Abstract: A system and method for automated single tank surface treatment, the system including a process tank, a manifold fluidly coupled to the process tank, a controller coupled to the manifold, and a plurality of holding tanks in fluid communication with the process tank via the manifold. The process tank may include a conductive support configured to hold a workpiece to be anodized and electrically coupled to a power supply source, and one or more cathodes electrically coupled to the power supply source, wherein the power supply source is configured to apply a voltage between the one or more cathodes and the workpiece via the conductive support. The system may also include a pH sensor, a temperature sensor, a cooling coil, a heating element, a level sensor, a vacuum outlet, a pressurized air inlet, and a pressure sensor.

Abstract: A bicycle tail light or front light has a mounting base to connect to the bicycle, and an LED light unit for insertion into and removal from the base. The light unit includes a printed circuit board with LED driver and a rechargeable battery, all of which are encapsulated by a direct overmolding that forms a casing for the unit. For charging the light unit is pulled out from the base and plugged into a USB port. A tongue with USB blade at the back of the light unit functions to secure the light unit to the mounting base, and the attachment of the units switches power to the light unit. A motion detector on the PCB shuts off the LED if no motion is detected for several minutes, thus eliminating need for any exterior switch.
