  • Publication number: 20250376052
    Abstract: A charge dispenser device to charge battery electric machines (BEMs) includes multiple charger input receptacles to receive electrical energy from multiple charger devices; a cable connector configured to connect to a charging cable, wherein the charging cable is connectable to the BEM; and a dispenser controller. The dispenser controller is configured to receive an indication from a fleet controller of a fleet management unit to start a charging session with the BEM; determine when the BEM is connected for charging; receive charging information for the BEM; activate a multiple number of charger devices for the charge dispenser to receive charging energy from the charger devices in parallel, and deliver the charging energy to the BEM during the charging session; change the number of charger devices activated during the charging session; and send an indication to the fleet controller when charging of the BEM is complete.

  • Patent number: 4199990
    Abstract: The invention relates to accelerometers comprising a vibrating elastic body associated with an electrical oscillator for maintaining its oscillations and a frequency measuring device for measuring its frequency. More particularly, the invention relates to an accelerometer in which the vibrations are in the form of elastic surface waves propagated along one face of a wafer of piezoelectric material cemented to a substrate. Measurement of the acceleration is based on the measurement of a frequency deviation or phase shift undergone by the elastic surface waves.
