SEINE NET POSITION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETERMINING SEINE NET POSITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240324563 titled 'SEINE NET POSITION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETERMINING SEINE NET POSITION
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for measuring the position of a seine net using sensor modules attached to the net, which transmit data to a computer for analysis.
- Sensor modules are placed on the seine net to collect position data, such as depth information, when the net is retracted to the boat.
- The sensor modules can be located near the bottom of the net or the leadline to accurately determine the net's depth profile and sinking rate.
- The sensor modules transmit data wirelessly to a computer onboard the boat or part of a cloud computing system for processing.
- This system is cost-effective and allows for a large number of sensor modules to be used, improving the accuracy of the net's position.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilization of sensor modules on a seine net to measure position data.
- Wireless transmission of data for analysis.
- Cost-effective and scalable system for improved accuracy.
Potential Applications:
- Fisheries management for monitoring net position and efficiency.
- Research purposes for studying marine ecosystems.
- Environmental monitoring for assessing impact on marine life.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of accurate methods for measuring seine net position.
- Inefficient data collection processes.
- Limited scalability and cost-effectiveness of existing systems.
Benefits:
- Enhanced accuracy in determining seine net position.
- Cost-effective solution for data collection.
- Scalable system for various applications.
Commercial Applications:
- Fisheries industry for optimizing net usage.
- Research institutions for marine studies.
- Environmental organizations for monitoring impact on marine ecosystems.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include previous systems for measuring net position in fishing or marine research applications. Researchers can explore existing patents or publications in the field of marine technology and fisheries management.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the field of marine technology and fisheries management may be conducting ongoing studies on improving net position measurement systems, data analysis techniques, and applications in marine research and conservation.
Questions about Seine Net Position Measurement: 1. What are the potential environmental benefits of using accurate seine net position data in fisheries management? 2. How does the scalability of this sensor module system compare to traditional methods of measuring net position?
Original Abstract Submitted
a seine net position measurement system utilizes a plurality of sensor modules coupled to the seine net to determine the seine net position by recovering seine net position data, such as depth data, upon retraction of the seine net to the boat. the sensor modules may be configured proximal to the bottom of the net or the leadline. a depth profile of the net, as well as a rate of sinking of the net may be determined from the position data. the sensor modules have a sensor wireless signal transceiver that transmits a wireless signal to a wireless signal transceiver that sends the data to a computer for processing. the computer may be on the boat or part of a cloud computing system. this system is economical and enable a large number of sensor modules to be used to provide better accuracy of the net position.
