Abstract: The water spray cooling device for a watercraft includes at least one water sprayer that is adaptively secured to a watercraft. The one or more water sprayers are in fluidic communication with a pump via a first conduit. The pump is in fluidic communication with an intake valve via a second conduit. The intake valve is located on a hull of the watercraft in order to collect water, which is then transferred to the pump. The one or more water sprayers spray water onto an occupant of the watercraft. The one or more water sprayers are ideally located on an external surface of the watercraft in order to direct water at a driver of the watercraft.

Abstract: The present invention concerns novel pharmaceutically active triterpene derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, their use as medicaments, and the use of the compounds for the manufacture of specific medicaments. The present invention also concerns a method of treatment involving administration of the compounds. Specifically, the compounds are derivatives of betulinic acid having substitutions at one or more of the C-3, C2-8 and C-19 positions as further described herein. The novel compounds are useful as antiretroviral agents. In particular, the novel compounds are useful for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
