Abstract: A method includes transmitting a first electromagnetic signal from a first node to a second node and receiving a second electromagnetic signal from the second node at the first node. The method also includes repeating the transmission of the first electromagnetic signal and the reception of the second electromagnetic signal multiple times. The method further includes identifying, based on the repeated transmissions and receptions, a time-of-flight associated with a travel time for one of the electromagnetic signals to travel between the first and second nodes. The time-of-flight is indicative of a distance between the nodes.

Abstract: A carbon dioxide cycle power generation system includes a first carbon dioxide storage configured to store a first portion of carbon dioxide and a second carbon dioxide storage configured to store a second portion of the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide cycle power generation system also includes a generator configured to generate electrical power based on a flow of at least part of the carbon dioxide between the first and second carbon dioxide storages. The carbon dioxide cycle power generation system is configured to cycle between different underwater depths in order to employ water pressure and/or water temperature in creating the flow of the at least part of the carbon dioxide through the generator. The second carbon dioxide storage includes an annular region surrounding a central region, where the annular region has a variable internal volume configured to receive at least part of the second portion of the carbon dioxide.

Abstract: An apparatus includes first and second tanks each configured to receive and store a refrigerant under pressure. The apparatus also includes at least one generator configured to generate electrical power based on a flow of the refrigerant between the tanks. The apparatus further includes a collector configured to transfer solar thermal energy to one of the tanks to heat the refrigerant in that tank and/or radiate thermal energy from one of the tanks into an ambient environment to cool the refrigerant in that tank. In addition, the apparatus could include first and second insulated water jackets each configured to receive and retain water, where the first tank is located within the first insulated water jacket and the second tank is located within the second insulated water jacket.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting a first electromagnetic signal from a first node to a second node through free space. The method also includes transmitting a second electromagnetic signal from the first node to the second node through a communication link, where the communication link physically couples the first and second nodes. The method further includes identifying a distance between the first and second nodes based on a time-difference-of-arrival between reception of the first electromagnetic signal at the second node and reception of the second electromagnetic signal at the second node.

Abstract: A system includes a vehicle having a body and a power generation system. The power generation system includes first and second tanks each configured to receive and store a refrigerant under pressure. The power generation system also includes at least one generator configured to generate electrical power based on a flow of the refrigerant between the tanks. The first tank is configured to be cooled by one of ambient air and water to a lower temperature, and the second tank is configured to be warmed by another of the ambient air and the water to a higher temperature. The first tank or associated heat exchanger can be positioned such that the first tank is above the water's surface when a portion of the body breaches the surface. The second tank or associated heat exchanger can be positioned such that the second tank is below the water's surface when a portion of the body breaches the surface.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a shell having multiple ducts that define multiple flow passages through the shell. The apparatus also includes a core disposed within the shell and including one or more rechargeable power supplies. The apparatus further includes multiple drivers configured to cause water to flow through the ducts in order to maneuver the apparatus toward a host device. In addition, the apparatus includes at least one interface on the shell, where the at least one interface is configured to receive power from the one or more rechargeable power supplies and provide the power to the host device. The apparatus may be configured to dock with the host device and to be transported by and supply the power to the host device as the host device travels through a body of water.

Abstract: An apparatus includes first and second tanks each configured to receive and store a refrigerant under pressure. The apparatus also includes at least one generator configured to receive flows of the refrigerant between the tanks and to generate electrical power based on the flows of the refrigerant. The apparatus further includes first and second hydraulic drives associated with the first and second tanks, respectively. Each hydraulic drive includes a first piston within the associated tank, a channel fluidly coupled to the associated tank and configured to contain hydraulic fluid, and a second piston within the channel and configured to move within the channel in order to vary an amount of the hydraulic fluid within the associated tank and vary a position of the first piston within the associated tank. The channel of each hydraulic drive has a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the associated tank.
