Abstract: The present invention is a decoy system that simulates waterfowl taking off and landing with an actuator that rotates a crossbeam in an oscillating manner. The crossbeam is pivotally connected through a hinge to a support beam and holds waterfowl decoys on opposite sides of the hinge, thereby raising and lowering the decoys in a teetering motion. The crossbeam can be unitary or may be formed by a pair of arm sections that are connected by a bracket. The support beam has a telescoping section that retracts and extends relative to a fixed section and has a set of legs at the base of the support beam. A pair of stops limits the extent to which the crossbeam can rotate relative to the hinge, thereby limiting the range of travel for the distal ends of the arm section.

Abstract: A software-based computer system that allows the user to add images from various automotive data sources to the dealer inventory and then automatically create all necessary end-user screen images being uploaded to dealer's computer terminals and simultaneously being syndicated to all third-party listing sites. Furthermore, the computer system can regularly checking/monitor all relevant automotive data sources and automatically update the final end-user screen images on both the dealer and the third-party platforms once a change from automotive data sources is detected.

Abstract: Systems and methods for external vehicle mapping, including mapping processes, using natural language processing, machine learning processes, rule sets, and storage of information that is usable by external data targets.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle information analysis and management via a network are disclosed, including a mobile device operable to capture an image of a vehicle information sticker using an image capturing component and communicatively coupled to the network, a server operable to receive the captured image of the vehicle information sticker via the network and perform an image processing operation on the image, and a vehicle information repository database that is operable to store vehicle information associated with the vehicle information sticker in non-transitory memory after the image processing operation has been performed.

Abstract: The system utilizes fluid pressure achieved by increasing depth as a primary component for generation of energy. The system operates by varying its depth through changes in buoyancy. The ballast changes are controlled by electronics powered by a battery charged by a generator driven by a hydraulic system. Rather than utilizing a motor driven pump to generate pressure in the hydraulic system, a piston-like cylinder is applied pressure by the change in hydrostatic pressure as depth increases and draws fluid back into the cylinder as pressure decreases. As the system sinks, outside pressure forces hydraulic fluid to power a generator that charges a battery and powers a pump to deballast. As the system rises, the lowering of ambient pressure, and other internal forces, causes the hydraulic fluid to return to its initial state, where once the ballast begins to take in fluid, the whole process will continue to repeat.
