Abstract: A method of minimizing C-Rate fluctuations with an electrically powered accessory (EPA) is disclosed. The EPA is configured to be used with at least one of a vehicle, a trailer, and a transport container that has a first controller. The EPA has a second controller. The method includes determining, by the first controller, a first C-Rate of a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS). Also, the method includes comparing the first C-Rate to a first predetermined threshold. The method also includes when the first C-Rate exceeds the first predetermined threshold, the first controller sending a first request to the second controller to adjust a load of the EPA. The method further includes the second controller determining a first operational mode of the EPA based on the first request. Also the method includes when the first operational mode of the EPA allows a load change, the second controller adjusting the load of the EPA.

Abstract: Two problems with existing electronically controlled mixing valves for domestic use is their size and difficulty accessing and repairing them. Their size means that they often become hidden behind wall linings, and because of the way in which they are plumbed into the pipework of a house, they are difficult to access and remove for repair or replacement. Disclosed is a compact and replaceable mixing valve cartridge that can be mated to a fixed fitting that is permanently plumbed into the pipework of a house. The compact size allows the cartridge to be positioned behind the type of removable face plates that are often installed over existing manually operated mixing valves. Simplified valve actuators and a compact mixing and temperature sensing configuration have facilitated the compact size. The valve cartridge can simply be accessed, unbolted and removed, without the need for extensive plumbing re-work.

Abstract: There is described a ventilation system for a boat. The windshield body comprises an air scoop in a bottom portion of the windshield body, facing a forward direction of the boat for air entry, the air scoop having an entry which is substantially horizontal and the air scoop extending upwardly within the windshield body to form a conduit having an upward component. The conduit end opens toward an inside of the boat, at a location higher than the entry of the air scoop. A hingeable vent can be installed on the opening inside the boat to be open or closed. The vent may also be sued with a direct opening with the outside. In this case, flaps can be installed in the opening. The flaps can be hingeable about their own respective hinge axis, and move together using a solid link. The flaps may be used without the vent.
