  • Publication number: 20250113782
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a horticultural light fixture that determines a number of LED strings contained within a lighting fixture. Voltage and current signals are applied to each detected LED string from a power supply. The magnitudes of the voltage and current signals are adjusted to maintain a power magnitude generated by the power supply to a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250033424
    Abstract: An apparatus for removably attaching manual equipment, which includes one wheel, to a power tow vehicle. The apparatus includes a cradle clamp head assembly; a vertical body assembly having a first end and an opposing second end, the cradle clamp head assembly configured to be attached to the vertical body assembly closer to the first end than the second end of the vertical body assembly; and a hitch receiver adapter configured to be attached to the vertical body assembly, while the cradle clamp head assembly is attached to the vertical body assembly, such that the hitch receiver adapter is further from the first end of the vertical body assembly than the cradle clamp head assembly.

  • Patent number: 12207604
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an adaptable vehicle light mount is provided. A recess created within an interior of a heat sink fin array of the vehicle light allows associated mounting hardware to be embedded within the recess. A physical offset between the vehicle light and the associated vehicle may therefore be minimized to provide a shallower mounting profile. A tube may be incorporated into the recess so as to allow one or more vehicle lights to be mounted to a single mount point on a vehicle where the tube and associated mounting hardware are incorporated and function as part of the heat reducing components of the vehicle light.

  • Publication number: 20240310456
    Abstract: A method for determining a state of a fuse in a battery pack is provided. The battery pack comprises a first string comprising a first string fuse; at least one parallel arrangement comprising a battery cell and a resistor; and a first ammeter. The parallel arrangement is configured to be changeable between a connected state wherein the resistor is connected in parallel to the battery cell and a disconnected state wherein the resistor is disconnected from the battery cell. A second string comprising at least one battery cell is connected in parallel to the first string. The method comprises changing the at least one parallel arrangement of the first string to the connected state, and measuring a current passing through the first string. In an event that the change in the first current does not exceed a threshold, the first string fuse is in a blown state.

  • Publication number: 20220379058
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are described to position a tube in a trachea of a patient as part of an intubation procedure. An intubation system may include a stylet configured to position a tube in the trachea of the patient. The stylet may include an articulating segment and a support segment. The articulating segment may be configured to move between a first position and a second position in response to input received by the support segment. The movement of the articulating segment may be controllable by a caregiver. The intubation system may include a handle configured to receive an input from the caregiver and cause the stylet to move in response to the input.
