Abstract: In a small boat equipped with a display panel (liquid crystal device) displaying operation information and a change-over switch (set switch) capable of switching from a normal operation in which output of an engine is not limited to a limited operation in which the output of the engine is limited low, the display panel has a display lamp (limit mode display mark) for lighting when switched to the limited operation. Since there is provided a display lamp for lighting when switched to the limited operation for a small boat capable of switching from a normal operation in which output of an engine is not limited to a limited operation in which the output of the engine is limited low, the convenience can be afforded to the operator.

Abstract: A sand spike system anchors a cable in an earthen substrate. A penetrator connected to the cable has folded petal-shaped sections of spring steel propelled into the earth by a propellant. Cables connected to opposite petal-shaped sections help arrest penetration and spread the folded petal-shaped sections outwardly to increase the resistance to tensile loads. Sand spike system may use a delay activated or an electrically initiated propellant to drive the penetrator into the earth instead of mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic force. This permits remote initiation of sand spikes from a safe distance on land or underwater. In addition, each sand spike creates far a greater surface area to entrain and use the earthen substrate and not friction to anchor, and, as a consequence, it safely bears greater tensile loads on the cable.

Abstract: A low watch circle buoy system (LWCBS) uses global positioning system (GPS) P(Y) code coordinate sensing and transmission to mark its position in wr depths up to 40 feet to a positional accuracy of 3 meters or less. LWCBS maintains this position with a flotation unit on the water's surface that transmits signals representative of its location. A submerged unit is affixed to a surface at the bottom of the body of water and has outwardly reaching extensions that lie adjacent the surface. The extensions are tethered to the flotation unit by lines that are each connected between a distal part of each of the extensions and the flotation unit. A spool on each distal part each deploys and secures one of the lines to maintain the flotation unit substantially vertically above the submerged unit. These tether lines limit the range (watch circle) the flotation unit may traverse on the water.

Abstract: An aerial lift balloon and signaling components attached thereto are stored within a closure member held assembled with a breakaway housing to form a package storing an inflating device for the balloon. Removal of the closure member initiates inflation of the balloon and operation of the signaling components, while removal of an end cover of the package permits separation of the breakaway housing enabling the positioning of the inflating device by a flotation collar portion of the package for aerial launching of the balloon. A stroboscopic light suspended between the floatation collar and the aerial lift balloon provides enhanced visibility of the signal device.

Abstract: This nautical buoy is used to monitor the surface projection of a deployed anchor by floating above the anchor. This is accomplished by a connecting tether-line (16) from the buoy to the trip-eye of an anchor (48) attached using a shackle (18). As the anchor is lowered using the vessel's normal ground tackle, the tether-line (16) is deployed by unreeling from the buoy until the anchor rests on the bottom. The tether-line (16) is then secured from further deployment using a tether-line restraining tab (19) and the buoy is tossed overboard so as to float above the deployed anchor. A steady or flashing, light can be affixed to the top of the buoy to identify its location in subdued-light conditions. The buoy can also assist in retrieving an anchor, while aboard the vessel, that has been fouled on bottom vegetation, rocks, and/or other debris. Retrieving the anchor is accomplished by pulling on the tether-line (16), thus applying tensional forces nearly opposite to the frictional forces fouling the anchor. The buoy consists of a rotating plate (22) upon which is fixed a flotation chamber (12) to provide positive buoyancy. A stationary base plate (14) is attached to the rotating plate (22) by two spindles (28 and 30) so that the rotating plate (22) can revolve about the stationary base plate (14). This assembly allows one end of a tether-line (16) to be attached to the buoy, reeled within the buoy for storage, and unreeled upon deployment.

Abstract translation: 该航海浮标用于通过在锚上浮动来监视展开的锚的表面投影。 这是通过从浮标连接到使用钩环（18）附接的锚（48）的绊眼的连接系绳（16）来实现的。 当使用船舶正常的地面滑车降低锚点时，通过从浮标上松开来展开系绳（16），直到锚固件位于底部。 然后使用系绳限制片（19）将系绳（16）进一步展开固定，并且将浮标扔在板上以便浮动在展开的锚上。 稳定或闪烁的光可以贴在浮标的顶部，以便在柔和的条件下识别其位置。 浮标还可以帮助在船上检索在底部植被，岩石和/或其他碎片上被污染的锚。 通过拉动系绳（16）来实现锚固件的拉索，从而施加几乎与与锚固件结合的摩擦力相反的张力。 浮标由旋转板（22）组成，固定浮选室（12）以提供正浮力。 固定基板（14）通过两个主轴（28,30）安装在旋转板（22）上，使得旋转板（22）可围绕固定基板（14）旋转。 该组件允许将系绳（16）的一端连接到浮标上，卷在浮标中用于存储，并且在展开时不释放。
