Abstract: A modular electric power take-off (E-PTO) system for a refuse vehicle includes a modular housing. The modular E-PTO also includes a motor, an inverter, a battery, and a hydraulic pump positioned within the modular housing. The modular housing is removably coupled with a front of a waste receptacle or a hopper of the waste receptacle of a refuse vehicle.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle with modular elements that permit the body of the refuse vehicle to be changed and expanded. The refuse vehicle that includes a chassis and a refuse containment body coupled to the chassis that defines a refuse compartment. The refuse containment body includes a hopper mating portion at a first end of the refuse compartment and configured to couple to a hopper for loading the refuse containment body and a containment wall mating portion at a second end of the refuse compartment and configured to couple to a containment member.

Abstract: A frictional displacement resistant conformal dop assembly is provided. A dop head of the dop can include a ball joint including a hemispherical portion received within a housing, the hemispherical portion having a center of rotation proximal to the surface, such that frictional forces applied perpendicular to a movement of the dop head are not associated with reduced conformity of the dop head to a surface interfacing therewith.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body supported on the chassis, a pump, a tank configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the pump, and a service indicator configured to provide an indication of a fluid level within the tank. The service indicator includes a light, a graphic on a display, or a symbol in an augmented reality overlay. The service indicator is configured to provide the indication of the fluid level within the tank in response to a request signal.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to large area single crystal diamond (SCD) surfaces and substrates, and their methods of formation. Typical large area substrates can be at least about 25 mm, 50 mm, or 100 mm in diameter or square edge length, and suitable thicknesses can be about 100 ?m to 1000 ?m. The large area substrates have a high degree of crystallographic alignment. The large area substrates can be used in a variety of electronics and/or optics applications. Methods of forming the large area substrates generally include lateral and vertical growth of SCD on spaced apart and crystallographically aligned SCD seed substrates, with the individual SCD growth layers eventually merging to form a composite SCD layer of high quality and high crystallographic alignment. A diamond substrate holder can be used to crystallographically align the SCD seed substrates and reduce the effect of thermal stress on the formed SCD layers.

Abstract: A polishing apparatus is provided. Another aspect pertains to a self-leveling polishing apparatus for smoothing diamonds. Yet another aspect of the present system uses a ball and swivel joint in a diamond polishing machine. A further aspect employs a polishing apparatus including a diamond-holder, an elongated arm using gravity to apply downward polishing pressure of the diamond workpiece against a polishing wheel, and a sweeping transmission to cause the holder to radially move across the rotating polishing wheel.

Abstract: A lamp for a vehicle is provided and includes a first lamp module having an interior lens and at least one first light source. The first light source is configured to emit light toward the interior lens. Additionally, a second lamp module is disposed on a first side of the first lamp module and emits light and a third lamp module is disposed on a second side of the first lamp module and emits light and has an emission area that is different from the second lamp module.
