A process of printing an image or images on the sails of a watercraft or other wind powered vessel without altering or compromising the efficacy of the sails is described. The process employs a method of printing large-scale, single or multiple panel, continuous, high-resolution photographic and graphic images on sails. The dynamics and curvatures of a sail are integrated into manufacturing process when employed for sails, though the process may be applied to any large-scaled fabric print. The process of the present invention produces printed sails providing for the highest resolution photographic, art, and graphic printing with virtually no weight gain, nor effect on the sail's original performance. Modern equipment is employed to achieve printing of realistic, high quality images directly on to the fabric of sails without compromising flexibility or durability, as well as without infringing on the speed and agility of the sailing craft.

An intelligent sensor system for capturing and analyzing advertising impressions received from self-driving vehicles displaying external advertising platforms, such as video display signage. The advertising impressions would include pedestrian and vehicles in visible range of the external advertising platform on the self-driving vehicle as it traversed a geographic area. A large fleet of such self-driving vehicles could constantly move between targeted areas, including suburban neighborhoods to obtain a maximum advertising impressions, without the need of a human operator.

The practice of this invention enables saving a life. A passive distress alert for distressed vessel in water is provided. The self-activating alert is positioned on or near hull bottom zone and distress message is at least partially presented, without human or mechanical, electronic or other trigger, when vessel is keel over or in other overturned positioned and can indicate relative percent keel over. The alert reflects natural and artificial light and/or has components which are fluorescent, with or without special black light, either at day or night to present a distress message to a detector. Detector can be an aided or unaided human eye, camera, bar code reader, or other alphabetic or numerical character or symbol electronic recognition device. Distress message can be SOS, MOB, HELP, CQD, R&R, MAYDAY and other local or universal distress messages or combinations thereof or special distress alert comprising bars, dots, dashes and other symbols. A vessel comprising a passive distress alert is disclosed.

Vessels navigating rivers or canals may be visible from the riverbanks or from bridges, requiring consideration not only for horizontal visibility but also for visibility from above. To address this, the invention features a shipboard advertising system that includes two display sections installed with a slant on the ship's main body, each supplied with advertising images. The top edges of the display sections are arranged closely together, while the bottom edges are spaced apart. The angle between the top edges ranges from 35 to 145, enhancing visibility and enabling effective advertising tailored to the unique conditions of ship navigation.

A self-driving vehicle with an external advertising platform, such as video display signage, designed to provide on-demand video ever-changing advertising. The audiences of such advertisements would include those individuals that were in proximity to the self-driving vehicle as it traversed a geographic area. A large fleet of such self-driving vehicles could constantly move between targeted areas, including suburban neighborhoods to reach a maximum audience, without the need of a human operator.
