Abstract: A process and apparatus for electrolyte solution production can be provided so that a modular production can be provided. The modular electrolyte production can be provided so that the production system is mobile for being used in multiple different plants at different geographical locations that are remote from each other. Embodiments can be configured so that electrolyte production is made for a plant specific application that provides an electrolyte solution having a pre-selected concentration of at least one electrolyte for use in at least one electrolyzer of the plant. The production can be mobile so it can be provided at different sites to make the same type of solutions or different solutions specific to the needs of the plants it may support. Some embodiments can utilize an electrolyte material handling device that also modular and mobile. Other embodiments can be configured to utilize an on-site electrolyte material handling device.

Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

Abstract: A speaker can have a main body with a generally spheroidal shape, which can be supported standing on its end. The speaker can include a subwoofer that faces forward. A plurality of mid-range drivers can be distributed around the sub-woofer, facing generally forward and radially outward. A plurality of tweeters can be distributed around the sub-woofer, facing generally forward and generally outward. The outer housing portion of the speaker can be covered with a fabric material. A user interface ring 162 can be touch sensitive to receive input, and can have a plurality of lights that can be illuminated separately to convey information to the user.

Abstract: A charge handle, according to some examples, for electrically charging an electric vehicle comprises a housing and a movable core with fluid, electrical, and data connectors that engage with a charge port on the vehicle. A drive mechanism moves the core between disengaged and engaged positions relative to the housing to extend or retract the connectors. A latching mechanism secures the housing to the vehicle when engaged and releases the handle when disengaged. The fluid connectors provide cooling fluid circulation, the electrical connectors deliver charging current, and the data connector enables communication. The sequenced engagement and disengagement of the connectors by the drive mechanism ensures safe connection under load. The latching mechanism allows self-contained engagement forces without pushing on vehicle body components.

Abstract: Example devices and methods for compensating for monitoring a surge protection device are provided. In some embodiments, a device is configured to couple to a surge protection device. The device comprises a processor that is capable of sending a DC current signal. A serial data interface is electrically connected to the processor and includes at least one shift register. The device also comprises a multiplexer coupled to the serial data interface. The serial data interface is operable to direct the DC current through the multiplexer. The device also comprises an analog to digital converter (optionally embedded within the processor) that is operable to output a digital signal corresponding to a voltage induced by the DC current signal. Returned DC signals represent surge protection device’s health and a multitude of other surge module information.

Abstract: A cosmetic preparation system may provide a diagnostic or shade matching tool, a dispenser unit, and a mixer unit. The diagnostic or shade matching tool may identify a user skin type and customize one or more ingredients to create a custom blend composition. The dispenser unit may dispense ingredients and prepare the custom blend composition in containers of various sizes. The mixer unit may provide a mixing assembly to mix the one or more ingredients using gyroscopic mixing.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a first set of static lighting information associated with a first static lighting setup and a second set of static lighting information associated with a second static lighting setup. The first set of static lighting information and the second set of static lighting information are associated with a scene to be rendered. A first set of global illumination information is precomputed based on the first set of static lighting information. A second set of global illumination information is precomputed based on the second set of static lighting information. The first and second sets of global illumination information are blended to derive a blended set of global illumination information. The scene is rendered in a real-time application based on the blended set of global illumination information.
