Niclas Olofsson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11780543
    Abstract: A device for controlling pitch, roll and/or steering of a boat, ship or vessel has a length direction and a height direction and includes at least two actuators, at least two actuating means, at least two crankshafts and an interceptor member. Each actuator is adapted to interact with the corresponding actuating means. The actuating means are adapted to interact with the interceptor member, such that the interceptor member is linearly displaceable between a retracted and an extracted position. Each actuating means is adapted to interact with the corresponding crankshaft, which thereby rotates. The crankshafts interact with the interceptor member such that rotations of the crankshafts consequently lead to a displacement of the interceptor member between the retracted and the extracted position. A boat, ship or vessel include the device.

  • Patent number: 8622012
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (1) for dynamic control of running trim and list of a boat, said boat having at least one hull (2) with a stern (3), said arrangement (1) having a housing member (9), an interceptor member (5), an actuating means (10), a drive unit (7) operated by a power supply means (8), and a guiding means (22), said guiding means (22) being arranged to guide said interceptor member (5) between a first end position and a second end position, said actuating means (10) being arranged to displace said interceptor member (5) in a movement between said first and second end positions in relation to said housing member (9) by being driven by said drive unit (7), and said housing member (9) fully enclosing said interceptor member (5) in said first end position and partially enclosing said interceptor member (5) in said second end position.

  • Patent number: 8608654
    Abstract: A method performed by a data processing system of registering patient-related data, the method including receiving, from a registration device, a set of identification data items and one or more identification time stamps, wherein each identification time stamp is associated with at least one of the identification data items, and the set of identification data items comprises a device identification data item identifying an electronic device and a patient identification data item identifying a patient; receiving, from the electronic device, patient-related data to be registered and an acquisition time stamp indicative of an acquisition time at which the patient-related data has been acquired; and associating the received patient-related data with an identified patient based on at least the received device identification data item, the received patient identification data item, the received one or more identification time stamps and the received acquisition time stamp.

  • Patent number: 5558548
    Abstract: Propulsion unit for marine vessels with a gear or bearing housing (6) in which a propeller shaft (7) with a surface-breaking propeller (8) is carried. In a horizontal plane the propeller shaft forms an angle (.alpha.) to a guide fin (9) so as to create a resultant force (R) of the pressure force (P) of the propeller and the side force (S), with the resultant force being aligned with the longitudinal direction (C.sub.L) when the vessel is travelling straight ahead.

  • Patent number: 5141374
    Abstract: A lock nut device consists of a lock nut (22) and a lock spring (31). The spring is bent into an U-shape and extends in a axial plane over the nut. It has spring legs (32) lying in grooves (25) in the nut and has end portions formed for engagement with the profile portion (16) on a non-rotatable element (4). In the engagement position, the legs are at such a distance from the nut surface that, with the aid of a socket forced over the nut, they can be pressed towards the nut surface, thus moving the end portion from the engagement position.
