  • Patent number: 11679848
    Abstract: A method of monitoring accelerations on a vessel includes measuring acceleration on the vessel using one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are communicatively coupled to a computing unit. Real-time acceleration information representative of an acceleration on the vessel based at least in part on the measured acceleration from the one or more sensors is generated. Acceleration prediction information representative of predicted wave slam using the computing unit is generated. Using the acceleration prediction information, automatic control of trim, steering, or throttle controls of the vessel is performed in a fashion computed to reduce the effects of the predicted wave slam.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11155324
    Abstract: A method of monitoring wave slam on a vessel includes measuring acceleration forces from mechanical shocks on the vessel using one or more sensors communicatively coupled to a computing unit. Generating real-time acceleration information representative of the wave slam based at least in part on the data obtained from the sensors. Generating acceleration prediction information representative of a predicted wave slam based at least in part on the generated real-time acceleration information. Presenting at least one of the generated real-time acceleration information or acceleration prediction information to an intended recipient.

  • Patent number: 10252771
    Abstract: A clipless pedal platform adapter can include first and second platforms. Each platform can have an outer side to interface with a user's foot and an inner side to interface with a clipless pedal, the inner sides facing one another. First and second side members can also be pivotally coupled to the first and second platforms at opposite ends of the platforms such that a distance between the platforms is variable. The first and second platforms and the first and second side members can define a pedal opening to receive the pedal. The first and second platforms can be biased toward one another to force the inner sides against the pedal thereby coupling the clipless pedal platform adapter to the pedal.
