Abstract: An adapter for EV supply equipment (EVSE). The EVSE can have an EVSE connector for charging a PEV. The EVSE connector provides a first connector corresponding to a first charging protocol. The adapter can include a body, a first coupling disposed on the body and configured to engage the first connector, a second coupling disposed on the body and corresponding to a second charging protocol, the body converting the first charging protocol to the second charging protocol, and a lock configured to maintain the body in a locked configuration to the EVSE connector or to the EVSE while allowing the adapter to switch between being locked to the EVSE connector or to the EVSE.

Abstract: A direct cooling method and system in charging system utilizing a water-based conductive fluid. The charging system includes a conductive fluid reservoir that provides conductive fluid to charging system components. The charging system further defines conductive fluid return paths for the conductive fluid. The length of a fluid path is specified to exceed a minimal resistance threshold based on the product of the resistivity and return path length. The system can include the incorporation of feedback loop into the charging system that can measure the electrical resistance of the conductive fluid.

Abstract: A mouth to mouth resuscitator device for use by a rescuer for resuscitating a victim, the device comprising a sheet of flexible material having a top surface and an undersurface, the sheet forming a mouth opening, a hollow substantially rigid tube having an external surface, a first end, a second end and a tube length between the first and second ends, a tube passage aligned at least in part with the mouth opening, the tube extending from the undersurface of the sheet to the second end and a self closing one-way valve located within the tube passage to restrict flow from the second end to the first end of the tube and to allow flow from the first end to the second end when a rescuer exhales air into the mouth opening, wherein the external surface of the tube forms at least one recess at a location along the tube length, the recess for receiving a victim's teeth.

Abstract: A resuscitator device for providing a physical shield between the rescuer and a victim requiring mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The device comprises a flexible sheet having an opening centrally formed therein and a rigid tube secured to the sheet around the periphery of the opening for inserting into the mouth of the victim. A self closing one-way valve is contained in the tube and extends downward from the sheet opening and includes a flexible sleeve normally held closed at the outer end thereof by the action of a spring formed from a strip of rigid and flexible material secured to the outer end of the sleeve. The rescuer exhales a deep breath into the input of the valve via said opening in the sheet, to overcome the resilient force of the spring for discharging forced air into the mouth of the victim. After the rescuer has fully exhaled, the spring strip resiliently closes the valve to prevent any back flow of air, mist or liquid from the victim to the rescuer.
