  • Publication number: 20240149981
    Abstract: A watercraft comprising a deck and a wall, the wall comprising a first reconfigurable panel, is provided. The deck has a front end, a back end, and a perimeter. The wall extends proximate a portion of the perimeter, thereby defining a use portion of the deck. The first reconfigurable panel is movable between a fixed first position and a fixed second position. When the first reconfigurable panel is in the second position, an area of the use portion of the deck is open.

  • Patent number: 11922533
    Abstract: A weighted average execution time associated with each execution stage of a plurality of execution stages used to process a plurality of frames in parallel is obtained. The processing of each of the plurality of frames is performed at each of the plurality of execution stages in a sequential order, starting with an initial execution stage and continuing with each subsequent execution stage. A first largest weighted average execution time associated with one of the plurality of execution stages is determined. A delay to the initial execution stage prior to processing a first next frame is applied. The delay is determined based on the first largest weighted average execution time.

  • Publication number: 20220393415
    Abstract: Charging systems configured to charge a device with a power connector configured to operate at specified power parameters. The charging systems include a base module and a removable module. The base module fixedly mounts to a panel and electrically couples to a power supply. The removable module removably and electrically couples to the base module. The removable module includes an electronics system and a power receptacle. The electronics system converts a supply current from the removable module to an output current matching the specified power parameters of the power connector. The power receptacle is complementarily configured with the power connector to electrically couple with the power connector. In some examples, the base module is configured to mount to the panel in a range of orientations to facilitate electrically coupling with the power supply and to receive the removable module in an upright orientation regardless of the base module's orientation.

  • Patent number: 10453201
    Abstract: Methods of sensing a fault in an electronic display may include receiving streaming data to be displayed, appending the streaming data with an animation instruction, displaying the streaming data via a screen, monitoring the animation via a photo-sensor, sensing an interruption in the animation via the photo-sensor, and signaling, in response to the sensing step, a fault in the electronic display. The displaying step may include producing, in response to the animation instruction, an animation in a dedicated area of the screen. In some examples, the sensing and signaling steps may be performed without programmable software.

  • Patent number: 10115483
    Abstract: A system and associated methods are disclosed for generating alternative scheduling for orderable administration. In one embodiment, input is received regarding proposed timing for changing a current administration schedule for a substance-based orderable associated with an established order. Based on the input, one or more options for a revised administration schedule associated with the established order are generated. The generation of the scheduling options takes into consideration a policy for maintaining a degree of commonality with the current administration schedule.

  • Patent number: 9994448
    Abstract: Processes for extracting iodine from an aqueous solution, such as brine, are disclosed. Activated coconut carbon particles are mixed with the solution to adsorb iodide through pores in the activated carbon particles. The activated carbon particles are then treated with sulfur dioxide gas and water to form hydrogen iodide. The hydrogen iodide is then reacted with chloride to obtain elemental iodine (I2).
