  • Publication number: 20240101228
    Abstract: A marine information integrated online monitoring buoy system comprises a buoy body. Specifically, a protection apparatus is disposed outside the buoy body. A bearing is disposed outside the buoy body, convex strips are arranged around a bearing outer ring, two floating rings are disposed outside the bearing outer ring with a certain spacing distance from the outer ring and arranged vertically, a protective cylinder is arranged between the upper and lower floating rings in a surrounding manner and is rotatable relative to the floating rings, and then a protective retaining ring is sleeved outside the protective cylinder and is rotatable relative to the protective cylinder. The longest end of a protective retainer is abutted against the bearing outer ring during rotation of the outer side of the protective retaining ring, and a friction block is disposed on the protective retainer.

  • Publication number: 20040149145
    Abstract: A live seafood storage apparatus having a tank for holding seafood, such as lobsters, and a substantially rectangular storage tank for a large quantity of bacteria-supporting bio-media. The storage tank is disposed beneath the lobster tank. Normally, water drains from the lobster tank into the storage tank, where it passes through a pre-filter and down through the large volume of bio-media. Water is moved from the storage tank back to the lobster tank by a pump. If a power failure occurs, substantially all of the water drains from the lobster tank by gravity into the storage tank. Closed access doors minimize evaporation, thus providing sufficient moisture within the lobster tank for lobsters to survive for an extended period of time.
