  • Publication number: 20250374898
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for locating submerged items using a ropeless fishing system. A surface subsystem installed on a vessel is configured to generate and omnidirectionally transmit an acoustic interrogation signal into a body of water and to directionally receive acoustic reply signals. A plurality of submerged subsystems, each including an underwater acoustic actuator-transponder unit, are configured to receive the interrogation signal and transmit reply signals in response. The surface subsystem processes the reply signals to determine relative bearing, slant range, and true bearing, calculate the submerged subsystem locations, and display the locations on a human machine interface. In some embodiments, the submerged subsystems may further include a compressed gas source and an enclosed flotation bag, and the surface subsystem may transmit a subsequent interrogation signal to actuate one or more submerged subsystems to inflate a flotation bag and enable recovery of the subsystem.

  • Patent number: 12396445
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for ropeless fishing. The ropeless fishing system includes a surface subsystem installed on a vessel and at least one submerged subsystem submerged in a body of water. The surface subsystem includes acoustic transceiver and acoustic transducer units, which are configured to generate and omnidirectionally transmit an acoustic interrogation signal into the body of water surrounding the vessel and to directionally receive acoustic reply signals. The submerged subsystems include a compressed gas source and an enclosed flotation bag in fluid communication and an underwater acoustic actuator-transponder unit configured to receive the acoustic interrogation signal transmitted by the surface subsystem and to transmit an acoustic reply signal into the body of water. In addition, the submerged subsystem is further configured to control the flow of gas between the compressed gas source and the enclosed floatation bag to facilitate recovery of the submerged subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20250017734
    Abstract: An implantable fluid operated device includes a fluid control system to transfer fluid between a fluid reservoir and an inflatable member. The fluid control system includes at least one fluid control device including at least one pump and at least one valve, or at least one combination pump and valve device. A seal is provided in the at least one fluid control device. In a first mode, the seal provides a seal between a fluid passageway and a fluid chamber of the fluid control device, to close the fluid control device. In a second mode, the seal is disengaged to open the fluid control device and allow fluid to flow between the fluid passageway and the fluid chamber. A seal retention device maintains a position of the seal when the fluid control device is open and fluid is flowing through the fluid control device.

  • Publication number: 20240226585
    Abstract: An implantable medical device can include a housing including electronic devices within the housing, and a header attached to the housing. The header can include a first silicone portion configured to surround a first portion of internal electronics of the header, and a second silicone portion configured to surround a second portion of internal electronics of the header. The header can further include a splitline where the first silicone portion abuts the second silicone portion, wherein an outer edge of the first silicone portion and an outer edge of the second silicone portion are rounded at the splitline to prevent a sharp edge that may cause damage during assembly or insertion.
