  • Publication number: 20240109472
    Abstract: The present invention extends to wagons with a bathroom module and standalone bathroom modules. A bathroom module includes a water heater connected to a sink, a shower, and a toilet. The bathroom module further includes a protective layer on the exterior and an exhaust fan to facilitate the management of moisture that may build up within the bathroom module. The bathroom module can be connected to various systems provided by a wagon, such as water, gas, electrical, A/C, heat, and sewer systems connected to external sources. Alternatively, the bathroom module can standalone and include its own water, gas, electrical, A/C, heat, and sewer systems connected to external sources. Thus, when paired with a companion wagon, the bathroom module may be installed or removed as desired.

  • Publication number: 20210332605
    Abstract: The present invention extends to a double canopy covered wagon. Interior canopy frame supports support an interior canopy over a portion of a wagon flooring surface and under larger exterior canopy frame supports. The exterior canopy frame supports support an exterior canopy over the interior canopy. Including interior and exteriors canopies increases insulation relative to a single canopy. Further, since the exterior canopy frame supports are larger than the interior canopy frame supports, air can flow between the interior and exterior canopies. Air flow between the canopies in combination with increased insulation facilitates more effective climate control inside a wagon.

  • Publication number: 20160274321
    Abstract: Optical modules as used in various types of communication systems are formed to include a flexible substrate to support various optical, electronic, and opto-electronic module components in a manner that can accommodate various packaging constraints. The flexible substrate is formed of a polyimide film is known to exhibit excellent electrical isolation properties, even though the films are generally relatively thin (on the order of 10-100 ?ms, in most cases). The flexible polyimide film is sized to accommodate the constraints of a given package “footprint”; more particularly, sized to fit an open ‘floor area’ within package, allowing for a populated film to be placed around various other “fixed-in-place” elements . The polyimide film is easily cut and trimmed to exhibit whatever topology is convenient, while providing enough surface area to support the affixed components and associated optical fiber traces.
