  • Publication number: 20240141524
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for electrolyte solution production can be provided so that a modular production can be provided. The modular electrolyte production can be provided so that the production system is mobile for being used in multiple different plants at different geographical locations that are remote from each other. Embodiments can be configured so that electrolyte production is made for a plant specific application that provides an electrolyte solution having a pre-selected concentration of at least one electrolyte for use in at least one electrolyzer of the plant. The production can be mobile so it can be provided at different sites to make the same type of solutions or different solutions specific to the needs of the plants it may support. Some embodiments can utilize an electrolyte material handling device that also modular and mobile. Other embodiments can be configured to utilize an on-site electrolyte material handling device.

  • Publication number: 20240066990
    Abstract: Remote power supply systems are provided for motor vehicles. The remote power supply systems may power auxiliary devices separate from the vehicle. Exemplary remote power supply systems may include one or more exportable power outlet boxes that include electrical power outlets for connecting the auxiliary devices. The electrical power outlets may be powered by a generator system of the vehicle. A control module associated with the remote power supply system may command one or more vehicle-specific actions designed to reduce the realized sound level at one or more nearby areas of interest when operating the vehicle in a power generation mode.

  • Publication number: 20200229645
    Abstract: A food delivery container including a plurality of insulated walls that form a food chamber, and a climate control system. The climate control system includes an air flow pathway and a heating and/or cooling element positioned within the air flow pathway. A fan is in air flow communication with the food chamber through a first inlet opening and a first outlet opening in the one of the plurality of insulated walls. The fan is configured to draw in air from the food chamber through the first inlet opening and push air into the food chamber through the first outlet opening such that air travels through the air flow pathway and over the cooling and/or heating element to circulate heated/cooled air within the food delivery container. The climate control system also includes a power supply configured to supply electrical power to the fan and the cooling/heating element.

  • Patent number: 10040660
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses regarding an improved product dispenser are provided herein. The product dispenser includes a housing and a photoelectric power device disposed on an external surface of the housing. The product dispenser may include a power storage device configured to store energy provided via the photoelectric power device. The product dispenser may also include a motor or pump configured to operate to provide a dispense of the product. The product dispenser components, including the photoelectric power device, the power storage device, and the electric motor may be aligned to operate at a system voltage such that no voltage adjustment relative to an output of the photoelectric power device is needed. This reduces electric power losses. The product dispenser may be configured to perform an installation routine to aid in proper placement of the product dispenser with respect to receiving light for powering the photoelectric power device.

  • Patent number: 5825868
    Abstract: A telephone central office switch (103) provides Centrex features, including intercom dialing, on central-office-to-PBX (133, 134) trunks (123, 124) by using the 4-wire subscriber feature of the Lucent Technologies 5ESS.RTM. switch to administer trunk ports (113-114) that serve the central-office-to-PBX trunks as 4-wire telephone lines and then further administering those trunk ports for Centrex features. Those trunk ports, and optionally also some line ports (115-116), may be administratively assigned the private network numbering plan of respective PBXs so as to enable intercom dialing among those trunk ports, and between those trunk ports and the optional line ports.

  • Patent number: 5122662
    Abstract: A compact circular magnetic induction accelerator (betatron) for use as a borehole gamma ray source includes a field magnet and generally circular pole pieces composed of a class of ferrite having the general formula M.sup.2+ Fe.sub.2.sup.3+ O.sub.4, where M represents two or more divalent metal ions from the group consisting of Mn, Zn and Ni. The core magnet is in the form of two symmetrical closed loops, with one leg of each loop passing axially through the circular pole pieces. The field coil and the core coil may be arranged in series or in parallel, and switching circuits are provided for effecting electron beam capture and ejection. In an illustrative borehole application, the betatron is used as a gamma ray source in a bulk density logging tool.
