  • Component control system for a vehicle
    Patent number: 9266518
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, a modular component, and a central operating system. The modular component is supported by the chassis. The central operating system includes a component control system, a primary master controller, and a secondary master controller. The component control system is configured for controlling the modular component. The primary and secondary master controllers are in operative communication with the component control system. The primary and secondary master controllers are configured to simultaneously transmit commands to the component control system. The component control system is configured to accept commands from the secondary master controller only when a fault occurs in the primary master controller.

  • ULTRAVIOLET RADIATED WATER TREATMENT TANK
    Publication number: 20020162969
    Abstract: An ultraviolet radiation water treatment device for a water cooler machine having an ultraviolet lamp housed inside a transparent inner sleeve which is itself disposed inside an outer transparent sleeve. The upper ends of the two sleeves are housed in a short pipe having a peripheral flange which abuts the sides of the cooler's water tank. A water inlet tube enters the top of the tank and passes between the two sleeves to feed water proximate the tank bottom to circulate the influent water up between the two sleeves and down outside the outer sleeve into the reservoir water to accomplish three exposure passes to the bactericidal ultraviolet radiation.
