  • Publication number: 20230243293
    Abstract: A turbocharger and method of controlling the same includes a turbine housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, turbine wheel coupled to a shaft. The turbine housing comprising a first scroll and a second scroll for fluidically coupling the inlet and the turbine wheel. The first scroll has a first end adjacent the inlet and a second end adjacent the turbine wheel. The second scroll has a third end adjacent the inlet and a fourth end adjacent the turbine wheel. An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.

  • Publication number: 20080043471
    Abstract: A night light device that provides low level illumination, which turns on automatically when motion is detected near the device and only if the ambient lighting level is too low. The device operates using battery power and is only activated upon detecting both motion and low ambient light level simultaneously. The device will remain active for a period of thirty seconds unless additional motion is detected, in which case it will remain active for thirty seconds after the last detected motion. Two AA alkaline cells are expected to last for one year at an average of 35 light activations per day, resulting in usability and cost efficiency. The device may also be held in the hand for use as a low-lighting flashlight. Illumination with both functions is provided by a single light source, reducing the energy consumption and cost for the user.

  • Publication number: 20040238007
    Abstract: A decontamination system for victims of chemical, biological, radiological, or other harmful exposure. The system effectively isolates a contaminated patient during a gross washing process and provides the highest level of protection to unit operators that may be dressed in street clothes. The system comprises an isolation apparatus, a washing chamber, an output enclosure, a method of passing a non-ambulatory patient through the system and a waste collection system. The parts of the system may function together as a single, integral unit for mass decontamination at the site of exposure. Further, the system may be used for non-ambulatory and ambulatory humans and/or animals and possibly equipment and other objects.
