Abstract: In one embodiment, a deployable water treatment system is configured to be placed on a mobile trailer for treating water. The system comprises: a UV-C disinfection system to apply ultraviolet (UV) light to the water; an electro-chlorination apparatus using electricity to convert the water into a sodium hypochlorite solution; particulate filtration modules for particulate filtration of the water; a granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration device to filter the water; and a water quality analysis system. The water quality analysis system includes a water sensor flow cell having sensors to measure water quality parameters of the water to produce data, a data processor to digitize the data for the water quality parameters, and a transmitter to transmit the data from the data processor to a flow controller to be used to control a flow of the water to recirculate the water though the deployable water treatment system or not.

Abstract: An actuator includes a housing, a moving element and two springs connected between the housing and the moving element such that one of the two springs crosses the other of the two rotor springs without contacting the other of the two springs. A drive component causes the moving element to move.

Abstract: The current document is directed to non-linear haptic actuators that use a rotor, rotor-suspension, and spring subsystem to efficiently generate vibrational forces in various types of devices and appliances in which the non-linear haptic actuators are incorporated. Non-linear haptic actuators can be designed and manufactured to be more space efficient than unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules and, because most of the frictional forces produced in unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules are eliminated from non-linear haptic actuators, non-linear haptic actuators are generally more power efficient and robust than unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules.
