Abstract: Watersports devices can be configured to provide managed engagement with the water. A watersports device may include a deck and a cape that extends rearwardly from the deck. The cape forms a barrier between the rider and the water while the rider is supported on the deck. Furthermore, the cape may move and flow with the water to approximate the sensation of dragging in the water. Accordingly, such watersports devices can encourage individuals to participate in watersports even when they may be fearful or may lack the skills necessary for mastering traditional watersports devices.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an elevator of a medical device comprises using an additive manufacturing method, forming a pivot portion at a proximal end of the elevator. The pivot portion tapers proximally such that a proximalmost end of the elevator is thinner than more distal portions of the pivot portion. The method further comprises using the additive manufacturing method, forming a body of the elevator that is distal to the pivot portion. The elevator body includes a surface configured to contact an instrument inserted in a working channel of the medical device.

Abstract: A medical scope device may have a handle located at a proximal end of the medical scope device. The medical device may have a first steerable device extending from the handle to a distal end of the medical scope device and a second steerable device extending from the handle to the distal end of the medical scope device. The medical device may have a first control assembly disposed at a first location on the handle and a second control assembly disposed at a second location on the handle, offset from the first control assembly. The first control assembly may control a movement of a distal end of the first steerable device, and the second control assembly may control a movement of a distal end of the second steerable device.

Abstract: A balance board system may include a balance board, a phone that is mounted to the balance board, and a display device on which a virtual environment may be displayed. The virtual environment can include a representation of the balance board that is oriented based on the balance board's orientation as detected by the phone. The virtual environment can enable a user to learn and practice tricks or other activities on a balance board. A phone mount can be used to mount the phone to the balance board. By mounting the phone to the balance board, software on the phone can be used to detect and monitor the balance board's movement to thereby assist the user in improving his or her balance or learning various tricks, movements or techniques. The software on the phone can also allow the user to generate inputs for various games that can be portrayed in the virtual environment.

Abstract: Inflatables can have one or more flat segments that are configured to form one or more bends. The flat segments of the inflatables could be formed using any technique such as drop stitch. One or more bends may be maintained in one or more flat segments of an inflatable such as to create a ladder and a slide. A variety of bend maintaining components can be used to maintain the one or more bends.
