  • Patent number: 11627167
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for real time communications between service provider subscribers. In one embodiment, a web server is operable to provide a network-to-network interface (NNI) with a plurality of service providers, to communicate with the service providers through WebRTC links, and to retrieve contact information of subscribers to the service providers over the WebRTC links. The web server also includes a database operable to store the contact information of the subscribers. The web server is also operable to process a connection request from a first of the subscribers to connect with a second of the subscribers, to retrieve the second subscriber's contact information from the database, to push a notification message to a device of the second subscriber using the second subscriber's contact information (e.g., a user identity), and to establish a WebRTC connection between first and second subscribers when the second subscriber accepts the connection.

  • Patent number: 9714075
    Abstract: A jet boat includes a hull, a jet propulsion nozzle mounted to a rear of the hull, and an articulating keel attached at the rear of the hull. The articulating keel is connected to the jet propulsion nozzle via a connecting portion such that when the jet propulsion nozzle is turned, at least a portion of the articulating keel is turned with the jet propulsion nozzle. The jet propulsion nozzle turns about a first pivot axis extending vertically or substantially vertically, and the articulating keel turns about a second pivot axis extending vertically or substantially vertically. The first pivot axis of the jet propulsion nozzle is coaxial with the second pivot axis of the articulating keel.

  • Patent number: 9079638
    Abstract: A watercraft is provided. The watercraft includes a cockpit. The watercraft further includes a stern-facing seat having a movable backrest. The seat is outside of the cockpit. An aquatic activity platform extends to a stern of the watercraft from the seat, and defines a foot rest for the seat. An engine is positioned substantially further towards a bow of the watercraft than the seat. A storage compartment has an opening positioned further towards the bow than the backrest of the seat. The backrest is movable to a first position to expose the opening and provide access to the storage compartment, and to a second position to conceal the opening.

  • Patent number: 7967303
    Abstract: Disclosed is a carriage system for a water vessel. The carriage system comprises a support assembly and a wheel assembly. The support assembly is removably attached to a first side of the water vessel. The support assembly comprises a first body member disposed on an inner surface of the first side, and a handle member removably attached to the first body member. The wheel assembly is removably attached to a second side opposite to the first side of the water vessel. The wheel assembly comprises a second body member disposed on an inner surface of the second side, and a wheel member removably attached to the second body member. The support assembly facilitates pulling of the water vessel. Further, the wheel assembly facilitates movement of the water vessel upon being pulled using the support assembly.
