Jun 23, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/600726

Inventors:

Michael T. Ansay - Johnston RI
John R. Little - Swansea MA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

B63G 800

US Classification:

114312, 89 1809, 114316, 114320

Abstract:

An assembly of underwater bodies and a launcher therefor. The assembly is adapted for mounting on a submarine outside the pressure hull. The assembly includes a launcher having a housing for enclosing an underwater body, a body support structure within the housing for supporting the body, a pressure regulator system in communication with the housing for imposing a selected pressure on an interior of the housing, a hatch pivotally mounted on the housing, and an actuator for opening the hatch to permit the body to exit the hatch, and for closing the hatch. The underwater body is a self-propelled body adapted to exit by gravity from the launcher. A release device is disposed on the launcher for releasing the body from the launcher to permit the exit of the body from the launcher by gravity.

US Classification:

114319, 114312, 114313, 114316, 114318, 89 1809

Abstract:

An air bag launch assembly is disclosed which allows for modular loading onto a submarine, the launch of weapons or vehicles external to the submarine pressure hull, while also achieving greater packing density. The air bag launch assembly includes a large, watertight pressure container; one or more smaller, watertight canisters used to contain the weapon or vehicle. The canisters are sized to fit within the larger pressure container. An air bag inflator is attached to the top and/or sides of the small canister to buoy the canister out of the container.

US Classification:

717149, 717148, 717151

Abstract:

A computing device-implemented method includes receiving a program created by a technical computing environment, analyzing the program, generating multiple program portions based on the analysis of the program, dynamically allocating the multiple program portions to multiple software units of execution for parallel programming, receiving multiple results associated with the multiple program portions from the multiple software units of execution, and providing the multiple results or a single result to the program.

US Classification:

717149, 717151, 717155

Abstract:

A computing device-implemented method includes receiving a program, analyzing and transforming the program, determining an inner context and an outer context of the program based on the analysis of the program, and allocating one or more portions of the inner context of the program to two or more labs for parallel execution. The method also includes receiving one or more results associated with the parallel execution of the one or more portions from the two or more labs, and providing the one or more results to the outer context of the program.
