Abstract: A hybrid apparatus for charging electric vehicles and mining cryptocurrency is provided. The apparatus may comprise an electric power input associated with a rated maximum power capacity, an electric vehicle charger, a cryptocurrency miner and a power coordinator. The electric vehicle charger may have at least one vehicle power outlet and a maximum charger power draw from the electric power input. The cryptocurrency miner may have multiple cryptocurrency mining computers and a maximum miner power draw from the electric power input. Each mining computer may have an adjustable intensity level. The power coordinator may be configured to determine mining power availability within the rated maximum power capacity after prioritizing power demand by the electric vehicle charger, and to direct the cryptocurrency miner to continue mining cryptocurrency by adjusting the intensity levels of the mining computers such that the cryptocurrency miner consumes not more than the mining power availability.

Abstract: An example printing fluid pressure sensor comprises a first pressurizable chamber having an inlet to receive a pressurized gas and a second chamber to receive a printing fluid. A flexible element is disposed in between the first and second chambers and is to retain a magnet. A first side of the flexible element forms a wall of the first chamber and a second side of the flexible element forms a of the second chamber to seal the first and second chambers. The example sensor further comprises a sensor to detect the position of a magnet relative to the sensor. The sensor is disposed outside of the first and second chambers.

Abstract: The present invention features a dugout organization system for baseball or softball equipment for use by a participant in a dugout. The system features a generally planar chain link fence panel located in an erect position having a plurality of formed chain link fence wires intertwined to form a mesh chain link fence surface. The system features a base member having a top attachment tongue that projects out and away from a base posterior surface. The top attachment tongue features a top attachment tongue first groove located on a top attachment tongue first side and a top attachment tongue second groove located on an opposing top attachment tongue second side. The base member flares from the top attachment tongue forming a first side shoulder on a base first side and a second side shoulder on a base second side and then tapers approaching a base bottom.

Abstract: The present application describes methods and systems for use in a communications network. More specifically, a method of deploying an optical demodulator arrangement having at least one interferometer in a network that transmits an optical signal is provided. The optical signal may include one or more on-off-keyed signals and one or more DMPSK signals. In some embodiments, the DMPSK signal is a DQPSK signal. The network may include one or more of fiber spans carrying the signals. The interferometer may have a first optical path and a second optical path and a time delay is formed between the first and second optical paths. The method may involve determining a cross-talk penalty that results from cross-phase modulation between the channels, and determining a time delay value for the interferometer. The time delay value may be determined based at least in part on determined the cross-talk penalty.

Abstract: An inkjet printing device printhead assembly includes a housing. The housing has a surface. A well is defined within the surface of the housing and is adapted to disposal of a printhead die therewithin. The surface of the housing has one or more grooves. The grooves have ends. Some of the ends are adjacent to the wall. The grooves externally expose the printhead die.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for the detection and mapping of radiation, the device comprising a polymeric core located within an external shell material, wherein the polymeric core comprises at least one radiation sensitive component and the external sheath comprises a collimation sheath. Preferably, the polymeric core comprises a spherical core which is encased within the external shell. The external shell is preferably comprised of a metal, most preferably lead or tungsten.

Abstract: A signal recovery system for a phase modulated signal having a signal spectrum, wherein the phase modulated signal is passed along a communications system (1) having at least one filter (3) so as to define the frequency channel of the communication system. Losses result from the passage of the signal through the at least one filter (3) defining the transmission channel. The signal recovery system recovers at least some of the losses by introducing a relative frequency offset between the signal spectrum and the transmission spectrum of the at least one filter (3) in the communications system.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a device to measure optical properties of a three-dimensional translucent object, and a novel method to use the device to produce a valid, reproducible, and quantitative image of optical properties across the entire volume of the translucent object. The invention provides significant and useful improvements over existing practice. The invention provides a scanning instrument which eliminates the current practice of employing liquid refractive index matching solutions. The invention further provides a new method for reconstructing a three-dimensional image from light transmitted through the entire volume of a three-dimensional translucent object. This is accomplished by accounting explicitly for the bending of the light rays using an alternative method of reconstructing the images known as the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique.
