Abstract: A turbocharger system for diesel trucks includes a compressor in gaseous communication with an engine; a turbine in gaseous communication with the engine via an exhaust manifold; the compressor intakes and compresses air to be pushed to the engine; an air compressor with one or more air tanks, the air compressor to pressurize and store air; one or more pipes connecting the air compressor to the exhaust manifold; a solenoid valve to open and close the one or more pipes between the air compressor and the exhaust manifold; and a control system to operate the solenoid valve; a command from the control system to the solenoid valve opens the solenoid valve to push air from the air compressor to the exhaust manifold to expand and speed up a turbo of the engine.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack includes an endplate assembly having a structural endplate. An insulator plate has a second exterior surface contacting a first interior surface of the structural endplate and a second interior surface on an opposite side of the insulator plate. A third plate has a third exterior surface contacting the second interior surface and a third interior surface on an opposite side of the third plate relative to the insulator plate. The third interior surface and third exterior surface are substantially flat. The second interior surface and the third exterior surface contact each other substantially continuously in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction, and are flat and substantially parallel to each other. The second exterior surface is contoured such that the second exterior surface is not flat and is substantially non-parallel relative to the third interior surface.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack includes an endplate assembly of a fuel cell system which includes a structural endplate having a first exterior surface and a first interior surface located on an opposite side of the endplate relative to the first exterior surface. An insulator plate has a second exterior surface contacting the first interior surface of the structural endplate and second interior surface on an opposite side of the insulator plate relative to the second exterior surface. A third plate has a third exterior surface contacting the second interior surface and a third interior surface on an opposite side of the third plate relative to the insulator plate. The third interior surface and third exterior surface are substantially flat such that third interior surface and the third exterior surface are about parallel to each other.

Abstract: A multidirectional windsock style decoy may include a body bag having a decoy head hole along a front end, a wind entry hole along a side, and an interior housing. A stay open collar may keep the wind entry hole open. The decoy may further include a back support having a top side, a bottom side, a front face and a back side a decoy head having a back side. The back side of the decoy head may connect to the front face of the back support. The decoy head may close off the decoy head hole. At least one side support may connect to the top side and the bottom side of the back support. The side support may extend out towards the stay open collar. A stake may be connected to the body bag and secured in place at a particular height off the ground.

Abstract: A modular step system for in-ground swimming comprising a bottom central hub, a brace assembly, a top central hub, a tread support assembly, a step form and a liner. The components of the modular step system interlock and snap together without fasteners. Also, the components of the modular step system are obtained by molding plastic material or curing of a curable material. The modular step system is installed on a level concrete floor of a swimming pool and designed to be rigidly fixed from behind to adjacent pool walls. The modular step system is adaptable to a pool having a vinyl liner, structurally sound regardless of size, easy to assemble, consistent in size, and cost-effective.

Abstract: The accessory support device is mechanically integrated into a musical instrument and provides a platform to which another instrument such as a cymbal, bell or woodblock, or an instrument accessory, such as a microphone, electronic triggering device, sheet music holder, wireless transmitter etc., may be mechanically applied.

Abstract: A method including the steps of digitizing a first radio frequency signal at a first clock rate to produce a first digitized signal, digitizing a second radio frequency signal at a second clock rate to produce a second digitized signal, performing a first signal quality measurement indicative of the signal quality of the first digitized signal, performing a second signal quality measurement indicative of the signal quality of the second digitized signal, and selecting one of the first and second digitized signals based on the first and second signal quality measurements.
