Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a slide out solar array having a frame adapted to be fastened to the roof of a vehicle, a first solar panel attached to the frame, a linear rolling support attached to the frame, a second solar panel attached to the linear rolling support, and a vertical drive arm connected to the second solar panel. Embodiments include a wire routing compartment positioned between the frame and the first solar panel as well as raceways and rolling supports positioned within the linear rolling support. The vertical drive arm can be actuated manually by a user or can be actuated when a slide out for a recreational vehicle is extended/retracted.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a recreational vehicle power system are shown and described herein, the system having a transfer switch in AC power connection with an AC power bus and adapted to accept shore power input and generator power input as well as a DC-DC converter in DC power connection with a DC power bus. Additionally, embodiments include a solar charge controller, a bi-directional inverter in AC power connection with the transfer switch, a battery management assembly, and a battery. Preferably, a control module is placed in DC power connection with the DC power bus and in electrical communication with the battery management assembly, solar charge controller, and bi-directional inverter.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a prosthetic socket for use by a patient comprising dispensing a source material to form a layer of material, repeating the dispensing to form a plurality of stacked layers, forming in each one of a subset of the plurality of layers, when dispensing the material, one or more channels, wherein the channels formed in each of the subset of layers communicate with each other to form a complete channel having a selected length and shape, completing the dispensing of the source material to form the prosthetic socket, and filling the channels with a bonding material such that the bonding material strengthens the bond between adjacent ones of the subset of the plurality of layers having the channels formed therein.
