Abstract: An apparatus may include a set of terminals, a first switch circuit, and a second switch circuit. The set of terminals can include a power supply terminal, a reference terminal, and an intermediate voltage terminal. The first switch circuit, which can include a first set of control inputs and a positive drive terminal, is configured to, responsive to a first set of control signals applied to the first set of control inputs, selectively couple a first terminal of the set of terminals to the positive drive terminal. The second switch circuit, which can include a second set of control inputs and a negative drive terminal, is configured to, responsive to a second set of control signals applied to the second set of control inputs, selectively couple either the first terminal or a second terminal of the set of terminals to the negative drive terminal.

Abstract: In one example, an apparatus comprises a bidirectional switch substrate bias circuit. The bidirectional switch substrate bias circuit comprises: a first switch coupled between a substrate bias terminal and a first switch current terminal, the first switch having a first switch control terminal; a second switch coupled between the substrate bias terminal and a second switch current terminal, the second switch having a second switch control terminal; and a control circuit having first and second inputs and first and second outputs, the first and second inputs coupled to the respective first and second switch current terminals, and the first and second outputs coupled to the respective first and second switch control terminals, the control circuit configured to, responsive to respective states of the first and second inputs, enable one of the first or second switches and disable the other one of the first or second switches.

Abstract: An article of clothing provides workers or users with a modifiable or transformable bottom garment which may be arranged in a functional, work configuration or a more aesthetic, non-work configuration by selectively folding a cover assembly downward or upward relative to the bottom garment. When folded downward, the cover assembly may reveal functional elements such as tool-supporting loops, pockets, etc., and/or may provide an inner surface for the wearer to clean their hands. When folded upward, a pocket is instead formed between the cover assembly and the bottom garment, for the wearer to warm their hands. One or more inserts may be connected to the downward-folded cover assembly to provide additional utilities or functions.

Abstract: A system and method including one or more conduits, a pump system, and a controller. The conduits are fluidly coupled with a cooling device that is operably coupled with an engine to cool at least a portion of exhaust from the engine. The pump system pumps a cleaning fluid from a cleaning fluid source through the one or more conduits and into a flow path of a portion of the exhaust from the engine while the engine continues to operate. The controller monitors operation of the engine and determines whether the engine is operating in a designated state. The controller controls the pump system to pump the cleaning fluid into the flow path of a portion the exhaust from the engine to clean the cooling device while the engine operates in the designated state and the exhaust flows from the engine and through the cooling device.

Abstract: A method that includes coupling an external, removable fuel pressurization system to a fuel system of a vehicle. The fuel system of the vehicle is pressurized with the fuel pressurization system while the vehicle is parked and without activating a fuel consumer (e.g., an engine) of the vehicle. Decay of pressure of the fuel system is monitored following pressurization of the fuel system, and one or more of a leak, or a replaceable component, of the fuel system of the vehicle is detected based on at least in part on the decay of pressure that are monitored.

Abstract: A system and method operate by, while an engine is operating, automatically determining whether the engine is in a designated state for EGR cooler cleaning. The EGR cooler is operably coupled to the engine to receive hot EGR from an exhaust of the engine and to provide cooled EGR to an intake of the engine. The system and method also include, responsive to the engine not being in the designated state, automatically preventing a water pump system from introducing a cleaning liquid into a gas inlet of the EGR cooler.

Abstract: A method that includes coupling an external, removable fuel pressurization system to a fuel system of a vehicle while the vehicle remains in a confined space. The fuel system of the vehicle is pressurized with the fuel pressurization system while the vehicle remains in the confined space and without activating an engine of the vehicle. Decay of pressure of the fuel system is monitored following pressurization of the fuel system, and one or more of a leak, or a replaceable component, of the fuel system of the vehicle is detected based on at least in part on the decay of pressure that are monitored.

Abstract: A thermal heat storage system is provided, including a storage tank, a heat injection system and a heat recovery system. The storage tank holds a material for thermal storage. The heat injection system is coupled to an intake on the storage tank. The heat recovery system is coupled to an output on the storage tank and also uses vapor under depressurized conditions for heat transfer.

Abstract: A level of detail node may hold in a bounding volume hierarchy, an object identifier, a distance at which a transition occurs between levels of detail and a bias. When a level of detail node is encountered in the hierarchy, the distance value may be used to select a level of detail. Sometimes a different level of detail is loaded because the preferred level is not available. The different level may be marked in a register. Then for a subsequence frame, the correct level is used. A node bias may be used to override the level of detail selection is some cases.
