Patent number: 10408933Abstract: A sonar imaging system, that includes a control head with a user interface and a display unit for displaying a sonar-generated image, is provided. A sonar transducer assembly is coupled to the control head and configured to transmit sonar data to the control head. The sonar data is used to generate the sonar-generated image. The sonar transducer assembly includes a first side scan acoustic sonar element that transmits a sonar beam. The sonar transducer assembly further includes a plurality of sonar beam receiving elements. Each receiving element is arranged to receive a portion of the return beam from the first side scan acoustic sonar element. Each of the plurality of sonar beam receiving elements is configured to identify both a depth and a lateral distance of an underwater object relative to the position of the sonar transducer assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Johnson Outdoors Inc.Inventors: Sean M.

Patent number: 10127332Abstract: A computer-implemented method automates motion of a computer-aided design (CAD) model. The CAD model represents a real-world object comprised of a number of parts. The part containing a user-specified entity is analyzed to collect data relevant to a motion study, for example, size data, location data, and material type data are collected. Based on the user-specified entity, parameters for automating motion are inferred and used to automate motion. The parameters include at least one of a part that is moved directly by a motor, a location on the part where the motor is mounted, a motor type, an axis of motion of the part, and a motion function indicating a change of motion over time.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Dassault Systemes SolidWorks CorporationInventors: Mark Gibson, Shrikant Vitthal Savant, Kyeong Hwi Lee

Patent number: 10055514Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-readable medium is configured to store instructions for creating a model in a three-dimensional (3D) environment, where the model represents a real-world object. The instructions, when loaded and executed by a processor, causes the processor to, given a two-dimensional (2D) sketch comprised of sketch entities, automatically create one or more 3D part in the 3D environment corresponding to respective groupings of sketch entities. The instructions further cause the processor to create a derived layout sketch in the 3D environment associated with a first 3D part, where the derived layout sketch is a reference to or a copy of the 2D sketch, and automatically create a relationship between the first 3D part and a second 3D part where the relationship is based on a constraint between corresponding respective groupings of sketch entities.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: DASSAULT SYSTEMES SOLIDWORKS CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Gibson, Frank Ruepp, Hyesung Lee, Hari Padmanabhan
