  • Patent number: 9556575
    Abstract: An adjustable self-leveling boat bumper system attaches to a nautical structure associated with a body of water, and includes a longitudinal main guide, a longitudinal adjustment guide connected to a float element, a receiver, a boat bumper connected to the receiver, and an adjustment lock. The main and adjustment guides are oriented perpendicularly to a water surface. The receiver includes a main guide aperture and an adjustment aperture. The main and adjustment guides are moveably engaged with the main guide and adjustment apertures, respectively. The lock determines whether the adjustment guide is moveable. The float element provides a buoyancy force that maintains the receiver and float at a particular position along the main guide relative to the tide level of a body of water.

  • Patent number: 9403582
    Abstract: A boat bumper is positioned between a nautical structure and a nautical vessel. A main body includes a concave portion and a convex portion. The concave portion abuts the nautical structure and the convex portion abuts the nautical vessel. A boat bumper can optionally include an auxiliary bumper having a first convex part and a second convex part. The main body and auxiliary bumper engage to form a macro bumper with the first convex part abutting the concave portion. Alternatively, a main body includes a male connector with a male shape and a female cavity complementarily shaped to the male shape such that the male connector of another bumper fits within the female cavity to connect the bumpers together. A male shape can be keyed and/or tapered in at least one direction.

  • Patent number: 9377447
    Abstract: In exemplary implementations of this invention, an electronic olfactor determines whether a scent being tested matches the scent of a positive control. The electronic olfactor can perform this scent matching even in a changing olfactory environment, and even if the positive control scent is a combination of hundreds or thousands of different odorants. No prior training is needed, and no attempt is made to identify a single odorant that is unambiguously responsible for a scent. Instead, a computer compares the total scent pattern of a positive control sample with the total scent pattern of a test sample, across a sweep of many permutations of electrical inputs to scent sensors, to try to find any condition under which the total scent patterns do not match. If such a condition cannot be found, then the computer declares a match between the test and target scents.

  • Patent number: 9302750
    Abstract: A self-leveling boat bumper system attached to a nautical structure can include a floating bumper arrangement having a float element, a float extension, and a boat bumper; and a receiver, fixed to the nautical structure and moveably engaged with the arrangement, or fixed to the arrangement and moveably engaged with a guide fixed to the nautical structure. When floating within a body of water, the float element can provide a buoyancy force that maintains the boat bumper in a static position between, and including, first and second positions, and as the level of the water changes.
