MEDICAL MOVABLE BODY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME
A medical movable body system according to the present disclosure includes a medical movable body, a robot, a manipulator, and a controller. The robot is in a first space. The manipulator is in a second space. The controller executes: (A) making the robot self-travel to approach a patient; and after the (A), (B) operating an arm and/or a hand .
Methods and apparatus of building construction resisting earthquake and flood damage
A three part foundation system for supporting a building is described. Three part foundation systems can include a containment vessel, which constrains a buffer medium to an area above the containment vessel, and a construction platform. A building can be built on the construction platform. In a particular embodiment, during operation, the construction platform and structures built on the construction platform can float on the buffer medium. In an earthquake, a construction platform floating on a buffer medium may experience greatly reduced shear forces. In a flood, a construction platform floating on a buffer medium can be configured to rise as water levels rise to limit flood damage.
WATER PLATFORM INFRASTRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MAKING
A water habitat platform is created from converted trash and rubbish found within the oceans. A process separates the trash from water to identify the raw materials, which are then converted into building blocks. The blocks are used to create platforms or islands that sustain themselves using power generated from tidal forces. The islands are connected to each other and moveable.
An Offshore Security Monitoring System and Method
A waterborne vessel includes a monitoring system configured to monitor the plurality of offshore properties such that the waterborne vessel is configured to respond to an alert signal transmitted from at least one of the plurality of offshore properties when the monitoring system receives the alert signal. An offshore security monitoring system includes the waterborne vessel and a base module deployed at each of the plurality of offshore properties. A security monitoring method may include monitoring the security of the plurality of offshore properties by the monitoring system of the waterborne vessel according to various embodiments, receiving an alert signal from the at least one of the plurality of offshore properties, and responding to the alert signal. A security monitoring unit includes, a plurality of waterborne vessels according to various embodiments, and a control center in communication with the plurality of waterborne vessels.
Data center facility
Waterborne data center facility systems and methods comprising a purpose-built marine vessel, a pre-fabricated data center facility structure, a plurality of computer systems, a plurality of energy-efficient water-based heat exchange systems, a plurality of energy efficient closed loop cooling systems, a plurality of data center modules and a plurality of electrical power generators. Described systems and methods may be employed to quickly deploy an energy-efficient waterborne data center facility. Described waterborne data center facility is transportable and may be moved to areas where data center facility and data center type services are needed. Water-based heat exchange and closed-loop cooling system enable energy-efficient cooling to data center facility and the plurality of computing systems therein. Power generators may be used to provide power to data center facility. Waterborne data center facility may prove helpful in areas following natural disasters or for military purposes where data center services are needed but not readily available.
Arrangement and method for underwater activities
An arrangement (100) for underwater activities includes a reservoir (101), which reservoir includes a wall (102) securing a space inside the reservoir (101) to be filled at least partially with water (103). The arrangement has also an opening (104a, 104b) for entering the reservoir, and a container (105) to be filled at least partially with water (103). The container receives the reservoir (101) so that the lower portion of the reservoir including at least one opening (104a) is located under the water surface level (103). The lower portion of the reservoir when introduced with the container is securing together with the container's (105) wall an upper portion (107) of the container, which upper portion (107) supports via the opening (104a) the pressure difference between the upper portion (107) of the container (105) and the space inside the reservoir (101), when water (103) is introduced into the space inside the reservoir.

Floating construction
A floating construction comprising a container filled fully or partially with water, the lower portion of the container being located within a surrounding body of water and the water surface level of the surrounding body of water being substantially lower than the water surface level inside the container, the container comprising transparent walls or walls with transparent sections and at least one open opening for entering the container, which at least one open opening is located below the surface level of the surrounding body of water, and which floating construction comprises space for spectators observing activities taking place inside the container, wherein the floating construction comprises at least one ballast tank, which ballast tank is connected to the container with a controllable pressure connection, and which ballast tank has controllable water connection to the surrounding body of water.
Water and land-based modular system for environmentally versatile housing, shelter and commercial use
A sustainable floating and land application community based on a mass-produced modular, pre-fabricated kit of parts referred to as floating modular units (FMU) or land module units (LMU). Both modular units are designed to allow for various needs while remaining simple to deliver and assemble by hand in remote destinations prone to volatile shifts in water levels and currents. Both floating and land module units can be erected for use on land and bodies of water.
