Abstract: A power inverter assembly including first and second power inverter units configured to receive power from at least one energy source, and a portable structural platform to support the units. The units each have a terminals for connection to an electric power system, a solar panel arrangement, and a DC energy storage subsystem. The units are coupled to the platform. The first unit has a first pre-set AC power rating having a first maximum AC power output value for output to the power system and the second unit has a second pre-set AC power rating having a second maximum AC power output value for output to the power system to provide the assembly with a total maximum power output rating based on a combined total of the first and second pre-set AC power ratings. The energy source can include the power system, the solar panel arrangement, and the storage subsystem.

Abstract: A device (2) for an ophthalmological illumination system (1) comprising a light instrument (3) for illuminating the intraocular space of a human or animal eye (33) comprises a housing (4) having a proximal housing end (5), a distal housing end (6), and an opening (7) in the proximal housing end (5). The housing (4) delimits a receptacle space (8), which extends in a manner proceeding from the opening (7) in the proximal housing end (5) along a longitudinal direction (L) in the direction of the distal housing end (6). The receptacle space (8) is configured for receiving the light instrument (3) through the opening (7) in the proximal housing end (5). The housing (4) comprises at least one translucent material at least in the region (10) of the distal housing end (6).

Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method of mapping defects on a data storage medium analyze one or more previously-identified defects on a storage medium to detect any growth in those defects over time, such that any detected growth of a previously-identified defect can be accommodated for through the dynamic remapping of additional surface area adjacent the defect to one or more replacement regions located elsewhere on the storage medium. As such, any buffer regions defined around pre-existing defects are effectively maintained as those defects grow over time, thus maintaining suitable protection from data loss that would otherwise result from an attempt to store information in a region that has been impinged upon as a result of the growth of an adjacent defect.
