LIGHT SOURCE ASSEMBLY WITH MULTIPLE, DISPARATE LIGHT SOURCES
A light source assembly for use by a user includes a housing assembly and a moving beam light source. The moving beam light source is positioned substantially within the housing assembly. The moving beam light source generates a source output beam that is directed away from the housing assembly at an angle relative to a rotation axis as a moving output beam while being rotated about the rotation axis. The moving beam light source is a non-visible light source that generates the source output beam having a center wavelength that is outside a visible light spectrum.
SYSTEM FOR DANGEROUS CURRENT IDENTIFICATION, CHARACTERIZATION, ALERTING AND FOR DISTRESSED SWIMMER LOCATION AND ASSISTANCE
A vessel includes a body, such as surfboard, that floats in water. One or more thrusters, and one or more sensors are provided on the body. A controller is configured to selectively activate the thrusters to cause the vessel to move along a path through the water, receive sensor data from the one or more sensors while the vessel is moving along the path, determine, based on the sensor data, whether a dangerous condition is present in the water; and output a warning when the dangerous condition is present in the water. For example, the collected sensor data may relate to locations and directions of currents in the water, the dangerous condition may relate to a rip current, and the warning may identify at least one attribute of the rip current. A map identifying a location of the dangerous condition may be generated and forwarded to other devices.

FIXER FOR MARINE LIGHT
A fixer is applied to position a marine light on a boat and to adjust an angle of the marine light, and the fixer contains: a base and a rotatable adjuster. The base is locked on the boat by using two first screw bolts, the marine light is disposed on a top of a positioning column, and the rotatable adjuster is arranged on a bottom thereof. The rotatable adjuster includes a clamp member arranged on a side thereof and includes a connection member having a square cross section and disposed on a bottom of the rotatable adjuster so as to connect the positioning column on the base. The base is in a protrusion shape and includes a groove defined on a middle section of a top of the base, and the groove has two slots respectively defined on two intermediate sections of two peripheral sides thereof.

Rescue network system for watercraft
In a rescue network system for a watercraft, a transmitter transmits a first distress signal of the watercraft to which it belongs. A receiver receives a second distress signal from another watercraft. An output outputs emergency information indicating the existence of the second distress signal from the another watercraft. A controller is configured or programmed to control the output to output the emergency information when the receiver has received the second distress signal from the another watercraft.
Calling system and method for personal watercraft
A calling system for a personal watercraft includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: obtain a specific state signal indicating that the personal watercraft is in a given specific state; and wirelessly transmit a calling signal based on the specific state signal.
