Abstract:
The present invention provides a board game having one or more puzzle projects. The board game includes a game board, a plurality of playing pieces and a plurality of game cards. The game board includes a plurality of project areas with one or more puzzle creation regions thereon. Each of the project areas on the game board includes the same number of puzzle creation regions. The playing pieces correspond to portions of the one or more puzzle creation regions. The plurality of game cards includes cards providing for the placement of a playing piece on a puzzle creation region identified on the card, cards providing for the removal of a playing piece from an unfinished puzzle in a player's one or more puzzle creation regions and cards allowing all players to place a playing piece of their choice on their one or more puzzle creation regions.
Abstract:
A fall detection system informs a driver of a water vehicle of a fallen rider being towed by the vehicle. The system includes a detection device coupled to a handle for detecting contact between the rider and the handle. The device generates a contact signal that automatically stops or changes if contact is broken. The system further includes a transmitter coupled to the detection device that transmits a contact signal therefrom and a receiver that receives the contact signal. A display presents a warning message upon an interruption in the reception of the contact signal. Alternatively, the transmitter may be coupled to a speed control unit of the vehicle to stop or reduce the speed of the vehicle if a fall is detected. A communication system may also be provided.
Abstract:
Systems for controlling the trim of the nozzle of a jet propulsion watercraft as well as the operation of the reverse gate of such a watercraft are provided. Firstly a commonly actuated trim and reverse system is provided in which both the trim angle of the nozzle and the orientation of the reverse gate are electronically controlled through a single actuator. Secondly, an electronically assisted reverse gate system is provided where the operating conditions of the watercraft are taken into consideration into the evaluation of the orientation to be given to the reverse gate. Finally, an automatic trim control system, taking into account the steering angle to automatically control the trim angle, is further provided.
