Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide wind sensor motion compensation for wind sensors mounted to moving platforms. A wind sensor motion compensation system may include a wind sensor, a wind sensor accelerometer, one or more additional sensors, actuators, controllers, user interfaces, and/or other modules mounted to or in proximity to a vehicle. The wind sensor motion compensation system may be implemented with one or more logic devices adapted to receive sensor signals and determine a sensor-motion compensated wind velocity. The logic devices may be adapted to receive a wind sensor acceleration and a relative wind velocity from a wind sensor, determine a wind sensor velocity from the wind sensor acceleration, and determine a sensor-motion compensated relative wind velocity from the wind sensor velocity and the relative wind velocity.

A system for countering the rolling motion of a marine vessel, includes one or more sensors adapted to characterize a sea condition approaching the vessel, one or more control systems, a computer, and one or more active stabilizers. The computer is adapted to receive the characterized sea condition data, is further adapted to generate one or more control signals in dependence on the characterized sea condition data, and is still further adapted to transmit the or each control signal to the or each control system. The or each control system is in turn adapted to actuate the or each active stabilizer in response to receipt of the or each control signal, to counter the rolling motion of the marine vessel.

The present invention relates to a balance maintaining device for a transport apparatus. The balance maintaining device comprises a loading frame formed to be long in the lengthwise direction thereof and having two or more first and second supports, which are respectively formed at both sides of the lower portion of the loading frame, and a lower frame provided at the lower portion of the loading frame, and having both upper sides thereof linked and coupled to the first and second supports. The outside of the lower frame is coupled to a transport apparatus so as to maintain the loading frame in a horizontal state when the transport apparatus is shaken.

Disclosed is a system and method for static and dynamic positioning or motion control of a marine structure by using real-time monitoring of at least one of a mooring line, marine environments, 6-dof movement of a marine structure, a tank state, a ship topside, the seabed, or their combinations.
