Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a distribution module assembly configured for mounting to a marine vessel and comprising a mounting bracket connected to a housing to aid in the stabilization of the marine vessel moving through water. The distribution module assembly further comprises a printed circuit board, a connector plate, and connectors which may connect to a variety of electronic components which also aid in the stabilization of the marine vessel. The printed circuit board is further configured to interface with various electronic components on the marine vessel such as a software control module, an engine control module, a navigation system, a gyroscopic stabilizer, a water engagement device, an engine, and other similar components that could provide the intended functionality and stability during operation of a marine vessel.

Abstract: An assembly adapted for mounting a water engagement device to a marine vessel may include a transom plate, an actuator plate and a clamping assembly. The transom plate may be adapted to be connected to the marine vessel. The actuator plate may include a flange that is disposed under a bottom side of the transom plate. The clamping assembly is configured to engage the transom plate and the actuator plate to connect the actuator plate to the transom plate.

Abstract: A dynamic active control system (DACS) configured for: (1) total vessel pitch axis control by fast symmetric deployment of water engagement devices (WEDs) or controllers, coupled with engine trim adjustments; (2) total roll and heading control by differentially deploying WEDs to counter rolling motions while simultaneously adjusting engine steering position to counter the steering moment associated with WED delta position; and (3) adjustment of the engine steering angle to counter yaw moments produced by gyroscopic stabilization systems.

Abstract: A software-based commissioning strategy for customization of a new marine vessel having a newly installed stability/dynamic active control system. The commissioning strategy will be implemented by using a proprietary customer-facing software embedded within a software module of a newly installed dynamic active control system for a new marine vessel (and a new hull type). The software-controlled commissioning strategy is configured to automatically determine the appropriate feedback gains for the marine vessel by controlling the deployment of the water engagement devices while simultaneously measuring and capturing the data generated from the resulting list angle, roll angle, roll rate, and yaw rate changes associated with the deployment.

Abstract: Cooling apparatus for transferring heat from and cooling one or more heat generating components that support or drive a flywheel or other spinning member. The apparatus may include a first heat transfer element attached to and spinning with the spinning member, a second heat transfer element stationary with respect to the spinning member, wherein the first and second heat transfer elements move relative to one another, and wherein the first and second heat transfer elements are shaped and positioned in close proximity to one another so that substantial heat is transferred from the first heat transfer element to the second heat transfer element.
