  • Patent number: 8310211
    Abstract: An auto-regulated motion power system apparatus that may be used to generate usable electricity from disparate energy sources includes a combination of a variable frequency alternator driven by a primary mover and coupled to a load. An energy control module includes a closed-loop feedback system coupled to a pulse width modulation controller and a switch mode rectifier. The alternator has a modulated control signal input having the ability to vary in frequency and voltage with an output having a controlled voltage and varying frequency. The switch mode rectifier accepts variable AC voltages from the alternator and outputs a constant predetermined DC voltage both to one side of the windings of the alternator and to a first side of a high frequency switch. An output on the pulse width modulation generator is connected to a switch control so that when the switch is closed, current flows through the windings of the alternator and when the switch is open, no current flows through the windings.

  • Publication number: 20040081581
    Abstract: A urine specimen cup toxicology indicator cap having a transparent top surface and bottom surface forming a testing cavity, wherein a plurality of reagent test strips, each of which having a reading zone where reactions may be observed, are mounted in a parallel fashion on channels within the test cavity. Fluid contained in a specimen cup, which is attached to the toxicology indicator cap in a fluid tight fashion, may be introduced to the reagent test strips within the test cavity through an aperture in the bottom surface of the toxicology indicator cap when the specimen cup is inverted. Fluid access is to the reagent test strips is controlled by an absorbent material within the aperture which is in contact with the reagent test strips. Returning the specimen cup and toxicology indicator cap to an upright position allows fluid to wick from the absorbent material onto the reagent test strips where reagent-analyte reactions may be observed.
