  • Publication number: 20240131894
    Abstract: A reefer truck power unit employs a plurality of power sources including roof mounted solar panels, momentum generation, shore power and high capacity storage batteries. The refrigeration system is configured for refrigerating a payload area of the vehicle utilizing power from the power sources, and employs a voltage converter for augmenting the power from the propulsion vehicle source for use with a native vehicle charging//starting system, and a transport load transformer for converting power from the power sources to 3 phase power for powering the refrigeration system. A bank of batteries stores power from the sources for subsequent dispersal to the refrigeration unit.

  • Publication number: 20220287897
    Abstract: An exercise device includes one or more connectors adapted to be releasably coupled to a patient support apparatus; a patient-contacting portion adapted to contact a portion of the patient's body and to be resistively moved between a first position and a second position; a first location transceiver; and a sensor adapted to automatically detect movement of the patient-contacting portion between the first and second positions. The exercise device may also include a wireless transceiver adapted to transmit movement data derived from the sensor to a recipient device. In some embodiments, the exercise device is part of a system that includes a patient support apparatus and a second location transceiver positioned thereon. The location transceivers allow a controller to determine if the exercise device is currently coupled to the patient support apparatus or not, and/or to automatically pair the exercise device to the patient support apparatus for wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 10877535
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a chipset component configured to implement one of two hardware architectures, and a power button circuit coupled to the chipset component. The power button circuit receives an input signal from an assertion of a power button. The power button circuit further determines that the chipset implements the first hardware architecture and provides a first output signal to the chipset component in response. The first output signal is based on the input signal. The power button circuit further determines that the chipset component implements the second hardware architecture, and provides a second output signal to the chipset component in response. The second output signal is based on the input signal for a first predetermined time, followed by a pulse to the chipset component for a second predetermined time.
