  • Subsea manipulator
    Patent number: 11559905
    Abstract: A subsea manipulator for a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) that includes at least one linear, oil-filled electric actuator to control a motion of the manipulator in a subsea environment is disclosed. The remotely operated underwater manipulator includes an electric actuator for each axis of motion of the manipulator, and an end effector that includes a rotational joint and a tool motor for controlling a tool affixed to the end effector. A method for changing the tool of the manipulator in a subsea environment is disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Putting target
    Patent number: 10493347
    Abstract: A putting target is disclosed which visually replicates a golf hole and reliably returns a golf ball to the putting location. The putting target includes a lip, a ramp and an angled wall segment. The ramp includes a concaved surface defined by a quadratic spline in each of a longitudinal (x-z) plane and a lateral (y-z) plane and a rim circumscribing the concaved face. An angled wall segment extends from the rim and terminates at a bottom edge for supporting the ramp at an inclined orientation with respect to the putting surface. An image is applied to at least a portion of the ramp and provides a perspective view of a golf hole along a predetermined line of sight.
