Abstract:
1. A marine system, the system comprising: an elongated element designed and arranged to be deployed from a sea-going vessel into a sea; a plurality of actuators located on the elongated element; and a plurality of sensing elements spaced apart along substantially an entire length of the elongated element, wherein each sensor element of the plurality of sensing elements includes: a) an interconnecting communication line communicatively connected to one or more neighboring adjacent sensor element; and b) at least one processor communicatively connected to the interconnecting communication line and the one or more neighboring adjacent sensor element; wherein the at least one processor detects an alarm situation based upon exceeding a predetermined threshold and then activates a conditioned response signal that provides for the capability of a local neuro-muscular interaction of the one or more neighboring adjacent sensor element and each actuator of the plurality of actuators.
