  • Publication number: 20260061862
    Abstract: An industrial battery design for use in a material handling vehicle. The battery includes a controller and a charger connector port connectable to a charger device to charge the battery. The charger connector port includes a proximity sensor and a temperature sensor communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller includes circuitry configured to prevent movement of the material handling vehicle when the proximity sensor indicates that the charger device is connected to the charger connector port, provide an indication of an incomplete connection between the charger device and the charger connector port based on data received from the proximity sensor, and provide an indication indicating that the charger connector port has a change in condition based on temperature data received from the temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20120054946
    Abstract: An undergarment having mating fasteners on opposing sides of front and rear panels and an elasticized waistband on each panel, thereby allowing easy and quick removal and attachment, in which the rear panel has a left panel and a right panel attached on respective sides to a portion of a center panel that connects to a bottom edge of the front panel thereby creating a bridge between the front and rear panel, providing the wearer with independence and a sense of self-confidence due to the wearer's ability to dress or to use a bathroom without assistance. Thus, the undergarment provides a wearer with a feeling of normalcy while eliminating the embarrassment associated with exposure of intimate body parts.

  • Patent number: 7081316
    Abstract: A bipolar plate assembly for use in a PEM fuel cell having an anode plate and a cathode plate together to define flow fields on the exposed faces thereof and a coolant volume therebetween. Each of the flow fields have a transverse inlet leg in fluid communication with the inlet header, a serpentine flow field extending from the transverse inlet leg and a transverse exhaust leg in fluid communication with the exhaust header. The plates further define a tortuous coolant flow path in the coolant volume.
