Seaeye Sabertooth, A Hybrid AUV/ROV Offshore System

Abstract: Increasing use and complexity of subsea installations has put focus on the costs of maintaining these systems. In addition, access to these systems is sometimes limited by adverse weather and ice conditions. Conventional methods for intervention, maintenance and repair (IMR) using surface ships and ROVs are very expensive furthermore are response and mobilization times slow. To address this Saab Underwater Systems is in the process of developing a hovering Hybrid AUV/ROV system to remotely perform IMR without or strongly reduced need for a supporting ship. This system is based on the Double Eagle SAROV, a hovering Hybrid AUV/ROV in production for the military market and proven components from Saab Seaeye ROV product range.

Sheet metal section

Abstract: A method of cutting a strip of sheet metal, including feeding out a continuous strip of sheet metal in a feeding direction, cutting the strip into a plurality of lengths, including making a wave shaped cut between each length and an adjacent length, wherein each of a forward edge and a following edge of each length include a plurality of waves, and selecting at least one of a radius of each of the plurality of waves and a spacing between adjacent ones of the plurality of waves based on a cutting angle, wherein the cutting angle is oblique with respect to the feeding direction.

An appearance-based measure of surface defects

Abstract: Surface defects on sheet metal panels such as local out-of-plane geometric deviations, cause unwanted deviations from the intended visual appearance. In the automobile industry, these defects are commonly graded for visual acceptability through reflection analysis on the hardware. This widely used method is unfortunately subjective and thus has low repeatability. The same method can be applied on simulated sheet metal panels by the use of ray-tracing. In this paper we present an objective, appearance-based, measure by formalising the approach of subjective reflection analysis. Hence, a natural connection between an objective measure and the appearance is obtained making it easy to establish acceptable levels. The performance of this measure and three other objective measures is discussed and demonstrated for a real panel and a panel geometry obtained through sheet forming simulations. These examples illustrate that different measures yield different information about the geometry, and the proposed measure gives a useful quantification of the visual appearance deviation.

Tuning of LTE/LTE-A DRX parameters

Abstract: The tradeoff between the power saving and the queuing delay in LTE/LTE-A radio devices with Discontinuous Reception (DRX) Mechanism is discussed. Two optimization problems to tune the DRX parameters are formulated. An optimal performance determined by exhaustive search over a large parameter set and a reduced parameter set, obtained by disabling short DRX cycles, is compared.

In-band control mechanism for switching architecture

Abstract: Systems for in-band control that establish relationships between incoming data and one or more destinations to which the data is to be transmitted. In the in-band control embodiments described herein, a connection is established between two ends of a circuit by provisioning at one end of the circuit. A circuit connection table is kept at both ends of the circuit. This table contains the new and existing circuit connection information. A software process writes to the connection table at the local end of the circuit with the address information of the remote end of the circuit. The circuit connection information is to be periodically sent to the remote end to establish or tear down new connections.
