Press Releases Vision Marine Technologies Files Patent for Advanced Software-Based Overload Protection in Electric Marine Powertrains
Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company"), a company specializing in electric marine propulsion systems, announced today it filed a new U.S. patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for software-driven overload protection of cooling-pump motors integrated within the Company's proprietary E-Motion™ high-voltage ("HV") powertrain.
The patent introduces smart software within the Company's E-Motion™ HV Electric Marine Powertrain that continuously monitors electrical conditions of the cooling-pump motor. Similar to a home's digital circuit breaker, this system instantly disconnects power when an overload is detected, eliminating the need for traditional hardware fuses. This patent application's approach not only safeguards critical components but also significantly reduces system weight, saves valuable installation space, and simplifies wiring for boat manufacturers, who can easily integrate this advanced protection into their existing designs, whether for single or dual motor setups.
Additionally, the patent pending software-driven system provides considerable operational benefits through continuous digital monitoring and data collection. By capturing detailed performance data, operators receive clear, practical insights that enable proactive maintenance scheduling, significantly reducing downtime and operational disruptions. The digital nature of this proposed solution further allows for remote, over-the-air updates, ensuring vessels continuously receive the latest safety enhancements and regulatory compliance without the need for physical servicing.
"Intelligent thermal management is fundamental to reliable high-power electrification at sea," said Xavier Montagne, Chief Technology Officer at Vision Marine. "By moving overload protection into software, we introduce a superior layer of resilience, significantly reduce hardware complexity for original equipment manufacturers, and help boaters enjoy more time on the water with less maintenance."
This patent application filing further expands Vision Marine's robust intellectual property portfolio and supports the Company's strategic initiative to deliver industrialized, safe, and user-centric electric propulsion solutions to global boat manufacturers and rental fleets. Additionally, this innovation reinforces Vision Marine's direct-to-consumer strategy, building on production agreements with multiple recreational boat manufacturers to bring integrated electric boats-such as the V30 and V24-to market, thereby strengthening the Company's position and demonstrating product readiness.
About Vision Marine Technologies, Inc.
Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) designs and manufactures cutting-edge electric propulsion systems and complete electric boat solutions. The Company's flagship E-Motion™ 180E powertrain is a market-proven, purpose-built, high-voltage electric marine propulsion system powering vessels such as the V30 180 HP Electric Pontoon, now available for order. Vision Marine collaborates with industry-leading OEMs to accelerate the adoption of powerful, maintenance-friendly electric boating solutions worldwide.

Why Cisco Systems Stock Sank on Thursday

Key Points The networking company published the final quarterly earnings report for its fiscal 2025. These showed decent gains in revenue and profitability, but investors were hoping for more. 10 stocks we like better than Cisco Systems › Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) wasn't a particularly popular tech stock on Thursday. Investors sold out of the stock following a quarterly earnings report that some found dissatisfying. This sank the share price by more than 1% on a day when the S&P 500 index basically traded flat. Two slight beats Cisco unveiled its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results just after market close on Wednesday. These revealed that the storied computer networking company managed to boost its revenue by 8% year over year in the former period to $14.67 billion. That was slightly above the consensus analyst estimate of $14.62 billion. Cisco attributed this to growth in overall product orders, which it said was 7% across all its regions. It also flagged artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure products as growth drivers. In the first half of this calendar year, orders for such products topped $2 billion. This is double -- and then some -- management's target of $1 billion for the period. On the bottom line, non-GAAP (adjusted) net income landed at $4 billion, shaking out to $0.99 per share. That was 12% higher than the result for the fourth quarter of 2024, and it edged past the average pundit projection of $0.98. Unsurprising guidance Cisco also proffered guidance for its current (first) quarter and the entirety of fiscal 2026. It's modeling $59 billion to $60 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings per share of $4.00 to $4.06. This is in line with the consensus analyst expectations of, respectively, $59.5 billion and $4.03. While Cisco's quarterly performance certainly wasn't bad, it seems investors were expecting more convincing beats and higher guidance, particularly given that AI tailwind.
