Overboard Tracking Device
20200216153 · 2020-07-09 ·

An overboard tracking device is an apparatus which facilitates the location of individuals wearing Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) or similar survival devices in a body of water. The apparatus includes a prismatic buoyant housing, a power source, at least one switch, a controller, a transceiver, a thermionic layer, an antenna layer, and a waterproof casing. The prismatic buoyant housing maintains the apparatus above water. The power source provides power for the operation of the apparatus. The at least one switch enables manual or automatic activation or deactivation for the apparatus. The controller processes the data and signals received from external radar sources. The transceiver facilitates the sending and receiving of radio wave signals to/from external radar sources. The thermionic layer generates the power stored in the power source. The antenna layer transmits radio waves from/to the transceiver. The waterproof casing prevents contact of the electronic components with water.

Life-saving equipment around pond
20200189699 · 2020-06-18 ·

The invention discloses a life-saving device around a pond, comprising a base, wherein a pillar is fixed on the top surface of the base, a ceiling is fixed on the top surface of the pillar, and a cavity is provided in the ceiling. A recovery shaft is rotatably provided in the cavity, and two sets of ropes are wound around the periphery of the recovery shaft. A hanging plate is fixed on the right side of the column, and a life ring is mounted on the hanging plate. The life ring It can be tied with the rope so that when the life buoy is thrown into the water, it can be rotated by the recovery shaft to pull the life buoy back. The present invention can inflate the life buoy and oxygen mask through the rotation of the inflatable shaft. Accelerating the inflation efficiency, eliminating the need to replace the oxygen mask and life buoy back and forth, saving rescue time, meanwhile, rescuers and rescued people can be quickly pulled back to the shore by a rope at the same time, saving rescue time and energy.

System and method for monitoring a spatial position of a mobile transmitter, man-over-board detection system
20200178057 · 2020-06-04 ·

A system and method for monitoring a spatial position of a mobile transmitter is provided. In particular, the mobile transmitter may be attached to or included in an object of interest. By analyzing the signal strengths of radio frequency signals emitted by the transmitter, a spatial position of the mobile transmitter can be determined, and it is possible to detect whether or not the spatial position of the mobile transmitter is outside an allowable area. By applying the monitoring of the spatial position to a radio frequency system on a vessel, a reliable man-over-board detection can be achieved.

Unmanned aerial vehicle search and rescue system
10668997 · 2020-06-02 ·

A search and rescue drone system includes a buoyant body member, a frame attached to the buoyant body member for carrying a motor and propeller, and an electronic array including a camera, GPS, an EPIRB radio distress beacon, and a transmitter/receiver for remote control flying the drone and communicating with an operator. The search and rescue drone may be flown manually, or may have some autonomous flight and locator capabilities. For example, in one embodiment, the search and rescue drone may be programmed to simply fly to the location of an electronic wearable device, like a bracelet, that is worn by a man overboard. In another embodiment, the search and rescue drone includes a basket, harness, or other means for actually recovering a swimmer in distress, and flying that person back to safety on a ship or on shore.
