Abstract: A module maintenance system includes a battery module comprising at least a first battery cell and a second battery cell, and a charging device comprising a bulk output and an equalization output. The battery module has a series configuration and a parallel configuration. In the parallel configuration, the charging device outputs a first voltage to the equalization output to equalize charge levels of the first and second battery cells. In the series configuration, the charging device outputs a second voltage to the bulk output to modify charge levels of the first and second battery cells, wherein the second voltage is greater than the first voltage.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and a method for manufacturing a gypsum board include a forming assembly configured to form the gypsum board to be within a predetermined thickness range and to detect vibration at the forming assembly during the continuous manufacture of gypsum board that is indicative of a hardened lump of slurry that may cause manufacturing process problems being lodged at or passing through the forming assembly. The forming assembly includes first and second forming members, an actuator, a vibration sensor, and a controller. The vibration sensor is arranged with respect to one of the first and second forming members to detect the vibration of said forming member. The controller is programmed to control the actuator to increase the height between the second forming member and the first forming member by a predetermined amount in response to the vibration signal from the vibration sensor satisfying a condition.

Abstract: A method of using a hand-held miniature device for injecting an agent into a tree with continuous pressure that is adjustable. The device features one-thumb on/off switch operation for a metered dose, precise dose measuring, and air-powered injection in a lightweight device. The on/off switch does not need to be held in the on position by a user.
