Patent GB-2553666-A (GB)
Title: Autonomous boat launching
Inventor: Samer Abbas
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2017-07-31
Abstract: A driver of a vehicle inputs a destination 305 into a vehicle navigation system. A vehicle computer consults sensors to detect if a trailer carrying a boat is connected 310 to the vehicle. If a trailer is connected the vehicle, the computer assesses the destination to determine if a boat launch is nearby or proximate 315. A graphical user interface is provided 325 to a user via an interface in the vehicle, boat or by a mobile device. The user can use the interface to select 330 a launch operation and in response the computer guides or steers the vehicle into a launch position for launching the boat. As the trailer is backed into a launch position (figure 4), sensors measure the water depth to determine that the water is deeper than a threshold value and suitable for launching the boat.

Title: Systems and methods for thermally actuated flow control
Inventor: MICHAEL BALDEA
IPC: G05D23/08
Filed: 2016-03-02
Abstract: Various implementations provide an inherently safer design feature for microchannel reactors that provides temperature control at the individual channel level. This approach relies on bimetallic strips embedded within the combustion channel, forming a thermally-actuated "valve". Bimetallic strips convert a temperature change into a mechanical displacement. Heating the strip increases its deflection and thereby restricts flow in the combustion channels, which consequently reduces the rate of heat generation. The thermally-actuated valve is not limited to use in microchannel reactors and may be used in other structures for which thermally actuated flow control is desired, according to some implementations.
