  • Patent number: 11549642
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle having a storage assembly for storing and dispensing a pressurized gas. The storage assembly includes a first storage cylinder section and a second storage cylinder section that each have multiple storage cylinders arranged longitudinally parallel to one another in a first layer and at least in a second layer. The storage cylinders are fluidically connected to one another in a meandering manner by a plurality storage cylinder loops. Each of the storage cylinder loops is connected to an axial end of a storage cylinder disposed in the first layer and an axial end of a storage cylinder disposed in the second layer. The storage assembly includes a cross member frictionally connected to the body of the vehicle and arranged in an interstice defined between the first and second storage cylinder sections.

  • Patent number: 10235483
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method (or a system or a non-transitory computer readable medium) for recreating states of an embedded processing unit of a design under test (DUT). In one aspect, a host system configures an emulator to implement the DUT. The DUT includes the embedded processing unit and a memory unit. The host system configures the emulator to execute design instructions for testing an operation of the DUT through the embedded processing unit. The host system receives a stream of values stored by the memory unit of the DUT. The values indicate execution results of the design instructions executed by the embedded processing unit. The host system stores the stream of the values and generates a log file for recreating one or more states of the embedded processing unit based on the stored stream of the values.

  • Patent number: 7819382
    Abstract: A seal for a vessel is disclosed which militates against a leakage of fluid during expansion and contraction of the vessel due to changes pressure and temperature. Inner sealing surfaces of the seal form substantially fluid-tight seals in response to at least one of temperatures below a predetermined temperature and pressures below a predetermined pressure and outer sealing surfaces of the seal form substantially fluid-tight seals in response to at least one of temperatures above the predetermined temperature and pressures above the predetermined pressure.

  • Patent number: 7744127
    Abstract: A fuel tank assembly includes a fuel tank, a bracket carried by the fuel tank and having a portion accessible from the outside of the fuel tank to permit the assembly to be mounted to a vehicle, and an outer layer disposed around at least part of the fuel tank and a portion of the bracket to connect the bracket to the fuel tank. In one implementation, the fuel tank includes layers of composite material that have fibers embedded in resin or the like. The bracket is carried or trapped between adjacent layers of the composite material so that the bracket is fixed to the tank. The bracket preferably is connected to the tank at one end and is flexible in at least one direction to accommodate changes in the shape or dimensions of the fuel tank.
