  • Publication number: 20240080965
    Abstract: A method for producing a neutrons includes triggering a raising or a lowering of a temperature of a pyroelectric crystal of less than about 40° C. to produce a voltage of negative polarity of at least ?100 keV on a surface of a deuterated or tritiated target coupled thereto. A deuterium ion source is pulsed to produce a deuterium ion beam. The accelerating of the deuterium ion beam is achieved by accelerating voltage of the pyroelectric crystal toward the deuterated or tritiated target to produce neutrons. Furthermore, the pyroelectric crystal, the deuterated or tritiated target, and the deuterium ion source are coupled to a common support. The method also includes throwing the common support housing the pyroelectric crystal, the deuterated or tritiated target, and the deuterium ion source near an unknown threat for identification thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230356940
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis and a body supported by the chassis. The body defines a collection chamber that is configured to store refuse therein. The body includes a bottom wall and a sub-frame assembly. The sub-frame assembly includes a pair of frame rails and a plurality of cross-members. The pair of frame rails is coupled to the bottom wall and extending in a longitudinal direction along the bottom wall. The plurality of cross-members is engaged with the bottom wall and extend in a lateral direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each of the plurality of cross-members extends through the pair of frame rails. The plurality of cross-members each has a uniform cross-sectional shape along their entire length.

  • Publication number: 20230356938
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a hydraulic system. The body is coupled with the chassis and includes a first frame rail and a second frame rail. The hydraulic system includes a pump, a hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic line. The pump is configured to pressurize a fluid. The hydraulic cylinder is configured to receive the fluid and extend or retract. The hydraulic line is configured to fluidly couple with an outlet of the pump and an inlet of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic line is configured to extend laterally through the first frame rail by fluidly coupling with a connector that extends through an opening in the first frame rail. A portion of the hydraulic line extends in a longitudinal direction between the first frame rail and the second frame rail from the connector to the hydraulic cylinder.

  • Patent number: 10302625
    Abstract: Provided are methods for determining the level of microglial activation in the brain of a subject by measuring blood Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), Prostaglandin F2?, or both, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) concentrations in a sample obtained from a subject, wherein the ratio of [PGE2]/[CRP], [PGF2?]/[CRP], or both, is indicative of the level of microglial activation in the brain of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20130110646
    Abstract: A computer system manages a network of electronic advertising billboards through a wireless telecommunications system. The electronic billboard management system is comprised of a web-site supported by a global computer network. This web-site communicates with the network of electronic billboards via wireless telecommunications. Once the purchaser has logged in to the website, he or she has access to the Purchase Advertising System, Upload Advertising System, the Account Support System, and the Advertising Design System. Using the Purchase Advertising System, a purchaser can select the number of electronic billboards, the geographic areas, and the times in which he or she wishes to advertise. The Advertising Design System is a graphics art computer program that can create a variety of still or animated images. Once a purchaser has created an advertisement, he will then access the Upload Advertising System to place his or her advertisements into action.

  • Patent number: 7956576
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a rechargeable battery pack can be configured to power an electronic device having a first battery. The rechargeable battery pack can comprise a second battery supplemental to the first battery, an external power input configured to couple to an external power source, a power output for powering the electronic device. The rechargeable battery pack can also comprise a first circuit comprising a first power path between the external power input and the power output, a second power path between the second battery and the power output, and a power switch set. When the external power source is decoupled from the external power input, the first power path is disabled by the power switch set, and the second power path is enabled by the power switch set. When the external power source is coupled to the external power input, the first power path is enabled by the power switch set, and the second power path is disabled by the power switch set. Other examples and embodiments are described herein.

  • Patent number: 7656120
    Abstract: A power supply system capable of providing electric power to an electronic device having a first battery includes a battery pack (100) and an attachment apparatus (300). The battery pack includes a body (110) having at least a first recess (221), a second battery inside the body, and at least one of a first circuit (500) capable of dynamically changing a charge current supplied to the second battery based on a power consumption level of the electronic device, and a second circuit (600) capable of dynamically switching the electronic device between a recharging state and a non-recharging state depending on a status of the battery pack. The attachment apparatus includes a frame (310), an extension (350) protruding from the frame, and attachment features (461) suitable for working with the recess to attach the battery pack and the attachment apparatus to each other and to the electronic device.
