Abstract
A method of autonomously preventing fouling of a submerged vessel, the method comprising: activating, by one or more computing devices, a at least one transducer and at least one sensor at a first area; generating, by one or more computing devices, a predetermined sound wave from the at least one transducer; monitoring, by one or more computing devices, data collected by the at least one sensor; altering, by one or more computing devices, the at least one transducer, wherein the alteration is based on the data collected by the at least one sensor; and autonomously adjusting, by one or more computing devices, at least one of the at least one transducer, wherein at least one of the transducers is activated.
Claims16
A method of autonomously preventing fouling of a submerged vessel, the method comprising:
- activating, by one or more computing devices, at least one transducer and at least one sensor at a first area;
- generating, by one or more computing devices, a predetermined sound wave from the at least one transducer;
- monitoring, by one or more computing devices, data collected by the at least one sensor, wherein the data collected by the at least one sensor is if a vessel is within range of at least one sensor and at least one transducer;
- altering, by one or more computing devices, the at least one transducer, wherein the alteration is based on the data collected by the at least one sensor;
- and
- autonomously adjusting, by one or more computing devices, at least one of the at least one transducer, wherein at least one of the transducers is activated.
A computer program product for autonomously preventing fouling of a submerged vessel,
- the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:
- program instructions to activate at least one sensor at a first area;
- program instructions to monitor data collected by the at least one sensor;
- program instructions to calculate a wave form pattern of at least one transducer to produce a predetermined sound wave;
- and
- program instructions to adjust the at least one transducer in the first area, wherein the at least one transducer is activated and the predetermined sound wave is generated by the at least one transducer.
A system for autonomously preventing fouling of a submerged vessel comprising:
- a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
- program instructions to activate at least one sensor at a first area, wherein the at least one sensor collects data associated with a first portion of the vessel;
- program instructions to activate at least one sensor at a second area, wherein the at least one sensors collects data associated with a second portion of the vessel;
- program instructions to monitor data collected by the at least one sensor, wherein the data collected is based on the presence of a vessel within range of the at least one sensor and at least one transducer in the first and second area;
- and
- program instructions to adjust the at least one transducers in the first and second areas area, wherein at least one transducer is activated.
