    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide graphical user interfaces for assisted and/or autonomous navigation for mobile structures. A navigation assist system includes a user interface with a display for a mobile structure and a logic device configured to render a docking user interface on the display. The logic device determines a direction and magnitude of a navigational bias associated with navigation of the mobile structure and determines a spatially biased safety perimeter and hazard monitoring area within a monitoring perimeter of a perimeter ranging system mounted to the mobile structure, based on the direction and magnitude of the navigational bias. The docking user interface includes a maneuvering guide with a virtual bumper perimeter intrusion indicator configured to indicate a relative position and/or proximity of a navigation hazard within the spatially biased hazard monitoring area.

    摘要: A fluid level sensing apparatus is disclosed having an electrode assembly, signal generating circuit, and signal processing circuit. The electrode assembly includes a first electrode disposed along an outer surface of the electrode assembly and a second electrode disposed along the outer surface of the electrode assembly, the second electrode separate from the first electrode. The signal generating circuit is configured to output a repeating pulse signal to the first electrode. The signal processing circuit is electrically coupled to the second electrode and configured to receive the signal conducted through the fluid from the first electrode to the second electrode when the electrode assembly is at least partially submersed in the fluid. The signal processing circuit is configured to output a voltage corresponding to a length of the electrode assembly that is submersed in the fluid based at least in part on the signal received by the signal processing circuit.

    摘要: Some fishing boats include a livewell system. This document describes livewell systems that have multiple modes of operation. The modes of operation include, at least, a first mode with a lower water level and a second mode with a higher water level. While the livewell is operating in the second mode, the tank is nearly full of water. Accordingly, with a nearly full tank, the water in the livewell will resist sloshing around while the boat is navigating rough seas or travelling at high speeds or for long distances. Moreover, the health of the fish in the livewell will be protected because of the water's lessened tendency to slosh around in the livewell.

    摘要: A water vehicle includes: a water vehicle body; a control target mounted on the water vehicle body and controlled to operate the water vehicle body; and processing circuitry configured to acquire requested values used to operate the water vehicle body and generate, based on the requested values, command values to be output to the control target. The processing circuitry switches a control mode between a towing mode in which the water vehicle tows a towed target and a non-towing mode in which the water vehicle does not tow the towed target. When the control mode is the towing mode, the processing circuitry generates, based on the requested value, a second command value that is the command value different from a first command value that is the command value generated based on the requested value when the control mode is the non-towing mode.
