Abstract: A subsea garage (36) for a UUV comprises a body (12) having a receptacle for the UUV, an open top providing a transit path for the UUV into and out of the receptacle and a base opposed to the open top, the base being arranged to lie on the seabed. At least one post (22) is movable, subsea, relative to the body into a deployed position extending upwardly from the body above the open top. A lid (16) may also be movable relative to the body between a closed position that closes the open top and an open position that allows the UUV to move along the transit path through the open top. A fixed post may extend upwardly from the body above the open top, in which case the lid may enclose the post when in the closed position and expose the post when in the open position.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a garment having a cup portion with two cups, a body portion integrated with the cup portion, and a band are disposed on the garment such that is extends beneath the cup portions. The band is either on the body portion or adjacent the body portion. The garment also has support structures with a configuration, each following proximately a contour of the lower part of its respective cup, wherein a portion of the support structure is formed on and fixed to the band and a portion of the support structure extends on the body of the garment and is attached thereto. As such the support structure configuration is approximately arcuate. The garment also has additional control regions. The control is provided by fabric or materials that have less stretch than the body fabric from which the body of the garment is made.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating a plurality of airspeed parameters of an aircraft is disclosed. The system comprises one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory storing data comprises a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to receive a plurality of operating parameters that each represent an operating condition of the aircraft. The system is further caused to determine a stability-axis drag coefficient based on the plurality of operating parameters. The stability-axis drag coefficient quantifies a stability-axis drag of the aircraft created during high speed conditions. The system is caused to determine a body-axis lift coefficient based on the plurality of operating parameters, which corresponds to a lift of the aircraft created along a vertical body-axis. The system is also caused to determine a dynamic pressure, which is used to estimate the airspeed parameters.

Abstract: A method provides power to a subsea equipment electrical system underwater, without a wet-mated electrical connection. The method includes temporarily coupling a rotary coupling element of a power source to the subsea equipment and turning that element to generate electric power on board the equipment. Subsea equipment that implements the method comprises: an on-board electric power generator connected to an electrical load such as a rechargeable battery to charge the battery when the generator is driven; and a rotary coupling element that is turned by an external drive to drive the generator. Alternative subsea equipment to implement the method comprises: a stator, but not a rotor, of an on-board electric power generator, which supplies current to the load when an externally-driven rotor is positioned adjacent to the stator and turned relative to the stator. A power source having a generator rotor is docked with the equipment for this purpose.

Abstract: A method of hosting an autonomous underwater vehicle (“AUV”) at a subsea location lowers at least one AUV basket to a subsea location adjacent at least one preinstalled subsea structure. The subsea structure has provision for electrical power to be provided to it. At the subsea location, the, or each, basket is connected to the, or each, subsea structure to receive electrical power from the subsea structure. Electrical power routed via the subsea structure may be used to charge batteries of an AUV docked with the basket. Provision may also be made to effect data communications with the AUV with data being communicated between the subsea structure and the basket.

Abstract: An aircraft stall protection system and method include calculating a first angle of attack and a second angle of attack based on aircraft configuration and environmental conditions, the first angle of attack being greater than the second angle of attack. The system and method limit the actual aircraft angle of attack to the first angle of attack for a predetermined period of time and thereafter the system and method limit the actual aircraft angle of attack to the second angle of attack. The system and method allow the aircraft operator or pilot to extract maximum performance from the aircraft for any given set of flight conditions, without the risk of stalling or remaining in a high drag state for a prolonged period of time. This system and method are suitable for use in conjunction with a stall warning system.
