Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a refrigerated cavity, a first compression system, and a second compression system. The refrigeration system further includes a controller configured to operate the refrigeration system in a first mode in which the first compression system and the second compression system operate to cool the refrigerated cavity. The refrigeration system is further configured to selectively operate the refrigeration system in a second mode in which a refrigerant discharged from the second compressor is routed through the first evaporator to defrost the first evaporator.

Abstract: A system and/or method is provided that manages delivery of power for a device and an additional device. The system can include a device that consumes power to refrigerate an item stored therein, wherein the device includes an eutectic plate and an additional device that consumes power. The system can further include a power source that is configured to deliver power and a power manager component that is configured to monitor a temperature within the device. The power manager component can further be configured to activate the power source to deliver power to the device to reach a set temperature, switch the delivery of power from the device to the additional device based on the set temperature being reached, and maintain the set temperature in the device by switching delivery of power from the additional device to the device based on monitoring the temperature.

Abstract: A complexly curved mold and method of fabricating same provides a highly accuate form for producing complexly curved panels such as automobile lights and the like. The mold comprises a lattice-work support or grid having one surface which conforms to the desired contour of the product. The lattice-work comprises and is assembled from a plurality of strips of a material such as stainless steel or similarly relatively high strength material which are arranged in two parallel arrays disposed normal to one another and secured together to form the lattice-work support. A plurality of plates which have been shaped by rolling, bending, or other forming means to conform to areas of the mold define the face of the mold. They are secured to the lattice-work support by suitable means such as welding. The face of the mold may also include a plurality of apertures arranged in a grid through which a vacuum may be drawn to ensure intimate contact between the product and the mold face.
