  • Patent number: 11104409
    Abstract: A system for manoeuvring a boat with fenders is described. A plurality of water nozzles is provided on the boat. Further, a plurality of pumps is operated by an artificial intelligence module and/or control unit and powered by the power source 130 of the boat. The plurality of pumps is primed continuously to reduce response time to control the plurality of pumps and each of the plurality of pumps is connected to one water nozzle. A plurality of sensors is configured to monitor the state of motion of the boat. Further, an artificial intelligence module is in communication with the plurality of water nozzles, the plurality of pumps, and the plurality of sensors. The artificial intelligence module is configured to keep the boat in a stationary standstill or on a chosen course of motion.

  • Patent number: 7181254
    Abstract: A wall-mountable and desk-mountable radio device comprising a base (20) and a radio unit (10), inside of which radio unit is an antenna integrated on a circuit board (30) and a group of indicator lamps (32). The cover of the radio unit is provided with first openings (14), and the base comprises corresponding photoconductors (24), which narrowly fit into the first openings (14). The cover of the radio unit is also provided with one or more second holes (18), into which the photoconductors (24) fit narrowly. The indicator lamps (32) are arranged at the first openings (14). The second openings (18) are arranged so that, threaded therein, the photoconductors (24) are placed above the first openings (14), and so the photoconductors (24) receive the indicator lights in both desk and wall installations. The photoconductors are provided with a bevelled surface (26) for turning the indicator light obliquely downward in wall installation and obliquely upward, towards the eyes of the user, in desk installation.
