Patent number: 9202446Abstract: A stringed instrument plectrum cover that includes a formed structure having a conformal shape adapted to match the tear-drop shape of an instrument pick. The cover comprises a thickened member having an open interior. The plucking end of the pick is exposed while the body of the pick is retained within the thickened member, whereby the member increases the thickness of the pick and improves purchase thereof. The surface of the cover includes decorative features such as phosphorescent decals and designs thereon for personalization and for identification of the pick in low light. The pick is inserted through the open end of the thickened member, whereby the pick is supported within a channel in the padded member while its plucking end and its body section is exposed.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Inventor: David Gauthier

Patent number: 8291757Abstract: A device and apparatus for determining wind conditions around a sailboat. The device includes means for receiving a measured wind angle and wind speed readings from a wind sensor attached to the sailboat and readings of boat heading and boat speed through the water, means for storing wind angle correction data, a computing unit for computing a corrected wind angle reading using the measured wind angle reading, the boat speed reading and the wind angle correction data and for computing a wind direction using the corrected wind angle reading and the boat heading reading, and means for displaying the wind direction. The device additionally includes input means for receiving a wind direction error tack to tack, means for determining the current tack state of the sailboat using the measured wind angle reading, and means for modifying the correction data. Thus, powerful and intuitive correction of wind direction readings is possible.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Raymarine UK LimitedInventors: Mark Johnson, Chris Hodgson, David Gauthier
