Abstract: Compressor control systems capable of increasing the reliability and uptime of air compressor systems that operate in harsh corrosive outdoor environments by redundantly sensing one or more operating parameters of the air compressor systems. Such a compressor control system includes a controller adapted to monitor at least a first operating parameter of a component of the air compressor system, at least first and second sensors that are physically separate and spaced apart from each other and that redundantly sense the first operating parameter of a component of the air compressor system, and separate and independent wiring harnesses electrically connecting the first and second sensors to the controller.

Abstract: A driveline system for connecting an on-vehicle PTO shaft to on-vehicle auxiliary equipment installed on a vehicle. The driveline system is adapted for mounting to an undercarriage of a vehicle that includes a transmission, a PTO shaft connected to the transmission near a forward end of the transmission, and auxiliary equipment mounted to the undercarriage aft of the transmission. The driveline system includes a first shaft connected to the PTO shaft via a first U-joint, a second shaft connected to the auxiliary equipment via a second U-joint and to the first shaft via a third U-joint, a bearing installed on the first shaft for supporting the first and second shafts adjacent the third U-joint, and a bracket that is attached to the transmission rearward of the PTO shaft.

Abstract: A jump starter unit for starting large vehicles and other equipment using jumper cable at lengths up to fifty (50) feet. The jump starter includes a high output (200-300 amp) alternator and a large (2000 Farad) capacitor. The alternator is also used to maintain the capacitor's charge when the boost charge is not needed. The alternator and capacitor are integrated into an electrical system that includes an electronic control and a plurality of relays that provide the various charging and boost functions of the unit. In certain embodiments, the jump starter unit may take the form of a portable or mobile self contained apparatus having its own combustion to drive the high output alternator. In other embodiments, the jump starter unit may be integrated into a service vehicle, such as a tow truck or utility vehicle, and utilize the vehicle's engine to drive the jump starter's high output alternator.

Abstract: A pressurized fluid delivery system and method that can be used to interrogate objects, such as the interrogation and detonation of IEDs. The system and method entail pressurizing a liquid within a vessel with a compressed gas source so that the liquid within the vessel is at a pressure above atmospheric pressure. The pressurized liquid, the compressed gas, or a mixture thereof is then selectively delivered to an outlet, and then discharged from the outlet to physically interrogate the object.
