Latest Patent Applications
Matsuda's notable patent application is titled "TRANSVERSE METACENTER HEIGHT ESTIMATION DEVICE AND TRANSVERSE METACENTER HEIGHT ESTIMATION METHOD." This device includes a history storage means for storing time sequence data of the roll angle of a hull. The transverse metacenter height estimation means estimates the transverse metacenter height of the hull based on this time sequence data. The device is characterized by its ability to first calculate a roll natural frequency from the roll angle data, set this frequency as an observation model, and carry out state estimation using a normal state spatial model. This model utilizes the transverse metacenter height and the gyration radius of the hull as state variables to provide accurate estimations.
Conclusion
Akihiko Matsuda's work in developing a transverse metacenter height estimation device showcases his innovative spirit and dedication to improving maritime safety. His contributions, although not yet reflected in granted patents, hold promise for future advancements in hull design and stability.
