Abstract: Some embodiments include a system comprising: a first control logic configured to receive a first trigger and generate a second trigger in response to the first trigger the second trigger having a delay relative to the first trigger of a configurable number of cycles of a counter of the first control logic; a second control logic configured to receive the second trigger and generate a third trigger in response to the second trigger the third trigger having a delay relative to the second trigger of a configurable number of cycles of a counter of the second control logic; and a third control logic configured to receive the second trigger and generate a fourth trigger in response to the second trigger the fourth trigger having a delay relative to the second trigger of a configurable number of cycles of a counter of the third control logic. A particle beam may be accelerated in response to the triggers.

Abstract: An articulated vehicle including two wheeled sections hinged together in the middle of the vehicle by a universal movement joint enabling relative pivoting about three axes extending at right angles to each other through the center of the vehicle. A hydraulically operated strut and a hydraulically operated cylinder/jack extend between the two vehicle sections. The strut is universally pivoted at its ends to the two vehicle sections to control the relative pivoting of the two vehicle sections while, the cylinder is trunnion mounted to one end and bolted to the other to permit vertical articulation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A bucket and blade assembly has a bucket with opposing side walls, a bottom floor, and a back wall with a centrally located cylinder rod mount. Concentric cylinders ranging from smallest to largest form a telescoping hydraulic cylinder in which the smallest has a cylinder rod mount coupling disposed at one end for engaging the cylinder rod mount. The largest cylinder is engaged in a floating trunnion mount cylinder. The blade is slidably disposed within the bucket with a capped cylinder disposed thereon having an opening into the capped cylinder for accommodating the largest cylinder opposite the rod mount coupling.

Abstract: Containers, lids, and sleeve structures are disclosed. Particularly, sleeve structures configured for insulating, stabilizing, or both insulating and stabilizing a container are disclosed. Further, a sleeve structure including a plurality of circumferentially adjacent, longitudinally extending sections and a sleeve structure including one or more frustoconical regions are disclosed. Containers, lids, and sleeve structures including at least one stabilizing feature are disclosed. Assemblies including a lower container, associated lid and sleeve structure, wherein at least one of the lower container, the lid, or the sleeve structure includes at least one stabilizing feature for engaging at least a portion of a sleeve structure associated with an upper container, wherein the upper container is positioned longitudinally above and is substantially aligned or centered with respect to a lower container, are disclosed.
