A floating module includes an upper half and a lower half. The upper half includes one edge from which a flange extends downwardly, while the lower half includes an opposite edge that includes an upwardly facing flange. Modules can be interconnected to one another by engaging the upper flange from one with the lower flange from another. A cavity and channels are formed in the lower surface of the module such that water will become entrapped in the cavity and channels when the platform is placed in water. Through use of one way check valves positioned in fluid communication with the cavity and channels, a hydro-lock is formed that prevents the water from escaping the cavity and channels while it is placed in water.

A floating apparatus for supporting a grill including a substantially rectangular float having an outer rim, a substantially rectangular base disposed within the outer rim, and a cavity disposed within the outer rim above the base. Each of a right grill support and a left grill support of a pair of grill supports has a linear base rod and an upper support attached to a top surface of the base rod. The base rod of each of the right grill support and the left grill support is disposed within the cavity. A plurality of magnets is disposed within a middle segment of the upper support of each of the right grill support and the left grill support. At least one cup holder unit is disposed within the cavity of the float. A portable outdoor grill is removably securable to the plurality of magnets.

A system, method and computer program product for monitoring and improving water quality to mitigate harmful algal blooms using smart rafts, including a raft made from a mycomaterial; one or more tube-shaped pods formed in the raft and configured to hold seed or media and configured with a root channel at the bottom of the pods extending through a bottom of the raft; and a sensor holder formed in the raft and configured to hold a water quality sensor accessing a water channel extending through a bottom of the raft. Remedial plants are grown in the tube-shaped pods with roots of the remedial plants passing through the water channel into water underneath the raft.

The present invention provides a connecting device for connecting at least two floating bodies, in particular at least two stand-up paddle boards, side by side, comprising: a linkage having at least one rod; and a plurality of fastening means arranged on the at least one rod of the linkage, at least some of the plurality of fastening means being provided axially displaceable along the axis of the at least one rod of the linkage adapted to the respective geometry of the at least two floating bodies such that each floating body can be clamped between at least two fastening means on the at least one rod of the linkage in a positionally stable manner.

A valve assembly for an inflation system that includes a pressure relief valve and a vent valve. The pressure relief valve has a pressure relief housing and a pressure relief valve poppet. The pressure relief housing defines a first pressure relief cavity that is disposed between a first end wall defining a first flow port and a first wall defining a passageway and a second pressure relief cavity disposed between the first wall and a second wall. The pressure relief valve poppet is movably disposed within the first pressure relief cavity and the second pressure relief cavity. The vent valve has a vent housing and a vent valve poppet. The vent housing defines a vent cavity that is disposed between the second wall defining a vent flow port and a second end wall. The vent valve poppet is movably disposed within the vent cavity.

A life raft may include a base comprising a first side and a second side, and a self-supporting, collapsible spring canopy. The canopy may include a spring wire frame, a first panel circumscribed by the spring wire frame, and a second panel circumscribed by the spring wire frame.

The present invention relates generally to watercraft vehicles, and more particularly, to adjustable pontoon boats. More specifically to adjustable pontoons and a deployment system capable of connecting and altering positions of the adjustable pontoons with respect to a pontoon boat.

A system, method and computer program product for monitoring and improving water quality to mitigate harmful algal blooms using smart rafts, including a raft made from a mycomaterial; one or more tube-shaped pods formed in the raft and configured to hold seed or media and configured with a root channel at the bottom of the pods extending through a bottom of the raft; and a sensor holder formed in the raft and configured to hold a water quality sensor accessing a water channel extending through a bottom of the raft. Remedial plants are grown in the tube-shaped pods with roots of the remedial plants passing through the water channel into water underneath the raft.
