A system includes a coil contacting base. The coil contacting base includes a radially curved outer surface with a radius of curvature less than or equal to a coil radius of curvature of an interior channel of a coil of spoolable pipe, and the coil contacting base includes a length greater than or equal to an axial dimension of the coil. The system also includes a side wall coupled to an inner surface of the coil contacting base. The side wall is configured to block circumferential movement of a coil restraint. The system also includes a passage disposed between the coil contacting base and the side wall. The coil restraint is configured to be disposed in the passage.

A bracket for securing a container or an array of co-planarly adjacent containers, such as cylindrical barrels or oil drums to a transport vehicle. Each bracket can include a generally ring-shaped circular, planar body having a diameter sized to substantially match the outer diameter of the circular end of the barrel. Six couplings extend radially outwardly from the peripheral sidewall of the bracket body at angularly evenly spaced apart locations. The axial positions of the couplings can be reciprocatingly staggered so that couplings extending from adjacent brackets can overlap and interconnect to one another, thereby conjoining the brackets across the array. Hooked cables can secure the vehicle to the couplings.

An automatic displacement device for use in a carrier includes at least one weight mount, at least one actuator, and at least one stability regulator. The weight mount can hold at least one heavy object accommodated in the carrier' body. The actuator is coupled to the weight mount. The stability regulator is electrically communicated to the actuator and includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor can measure a state associated with an angle of the carrier's body and output a signal representative of the state. The controller calculates a tilt of the carrier according to the signal outputted from the sensor and is capable of commanding the actuator to move the weight mount in view of the tilt to perform a compensation on the carrier.

Cargo containers are disclosed herein. A cargo container for carrying one or more delivery items to respective delivery destinations may include a container body configured to at least partially enclose and support the delivery item(s) and to be selectively and operatively coupled to a vehicle. The cargo container additionally may include a programmable device supported by the container body that stores manifest information regarding each delivery item. The cargo container further may include a container communication device supported by the container body and configured to convey delivery information to a vehicle communication device of the vehicle to direct the vehicle to the delivery destination(s) of the delivery item(s). The manifest information may include item destination information that represents the delivery destination of each delivery item, and the delivery information may be at least partially based upon the item destination information.

A rigid or inflatable stand up paddleboard (SUP) conversion kit to provide a stable recreational platform for fishing. diving, hunting, nature photography, birdwatching or other activity. A detachable frame positions a pair of pontoons rearward relative to the SUP to avoid interference with rowing. A rolling storage case stores activity accessories such as diving or fishing equipment. After securing the storage case to the SUP, the case serves as a storage seat. A rear canopy frame may be assembled onto the SUP in order to support a rear canopy to conceal the user; and a front canopy frame may assembled onto the SUP in order to provide additional concealment that may be used for a hunting dog. The various conversion kits are compact and self-contained, and can fit easily in the trunk of a car.

The invention relates to transportable and compact power supply unit for supplying a water vehicle, in particular an electrical power supply system of the water vehicle, with electrical energy and in particular for arrangement on the water vehicle, containing in a transport container or a plurality of transport containers that can be connected together, wherein the transport container or the plurality of transport containers can be transported as a single, coherent unit: at least one internal combustion engine that can be operated on gas, in particular a natural gas, at least one generator for generating power, which can be driven by the at least one internal combustion engine, at least one control device for the at least one internal combustion engine and/or at least one control device for the at least one generator, at least one fuel treatment device for the at least one internal combustion engine and/or at least one exhaust gas cleaning device for the at least one internal combustion engine, and at least one fuel storage device, wherein the fuel of the fuel storage device is a gas, in particular a natural gas, which is present preferably as liquefied gas, especially preferably as LNG.

The sidewall-suspended boat cooler is a cooler comprising a container and a lid. The container has an asymmetric layout comprising a front compartment and a rear descending wall overhang where the front compartment and the rear descending wall overhang are separated by a U-shaped space that mates with a gunwale or sidewall of a vessel. The lid is hingedly coupled to the rear of the container and a seal provides an airtight barrier between the container and the lid. The container and the lid are insulated to maintain the temperature of items stored within the cooler. Handles on the side of the cooler allow it to be conveniently carried. The sidewall-suspended boat cooler may further comprise an organizer on the exterior front wall and a cargo net the hangs adjacent the front of the container.

An autonomous watercraft with a waterproof container that houses a satellite communication terminal. The waterproof container includes a first shell mounted on a deck of the watercraft and that has a sealed first interior space that contains satellite communication circuitry of the terminal. The waterproof container also includes a second shell mounted under the deck of the watercraft and that has a sealed second interior space that contains the processing circuitry of the terminal. The first and second shells include ports configured to receive connectors for communication signaling and/or power. The first shell can also include a pressure port to pressurize the first interior space for use in leak detection. The shells can also include heat sinks to cool the satellite communication terminal.

A securing assembly is adapted to secure objects to a structure. The assembly includes an attachment mechanism adapted to attach the assembly to an object in use. An elongate rod has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connectable to the attachment mechanism and the second end is connectable to an adjustment device. A base is adapted to connect the adjustment device to the structure in use. The adjustment device is operable to adjust a tension between the object and the structure by way of the assembly to secure the object to the structure in use.

An algae skimmer and debris removal system includes a water filter boat, a water and algae intake disposed on the water filter boat, a water filter disposed on the water filter boat downstream of the intake, a cleaned water outlet disposed on the water filter boat downstream of the filter and a debris collector disposed on the water filter boat for removing solid debris from the water. A debris compactor boat is detachably connected to the water filter boat and a compactor is disposed on the compactor boat for receiving the solid debris from the collector and for compacting the solid debris.
