Abstract: This application describes clutch mechanisms for use in a steering control system, e.g., a steering control system used to steer a trolling motor for a boat. Such clutch mechanisms can reduce and avoid damage to the steering control system (e.g., a steering motor) when the system is subjected to unusually large impact loads (e.g., when the trolling motor or boat contacts an obstruction). The clutches described in this application can be used to decouple the steering control system from a steering shaft (or other drive mechanism) upon application of a large impact load, thus reducing damage to and increasing the lifespan of such system. In some cases, the clutch is a ball and spring mechanism. In other cases, the clutch is a slip tooth mechanism.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment may provide a process for providing digital twins by parsing a dataset into a tabulated format and forming multiple silos from the dataset. The silos may include relational databases related to the digital twins. Personas may be formed as algorithms which specialize in a particular silo. An exemplary embodiment may be agnostic to the specific application and/or domain specific. Advanced cron jobs may feed digital twins (“personas”) that autonomously adjust behavior based on search criteria-specialization and synthesized analysis of both inputs and outputs. Exemplary personas may be constructed with machine learning, artificial intelligence, stored procedures, and unique specialized databasing to generate reporting, modify data, and socialize with other personas in agreed upon spaces to create control within a three-dimensional world in IoT networks.
