Abstract: A DC monitoring system is configured to measure and analyze VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) operational characteristics. The VFD is configured to receive three-phase input power from a standardized source and to provide variable frequency three-phase output power to a three-phase motor. In some applications, the VFD and motor operate at a medium voltage. The VFD can include multiple inverter modules consisting of a DC section and switching section, also referred to as a multiple bus configuration. The DC monitoring system includes a measurement module coupled to each DC bus of the VFD, a data communication network, and a PQube monitoring device for transmitting data signals corresponding to voltage values of the VFD DC bus obtained in a medium voltage compartment to a low voltage compartment for processing and analysis. Processing of the data signals enables comparative and predictive analysis to determine early warning for possible capacitance failure in the VFD.

Abstract: An on-board pressurized washing system that utilizes a semi-tractor or trailer's compressed air brake line as its source of compressed air. When the tractor is parked, the air brake lines may be disconnected from the trailer and hooked up to the pressurized washing system. The system is fully mobile and does not need an external power source or water line during operation. The water from the water tank and the compressed air are sprayed separately or together from a spray wand to meet cleaning and sanitation needs of truck drivers in any location when they may not have access to electricity or a water source.

Abstract: The presently disclosure describes a system for a providing an assistive driving force to a wheelchair. The system comprises a power assist system which includes a motion sensing system that is configured to detect the motion of the power assist system, and hence of the wheelchair, and a power assist drive system that is configured to provide an assistive drive force. The system also comprises a sensor, such as may be embedded in a wearable wristband, that is configured to detect the motion of a user's hand and that is in communication with the power assist system. The system may be configured to determine whether the wheelchair is being manually pushed based at least in part on the user motion, and to activate an assistive drive force in response to a manual push. The system may also be configured to determine whether the wheelchair is being manually braked based at least in part on the user motion, and to deactivate an assistive drive force in response to a manual brake.

Abstract: The presently disclosure describes a motion assistance system for a wheelchair, for example, a powered drive wheel system that can continually drive a wheelchair in a circular or elliptical path. The motion assistance system comprises a mounting mechanism attachable to one or more structural elements of the wheelchair, and a drive linkage pivotable with respect to the mounting mechanism. A drive wheel can be mounted to an end of the drive linkage such that the drive wheel contacts the ground when installed on the wheelchair. The drive wheel comprises a plurality of lateral rollers positioned radially about the circumference of the power drive wheel. The lateral rollers can rotate about an axis tangential to the circumference of the drive wheel in order to facilitate driving the wheelchair in a radial direction.

Abstract: In one example, a method for method for backing up data begins when a backup notice is received from a node. In response to the notice, a slot is reserved in an accounting system for storage of a cumulative backup. One or more partial backups are then received and merged with any data present in the slot so as to create or modify a cumulative backup in the slot, where the cumulative backup includes the one or more partial backups and any other data in the slot. Upon receipt of an indication that the cumulative backup is final, the cumulative backup is recorded, and access to the cumulative backup enabled.
