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.
Claims20
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;
- 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;
- and
- program instructions to adjust at least one transducer in the first area, wherein the at least one transducer is activated.
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;
- 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 area;
- and
- program instructions to adjust at least one transducer in the first area, wherein the at least one transducer is activated.
