| 20090260556 | Magnetically Attached Floor Covering for a Boat - A magnetically attached carpeting or other covering for a floor of a boat includes a set of magnetic elements connected to the floor and another set of magnetic elements connected to the carpeting. Wherein, the location of the magnetic elements of the floor and carpeting generally match each other. When the carpeting is installed on the floor, the magnetic elements of the floor and carpeting attract each other thereby promoting attachment of the carpeting to the floor. The carpeting can be removed from the floor by overcoming the magnetic attraction between the matching magnetic elements. Effectiveness of the attachment is not diminished by repeated installation and removal of the carpet from the boat floor. | 10-22-2009 |

The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a floor construction. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110023763 | FLOORING UNDERLAYMENTS - Flooring underlayments may be formed by combining an epoxy based resin component, a curing agent component, and an aggregate component. The resulting underlayment may be a lightweight material with a low viscosity that allows the underlayment to be self-leveling. Further, the underlayment may be designed for application in both wet and dry spaces. In certain embodiments, the underlayment may have a weight less than approximately 7.8 kg/m | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110030602 | ADJUSTABLY RIGID FLOATING ISLAND SYSTEM - A floating island structure comprising a plurality of rectangular- and/or freeform-shaped modules and an internal linkage system; wherein the modules are comprised of nonwoven fibers; wherein the internal linkage system comprises a plurality of joiner plates and flexible or rigid tensioning members; wherein the modules are joined together by joiner plates; wherein the tensioning members are attached to the joiner plates and/or to internal plates; and wherein the joiner plates of adjacent modules are joined together to form the floating island structure. Natural and/or synthetic fibers are optionally used to fill in the cavities surrounding the tensioning members. A decking assembly is optionally installed on top of the modules to provide homogeneous or heterogeneous rigidity to the overall structure. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20120227653 | Rotationally Molded Article Having Compressible Truss - A rotationally molded article, preferably a boat or equivalent floatable marine structure, has a compressible truss structure either assembled to the mold and molded into the internal structure of the article, or added to a previously molded article and permanently attached in place. The compressibility of the truss accommodates key challenges to molding articles of large dimension without encountering buckling or twisting or other structural defects. For example, when molded integrally with the article, the compressible truss compresses as the thermoplastic material shrinks slightly during cooling. When added to a previously molded article, the compressible truss allows the article to withstand extreme amounts of applied force during use, e.g., encountering high waves in boats of seven meters [23 feet] or greater at speeds of at least 20 knots [37 km/h (or 10.3 m/s)]. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120247380 | SKID SHOE ASSEMBLY FOR LOADING AND TRANSPORTING LARGE STRUCTURES - A system comprising a floating vessel comprising a deck having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis; a plurality of support structures in an array spaced along the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis; a plurality of lateral support members spanning a lateral distance between adjacent support structures; a plurality of longitudinal support members spanning a longitudinal distance between adjacent support structures; a skid beam resting on the plurality of lateral support members and the plurality of longitudinal support members; and a skid shoe resting on the skid beam. | 10-04-2012 |
| 20120266797 | Multipurpose Deepwater Vessel - A multipurpose deepwater vessel equipped with a floating structure having a bow, a stern, a weather deck, a first board, and a second board; a J-lay tower hinged to the floating structure along the second board, and movable about a first axis into a number of work positions to join pipe assemblies into an underwater pipeline, and to lay an underwater pipeline; a heavy-duty crane connected at the bow to the floating structure to rotate about a second axis, and having a boom defining an operating range within which the J-lay tower is located in any one of its work positions; and a preassembly line, below the weather deck, for joining pipes into pipe assemblies for supply to the J-lay tower. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20130213288 | BOAT WITH ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM - A boat having a deck and a hull includes a suspension for suspending the deck with respect to the hull. Sensors are employed to determine motion of the deck, with a controller adjusting the suspension such that it maintains the pose of the deck with respect to an inertial reference and with respect to pitch, roll, and heave of the deck. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20130233228 | POROUS ANTI-SLIP FLOOR COVERING - A marine flooring assembly having a marine vessel having a fixed surface and a floor covering assembly with an underlayment having an upper surface, an opposing lower surface, and defining a plurality of voids extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, the lower surface of the underlayment directly coupled to the fixed surface of the marine vessel, the floor covering assembly also having a working layer disposed on top of the underlayment, the working layer including a plurality of meshed flexible curled strands, each curled strand having at least one portion directly physically coupled to at least one of another curled strand and an upper surface of the underlayment, the plurality of curled strands defining a lower working surface, an upper working surface, and a plurality of openings thereat. | 09-12-2013 |
| 20130298814 | Method for Treating Wood and Wood-Based Materials, and Wood and Wood-Based Materials Obtainable Therewith - The present application relates to a method for treating wood and wood-based materials for enhancing dimensional stability and surface properties and also for preventing cracking and extending durability. More specifically the invention for the treatment of wood and wood-based materials is directed to a method wherein the wood or wood-based material is subjected to a thermal treatment and the wood or wood-based material is at least partly impregnated with a melamine-containing resin. Subsequently the wood or wood-based material thus impregnated is cured with hot steam at not more than 125° C. preferably up to a maximum of 120° C. In a further aspect the present application includes the thermally treated wood or wood-based material, impregnated with melamine resin and cured, that is obtainable from the method of the invention. The present invention lastly provides for the use of melamine-containing resin for impregnating wood and wood-based materials which are or have been thermally modified, for the purpose of increasing the hardness and reducing the dimensional change through thermal modification. The material produced in accordance with the invention can be used as a substitute for teak. | 11-14-2013 |
| 20140102345 | DRILLING SHIP FOR A POLAR REGION - Provided is an arctic drill ship in which a weather tight structure protecting a drill floor and a drilling work area from outside air is coupled to a side strake around the drilling work area. It is possible to economically and easily manufacture the weather tight structure which minimizes the influence of outside air on the drilling operation in the polar regions, and it is possible to efficiently support the hull longitudinal strength and the weather tight structure with the use of the side strake structure solely. Therefore, a structure which may cause a disturbance in the drilling work area is minimized, and it is unnecessary to install a separate structural reinforcement part for a drilling workspace in the polar regions. In addition, the drilling workspace in the polar regions can be effectively ensured, and a spatial limitation in an upper portion of a moonpool can be solved. | 04-17-2014 |
