A field configurable autonomous vehicle includes modular elements and attachable components. The vehicle can be assembled from these modular elements and components to meet desired mission and performance characteristics without the need to purchase specially designed vehicles for each mission. The vehicle and other autonomous vehicles can be transported to the location of use by a ferry vehicle thereby conserving vehicle systems and resources and expanding the vehicle utility.

The invention relates to a ship, comprising: at least one casing that delimits a cavity extending vertically across the ship's decks; at least one exhaust flue that is installed inside said casing and comprises a plurality of concentrated mass components and a plurality of components with mass distributed in length; a plurality of structures that support the plurality of said components inside the casing. Said support structures comprise: a plurality of main platforms, which define a main support base inside said cavity and is connected to walls of the casing at a ship deck by means of the interposition of main elastic suspensions; and a plurality of secondary platforms, which are directly or indirectly supported only by one of said main platforms and defines a secondary support base arranged at a different height with respect to the main support base that is defined by the corresponding main platform.

The present invention discloses a marine vessel with a monohedral v-shaped hull bow portion blending into catamaran hull sponsons, a center tunnel and individual terminal tunnels on each of the sponsons. This new hull design is capable of high speeds to travel to a desired location, while still providing platform stability and shallow draft of the catamaran shaped aft portion. A removable hull transom diffuser gate and a removable side hull deflector plate may be retracted and/or lowered to reduce the signature of the vessel underway. A retractable cockpit may be included to permit stacking of the marine vessels in order to allow multiple vessels to simultaneously be shipped in a C-130 or C-17 cargo plane to a distant location. This retractable cockpit may include a multi-positional pilot house which can be elevated for rough sea conditions with hinged windshield and side plates for protection from waves for the operators.

A laminated core stock sheet for use in a composite laminate assembly that is separated into individual cards is provided. The sheet includes a core substrate layer and an intermediate filmic layer coupled to the core substrate layer. The intermediate filmic layer includes a conductive material that provides a security, decorative, or functional feature of the cards. The core substrate layer and the intermediate filmic layer are coupled with another laminated core stock sheet to form the composite laminate assembly. The conductive material has a small thickness within the intermediate filmic layer such that the intermediate filmic layer prevents conduction of electrostatic discharge (ESD) through the intermediate filmic layer and outside of the individual cards.

A floating wetland structure designed for placement in a body of water includes: at least one surface module having an upper surface at or above the water level; at least one submerged module below the water level; and a frame interconnecting the surface module and submerged module. The frame maintains the surface module as horizontally offset from the submerged module such that an open water area is defined. The floating wetland structure can have an alternating arrangement of surface modules and submerged modules. The frame may include lengthwise extending members and laterally extending members. Horizontally extending lower members may be interconnected with the upper members by vertically extending members that maintain the submerged module below the water level.

Sealed and thermally insulating tank comprising a sealed membrane and a thermally insulating barrier with insulating blocks comprising cover panels, the sealed membrane being made up of a corrugated metal membrane comprising a series of parallel corrugations and flat portions between the corrugations and resting on the cover panels, wherein an insulating block is twice the pitch of the corrugations, meaning that a series of corrugations comprises a pair of corrugations situated in line with one insulating block, and wherein the flat portions of the sealed membrane are arranged in line with an internal zone of the cover panels, the sealed membrane being fixed to the thermally insulating barrier by fixing the flat portions of the sealed membrane to the insulating blocks in the internal zone of the cover panels.

Disclosed in the present invention is a small leisure boat. The leisure boat according to the present invention comprises: a container-shaped boat on which people board; seats arranged along the inner wall of the boat body; three or more connection rods of which one end is coupled to the boat body and which are arranged symmetrically with the boat body at the center; and floating bodies respectively connected to the other end of each of the connection rods. According to the present invention, riders can converse or play a game while facing each other by arranging the table inside the boat body and the seats around the table, thereby increasing convenience and entertainment aspects of leisure activities. Also, the stability of the leisure boat is significantly increased by the floating bodies arranged symmetrically around the boat body, and the boat body is not easily rocked due to movement of users or waves due to the positioning of the boat body at the center of the three floating bodies, thereby enabling enjoyment of refreshing and safe leisure activities.
