Abstract: A seating assembly for a watercraft is provided. The watercraft has a deck including deck attachment features provided on an upper surface of the deck. The seating assembly includes: a padded mat for seating a user, the padded mat being configured to abut the upper surface of the deck, the padded mat having a mat attachment feature for selectively connecting the padded mat to the deck by engaging the mat attachment feature with one of the deck attachment features; and a backrest for supporting a back of the user, the backrest having a backrest attachment feature for selectively connecting the backrest to the deck by engaging the backrest attachment feature to an other one of the deck attachment features. The padded mat and the backrest are usable together to allow the user to sit on the padded mat and be supported by the backrest.

Abstract: A vehicle including a front module including a front wheel and a rear module selectively moveably connected to the front module, the rear module including a rear wheel. The vehicle further includes an electric motor assembly, a mode selector, at least one extension assembly connected between the front module and the rear module for selectively extending and retracting to provide a selective variation in an overall length of the vehicle; and a vehicle control unit being communicatively connected between the mode selector and the electric motor assembly. The vehicle control unit performs a method for selectively changing the overall vehicle length. The method includes receiving from the mode selector an indication to change the overall length, determining that the front wheel is rotationally locked, and causing an electric motor to drive the rear wheel such that the rear module translates relative to the front module.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a liquid sealant composition based on polysulphide, capable of curing on demand, and the process for preparing same, the liquid sealant composition including: (i) a polysulphide comprising an —SH end group, (ii) a crosslinking agent chosen from ethylenically unsaturated or acetylenically unsaturated compounds, the unsaturated ethylenic or unsaturated acetylenic functions of the crosslinking agent being chemically blocked with a blocking agent, and (iii) optionally, a catalyst. The present invention also relates to a process for coating a substrate with a composition according to the invention, and also to the cured sealant materials formed from this composition. Finally, the invention relates to the use of a liquid sealant composition according to the invention for the construction and/or the maintenance, and more particularly for the adhesive bonding and/or the protection, of vehicles and machines.

Abstract: A membrane or piston pump drive comprises a stepping motor (2) and a rotary-to-linear conversion mechanism for converting the rotary movement into a translation movement (6). The rotary-to-linear conversion mechanism comprises a rotary member (4) and a piston member (7) intended to move a piston or a membrane of the pump. The stepping motor comprises a rotor coupled to the rotary member which engages the piston member (7) in order to drive it in an essentially linear reciprocating movement.

Abstract: This adjustment device comprises an adjustment link (6) provided with two parallel articulation axes (5,7) transverse to a bracelet, each serving to connect this adjustment link to two elements of the bracelet forming an endless attachment. This adjustment link is able to pivot about one of its axes (5) to that their respective positions are inverted, these two positions thus corresponding to two determined lengths of the bracelet. In the shorter adjusted position, the adjustment link (6) elastically engages in a recess (8c) of one of the articulated elements (8) of the adjustment link (6) by pressing this element (8) in the direction of the arrow (F.sub.7) so that the adjusted position is maintained as long as the adjustment link (6) has not moved out of the recess (8c) in which it is elastically held by the locking means (8d) of the recess (8c).
