  • Patent number: 10597125
    Abstract: A height adjustable depth finder system is provided such that a user may easily raise and lower the height at which a depth finder display is located. Height adjustability may be provided by one or more supports, with at least one support actively driven. The one or more supports may telescope to provide height adjustability and are actively driven by an actuator that may include a wire feed motor or a rack and pinion. In the event of two supports, the two supports may be perpendicular (side-by-side) or parallel (front and back) with the longitudinal axis of the boat. The longitudinal axis of the boat generally forms a “V” line at the lowest part of the hull running from the bow to the stern of the boat.

  • Patent number: 5903874
    Abstract: A system and method for managing and redeeming a promotional coupon for goods and services. The system provides a link between an operator console and a remote database server having one or more coupon files, each of which contains a plurality of coupon records. A customer telephones the operator and discloses an encrypted coupon number from the coupon issued to the customer. The encrypted coupon number is used to access the relevant coupon record in a coupon file on the remote database server. The status of the coupon is transmitted back to the operator console. If the coupon is valid, the operator console provides the goods or services requested by the customer. The operator console subsequently sends a command to the coupon file to change the status of the coupon in the coupon record.
