The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. At least two spaced-apart mounting points can each extend outwardly from the front surface in the first direction. Each mounting point can be configured to be inserted into a receptacle of at least one of the tools to attach the at least one of the tools to the handheld device.

A hydraulic thruster for vessel. The hydraulic thruster is intended for incorporation into a modular vessel thruster system, and is easily installed onto, and removed from, a vessel having such system. A housing is tiltably attached to a bracket, which in turn is removably mounted to a vessel.

The invention relates to a human body physiological parameter monitoring method based on human face recognition, applied to a workstation. The human body physiological parameter monitoring method is characterized by comprising the following steps of (1) performing continuous image sampling through image collecting devices, uploading the sampled images to a background server, and when a certain image collecting device detects that a person appears, entering a step (2); and (2) through a human face recognition algorithm, contrasting the person detected in the step (1) to a registered person sample which is prestored in the background server by the background server, if the current person is the registered object, storing the current physiological parameter information of the person into thedatabase of the person for subsequent analysis by the background server, and if the current person is an unregistered object, ignoring the person. The detection efficiency and the accuracy of the human body physiological parameter monitoring method based on human face recognition, applied to a workstation are greatly improved.
