20080268727 | BOAT - An engine ECU provided in a boat propulsion system is connected to a remote control ECU provided in a remote control device, the remote control ECU is connected to a gauge ECU provided in an information display device, and control is performed so as to start communication between the remote control ECU and the gauge ECU after a power supply is turned on and after authentication of the engine ECU and the remote control ECU is completed. Accurate information on the boat propulsion system can be transmitted in response to a request from the information display device at a time of initialization at a system start. | 10-30-2008 |
20090042460 | STATUS INDICATORS FOR USE WITH A WATERCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM - Status indicators for use with a watercraft propulsion system are described. An example indicator includes a light operatively coupled to a propulsion system of a watercraft, wherein an operation of the light indicates a status of a thruster system of the propulsion system. | 02-12-2009 |
20110104962 | VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A device for controlling a vehicle, in particular a watercraft with a drive system with an energy generating device including a combustion engine, an electric generator adapted to coact with said combustion engine, and a rectifier for rectifying the electrical energy; an energy storage device to store the electrical energy for energy output as and how required; and an energy distribution system for distributing the energy made available by the energy generating and/or the energy storage device to at least one electric motor used to drive a propeller, as well as to other electric power consumers. A central control unit is data-technically coupled with the energy generating device, the energy storage device and the energy distribution system to coordinate energy generation, storage and distribution. The central control device has output means for display of information to a user and/or input means ( | 05-05-2011 |
20130095711 | DEVICE FOR CAPTURING, TRANSMITTING, AND DISPLAYING INDIVIDUAL ROWER DATA - A device that captures and processes individual rower data and transmits the data to a display for use by the coxswain or the coach to enable the provision of immediate feedback to one or more rowers in order to improve the overall performance of the boat. | 04-18-2013 |
20130115833 | MARINE VESSEL PROPULSION DEVICE - A marine vessel propulsion device includes a bracket that is attachable to a marine vessel, a duct that is rotatable around a steering axis with respect to the bracket, a propeller that is rotatable with respect to the duct around a propeller axis extending in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the steering axis, and an electric motor that rotates the propeller. The propeller includes a plurality of blades and a cylindrical rim that surrounds the plurality of blades, and is surrounded by the duct. The electric motor rotates the rim with respect to the duct. | 05-09-2013 |
20130130573 | OUTBOARD MOTOR - In an outboard motor having a prime mover, a gear mechanism transmitting a driving force of the prime mover to a propeller, and a gear case housing the gear mechanism, it is configured to have a drain bolt fastened to a drain hole bored at the gear case and constituted as a magnetic member; a stacked portion provided at an exposed part of the drain bolt in an inside of the gear case and having a conductor, an insulator and a resistive element partially making contact with the conductor that are stacked in a gravitational direction; a current detector detecting a current value conducted from the conductor to the drain bolt under a condition where voltage is applied to the conductor; and a wear debris amount detector adapted to detect an amount of wear debris of the gear mechanism deposited at the drain bolt based on the conducted current value. | 05-23-2013 |
20130157526 | ELECTRICALLY POWERED SURFBOARD - Conventional unpowered surfboards enable riders to catch and ride waves towards a shoreline and experience the thrill and power of ocean waves. An electric powered surfboard has been developed to assist novice riders or riders who have suffered injuries or impairments which limit their ability to paddle are effectively prevented, or at least impaired from enjoying this activity. The surfboard comprises one or more propulsion systems which each comprise an electric motor, a drive shaft and a rotor. The rotor may be a propeller mounted in a fin of the board, or it may be an impellor in a water jet. The surfboard also comprises a power control system for controlling power to the propulsion system and comprises a speed controller and a battery as well as a cooling system for cooling the motor and speed controller. The surfboard may also comprise a monitoring system which comprises a power monitor and an output device for indicating the remaining capacity to the rider. This has the advantage of improved reliability as well as informing the user of their use and remaining capacity to ensure they are able to safely return to the shore. | 06-20-2013 |
