Abstract: A drive device for a vessel includes an electric motor, driving a rotatable drive shaft; an elongate drive device housing, encapsulating the electric motor and the drive shaft; and a propeller, detachably mounted to the rotatable drive shaft. The drive device housing has an upper connection device. The upper connection device is symmetrical about a transverse axis, enabling the drive device housing to be mounted to a structure onboard the vessel in either of two longitudinal directions. The drive device and the hull of the vessel are separated from each other by using an isolation plate with a central isolation sleeve. The electric motor drives the drive shaft via an interconnected gear device encapsulated in the drive device housing or integrated as a part of the drive device housing and are arranged pivotably with respect to the tilt device housing.

Abstract: A system 100 and a method 300 for processing soil. The system comprises a soil processing device 110, arranged to be moved on a soil surface; and a driving device 60, e.g. a vehicle, arranged to move the soil processing device 110 on a portion of the soil surface 170. The soil processing device 110 includes a frame 112, arranged to slide or roll on the portion of the soil surface 170 during operation of the system 0; and at least one substantially horizontal pipe 114, attached to the frame 112, extending along an underside of the frame 112, at a predetermined depth. The pipe 14 has a plurality of apertures 116 along its length, and is connectable to a vacuum generating device that provides an underpressure in the pipe. The system further comprises a protective cover 150 attached to an upper side of the frame 112, the portion of the soil surface 170 and the cover 120 defining a compartment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for squeezing water out of a sponge board (1) having a bow handle (2) arranged on a backing plate (14), the device comprising a perforated base plate (3) and a pressure element (4), wherein the perforated base plate (3) comprises multiple drainage openings (5) for allowing water to drain from an upper surface (6) of the perforated base plate; and the pressure element (4) comprises a first end (7), a second end (8), at least one pressure surface (11) and a recess (9), the recess is arranged to accommodate the bow handle (2) when the sponge board (1) is arranged on the upper surface (6) of the perforated base plate (3), the first end (7) is pivotably connected to the perforated base plate by at least one hinge (12) and the second end (8) is distal from the first end and comprises a push handle (10), and the pressure element (4) may pivot between a first position, wherein the sponge board (1) may be arranged on the upper surface (6) of the perforated base plate (3), and a

Abstract: A system for controlling and providing power to at least one electric motor in a vessel, such as a motor in a thruster or a winch. The system includes an electric energy storage, a power controller device connected to the electric energy storage, at least one motor controller device, a first combined power and communication line interconnecting the power controller device and the at least one motor controller device, an electric motor connected to the motor controller device, and at least one operating device connected to the power controller device. The system may further include a second combined power and communication line that interconnects the power controller device and the at least one operating device. The first combined power and communication line operates with a DC voltage level which is at least twice the operational DC voltage level of the second power and communication line.
