  • Patent number: 11874372
    Abstract: A fish finder transducer mount apparatus for independently controlling a directional transducer and trolling motor includes a clamp body. A motor clamp is coupled to the clamp body. The motor clamp is selectively engageable with the clamp body and configured to secure the apparatus to a propeller shaft of a trolling motor. A directional transducer shaft is rotatably coupled to the clamp body and a directional transducer shaft bottom end of the directional transducer shaft to receive a directional transducer of a fish finder. A gearing system is coupled to the directional transducer shaft to rotate the directional transducer shaft. A handle is coupled to the gearing system. The handle comprises an extension portion secured by a user to manipulate the orientation of the directional transducer shaft.

  • Patent number: 8544159
    Abstract: A manufacturing cell has a plurality of stations arranged in two rows having a main aisle therebetween. Each of the plurality of stations has a station-aisle interface that provides an interaction area to the main aisle. The manufacturing cell also comprises a plurality of storage units that are located within the cell along the main aisle and a guided forklift truck that traverses the main aisle without requiring steering control of a stock handler operating the forklift truck within the main aisle to relocate containers from the storage units to designated station-aisle interfaces and to remove containers from the designated station-aisle interfaces when work is completed at the corresponding stations. At least one of the plurality of stations having two conveyors each having a tiltable platform such that each of the two conveyors can be used to receive and return containers.
