Abstract: A deck extender for a personal watercraft can include a deck member supported in a cantilevered configuration over an edge of the deck of the personal watercraft. The deck extender can include mounting sleeves fixed to an upper deck of a personal watercraft with mounting tabs of the deck member received within the mounting sleeves. The deck member can include mounting mechanisms having a receptacle and a pivoting cleat mounted above the receptacle configured for mounting accessories to the deck member. The deck member can have recessed channel members for mounting accessories.

Abstract: Networks, systems and displays for providing derived data and predictive information for use in multivariable component systems and activities; and in particular for use in motor racing such as in NASCAR®, Indy Car, Grand-Am (sports car racing), and/or Formula 1® racing. More particularly, there are systems equipment and networks for the monitoring and collecting of raw data regarding races, both real time and historic. This raw data is then analyzed to provide derived data, predictive data, virtual data, and combinations and variations of this data, which depending upon the nature of this data may be packaged, distributed, displayed and used in various setting and applications.

Abstract: A personal watercraft with cargo-carrying surface and an anchor rail mounted on a surface of the personal watercraft. The anchor rail being adjacent to the cargo-carrying surface and exposed to an environment. The anchor rail can include an outwardly facing surface exposed to the environment, and the anchor rail is secured to the personal watercraft in such a manner that the outwardly facing surface is recessed relative to the cargo-carrying surface to form a recess or that the outwardly facing surface is flush with the cargo-carrying surface.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting when a dispenser, or an automated dispenser system, of a consumable product is replenished. Embodiments of the disclosure are also directed to systems and methods that facilitate ordering additional inventory of a consumable product that is consumed during a time period.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating people counts based upon usage data obtained from a dispenser, or an automated dispenser system, of a consumable product. Examples of the disclosure are also directed detecting underutilization or overutilization of a washroom based upon the usage data.

Abstract: Examples of systems and methods to encourage compliance with hand hygiene recommendations are disclosed. A request for a cleansing agent in a cleansing agent dispenser can be received. A compliance timer can be created upon receiving the request. A subsequent request for a towel from a towel dispenser can be deemed out of compliance with hand hygiene recommendations if the request was received before expiry of the compliance timer.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system. A first light control module of a plurality of light control modules determines a time of day. Each light control module in the plurality of light control modules configured to cause a transmission of a quantity of electrical energy to a lighting circuit of a light fixture electrically connected to the respective lighting control module. Occupancy at the first light control module is detected after a specific time of day. The flow of electricity from one or more light control modules in the plurality of light control modules is changed to change the flow of electricity to the respective lighting circuits connected to the one or more light control modules to turn off the respective light fixture based on the occupancy detection the time of day.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control apparatus for automated lighting adjustments based on sensor and alarm signals. A light control apparatus detects a signal, such as an alarm signal and a sensor signal, from an electronic device, such as a mobile electronic device and a security system, or a sensor device, such as a motion detector. The light control apparatus is configured to select a scene based on the detected signal and modulate a flow of electrical current to a lighting circuit controlled by the light control apparatus according to one or more parameters of the selected scene.
