  • Publication number: 20250010947
    Abstract: A system for a watercraft with a lifting body. The watercraft system includes, in one example, a lifting body configured to couple to a hull of a watercraft and generate dynamic lift during watercraft operation. In the watercraft system, the lifting body includes multiple parabolic curves that define a leading edge of the lifting body and the lifting body has a chord that decreases from a center of the lifting body to each lateral edge of the lifting body.

  • Patent number: 12186652
    Abstract: A card shuffler and dealing module shuffles eight decks of cards (or less) and delivers Baccarat hands (or other games) to a dealer. Cards are randomly selected from two pre-shuffle bins and delivered to a connected or integral dealing module. The card shuffler initially selects and delivers four cards (the minimum number needed for a hand of Baccarat) to a dealing area of the dealing module. Two additional cards (the maximum number of additional cards needed for a hand of Baccarat) are then selected and delivered to the dealing module rear of the four initial cards. Accordingly, up to six cards are available to be dealt during the Baccarat hand. The smart card shuffler tracks the rank of the cards and discerns the future outcome of the Baccarat game and adjusts the cards made available to the dealer via an automatic dealing module cover and card transport mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20240401745
    Abstract: Typically, the refueling process for a mobile hydrogen-powered machine involves driving or otherwise moving the machine to the location of a fixed, stationary hydrogen refueling station, and replenishing the hydrogen storage of the machine at the refueling station. Disclosed embodiments eliminate or reduce the need to transport hydrogen-powered machines to refueling stations. In particular, disclosed embodiments comprise mobile refueling stations that can be transported to remote work locations within an industrial environment. These mobile refueling stations may comprise their own power sources, and may also comprise a grounding rod for safety.
