چکیده

This paper reports the development and results of at-sea eld testing of a new control system for remotely operated underwater vehicles. The control system provides model-based closed loop trajectory tracking control in addition to conventional PID control, dynamic power management, and a high level of power control and monitoring. The control system is presently deployed on three operational US vehicles, and is scheduled for deployment on two additional oceanographic vehicles in the UK and US.

A Study on Neodymium Recovery from Aqueous Solutions for Designing a New Generation of Sandwich Liquid Membrane

Liquid Membrane (LM) based processes, as Supported Liquid Membranes (SLMs), have been proposed, for over 30 years, as effective methods for the selective separation of inorganic/organic species from different water streams. The industrial use of SLMs has been limited mainly by their insufcient stability. To investigate on the main cause of system destabilization and the o...

Three-dimensional viewing in the deep sea.

A new multicamera system enables unprecedented panoramic video feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) used to explore the deep sea, and offers creative new visual options on land as well. Traditionally, ROVs have been limited to the effective tunnel views of traditional camera systems. In contrast, the figure reveals a 180° view from the new system during a test run at a shallow reef in P...
