudinal axis E-E. Also, there is a visual image capture system including a plurality of optical cameras (31, 35) locatable on or at the surface of the elongated body. The probe is modular and has readily connectable and disconnectable modules that can be reconfigured to readily form differing volume and different payload ballast remotely controllable adjustable buoyant probes.

Abstract: Described are a forced-air drying cabinet, system, and computer program product for drying endoscopes. The system includes a forced-air drying cabinet and a local control device associated with the cabinet. The cabinet includes an inner area accessible by a door, a signal receiving device, and a drying manifold including a compressor. The cabinet also includes an airflow output connected to the drying manifold, a support arrangement, and a visual indicator. The control device is configured to receive a signal from a signal emitting member associated with an endoscope, determine a drying protocol for the endoscope based on the signal, and identify the support arrangement to support the endoscope based on the drying protocol. The control device is also configured to control the visual indicator associated with the support arrangement, and initiate a drying process by causing the compressor to create an airflow from the airflow output through the endoscope.

Abstract: An illustrative energy storage system includes an energy storage device, a processor coupled to the energy storage device, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory is configured to store instructions adapted for execution by the processor to control and monitor operation of the energy storage device. The instructions are arranged into functional modules. Each functional module is associated with a memory cache in the memory. Control processes depending on the functional module read last known values from the associated memory cache. Reading last known values from the associated memory enables changes to the functional modules without shutting down the energy storage device.
