  • Publication number: 20240095326
    Abstract: A modular biometric station system is used to form one or more modular biometric stations with cohesive form factors. Such biometric stations include a core unit, one or more end caps, and one or more modules. The modules may be configured to communicably and electrically couple to one or more of the end caps. The end caps may be configured to communicably and electrically couple to the core unit and/or one or more of the modules and may communicably and electrically couple one or more of the modules to the core unit. The core unit, end caps, and/or the modules may be able to communicably interact when coupled together. The core unit, end caps, and modules may all share a form factor. The core unit may include hardware and/or software that satisfies common requirements, and the modules may include peripherals and/or other components that can be coupled to the core unit to adapt the modular biometric station to a variety of different needs of different applications.

  • Publication number: 20070107421
    Abstract: A hydraulic system is provided for an engine driven vehicle. The hydraulic system includes a higher pressure engine driven pump for supplying pressurized fluid to a higher pressure circuit via a first supply line. The system also includes a lower pressure engine driven pump for supplying lower pressure fluid to a lower pressure circuit via a second supply line. The system also includes a pressure responsive relief valve. The relief valve has a sensing port connected to the first supply line, an inlet connected to the first supply line, and an outlet connected to the second circuit via the second supply line. The relief valve opens when a demand of the higher pressure circuit is satisfied. A cut-off valve controls communication between the high pressure circuit and a reservoir, and a control unit controls the cut-off valve as a function of operation of the high pressure circuit.
