  • Publication number: 20250136260
    Abstract: A maneuvering device for controlling navigation of a marine vessel is provided. The device has an input source movable between an equilibrium position and at least one displaced position, A variable resistance device adjusts a movement resistance of the input source. A control unit controls the variable resistance device by: obtaining a requested release input of the input source to move from the displaced position towards the equilibrium position, obtaining a longitudinal speed of the marine vessel, and controlling the variable resistance device to adjust said movement resistance of the input source based on the requested release input and the longitudinal speed.

  • Patent number: 11918808
    Abstract: An implantable medical device, including a magnet and a body encompassing the magnet, wherein the implantable medical device includes structural components in the body configured to move away from one another upon initial rotation of the magnet relative to the body when the magnet is subjected to an externally generated magnetic field, thereby limiting rotation of the magnet beyond the initial rotation.

  • Publication number: 20230400255
    Abstract: In one aspect, a heat exchange apparatus is disclosed having a liquid distribution system configured to distribute liquid onto a liquid absorbent material and an airflow generator operable to cause air to flow through the liquid absorbent material and toward an indirect heat exchanger. The heat exchange apparatus includes a controller configured to operate in a dry mode where the controller inhibits the liquid distribution system from distributing liquid onto the liquid absorbent material and a wet mode where the controller causes the liquid distribution system to distribute liquid onto the liquid absorbent material. The controller is further configured to operate at least one of the liquid distribution system and the airflow generator to inhibit drift of liquid from the liquid absorbent material toward the indirect heat exchanger in response to the controller switching from the dry mode to the wet mode.

  • Publication number: 20230389190
    Abstract: A system for normalizing the solder interconnects (e.g., normalizing the height of the solder ball interconnects) in a circuit package module (e.g., dual-sided mold grid array package module) after removal from a test board includes a fixture that receives the circuit package module upside down and a stencil removably coupleable to the fixture and over the circuit package module. The stencil has a pattern of apertures that coincides with the pattern of solder interconnects of the circuit package module. Solder paste can be applied over the stencil to pass through the apertures to add solder paste to the solder interconnects. The stencil can be removed from over the fixture, and the circuit package module removed from the fixture. The circuit package module can be heated to reflow the solder interconnects with the added solder paste.

  • Publication number: 20230205207
    Abstract: A method to control a marine vessel comprising two or more drive units. The method involves registering an operating command indicating a requested sideways or bow bollard push function; detecting a current vessel position; registering the current vessel position as a desired vessel position; executing the requested bollard push function; and monitoring the current vessel position in order to detect a deviation relative to the desired vessel position. If it is detected that a deviation between the desired vessel position has exceeded a predetermined value, then the requested bollard push function is deactivated. The disclosure further relates to a control unit arranged to control a marine vessel and a marine vessel comprising such a control unit.

  • Publication number: 20230195117
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a control unit to control a marine vessel comprising two or more drive units. The method involving the steps of registering an operating command indicating a requested vessel direction and plotting a course represented by a reference line for the requested vessel direction from an initial position. It is then monitored if the vessel has deviated from the reference line and if a deviation from the reference line is detected, then a value for current vessel speed is detected. The detected vessel speed value is compared to a predetermined reference speed value to determine if the current vessel speed value is within a high speed interval or a low speed interval relative to the reference speed value. Depending on the determined speed interval the vessel is controlled according a low speed control strategy; or a high speed control strategy in order to move the vessel from a current vessel heading to the reference line and the requested vessel direction.
