Abstract: Present embodiments provide a console refrigerator for use in a vehicle. More specifically, but without limitation, present embodiments provide a console refrigerator which may be easily integrated into a vehicle compartment or console for cooling of various items including, but not limited to, food, drink, or medicine.

Abstract: A robot or other device capable of movement includes a local position module and an RF communication module, the RF communication module being configured to communicate with RF anchor points to conduct one or more of navigation, positioning, exploration, tracking, and mapping. The robot or other device can include a transceiver configured to communicate with fixed location RF anchor points and a relative odometry unit. The robot or other device also can include a localization and navigation system that can conduct bearing measurements, which can be two-way bearing measurements, between the robot and one or more of the RF anchor points and integrates the bearing measurements with odometry measurements to navigate an environment of the RF anchor points.

Abstract: The electric machine comprises at least one winding (30) having at least one conductor (20) and electrical insulation for insulating one or more of the windings (30) and/or conductors (20), wherein the insulation is formed by a metal oxide. The method for producing such an electric machine having at least one winding (30) having at least one conductor (20) comprises the steps of metallizing the at least one winding (30) and/or conductor (20) with metal and oxidizing the metal. The aircraft is in particular an electric or hybrid-electric aircraft and has such an electric machine (10).

Abstract: A shield system for an electric power transmission tower includes a plurality of panels configured to be secured to a cross-arm structure of the tower in adjacent, end-to-end arrangement so as to overlie insulators supported by the tower and prevent excrement from birds nesting and/or congregating on the tower from contacting and accumulating on the insulators. Each panel has opposite ends and opposite lateral edges extending between the opposite ends. A plurality of spaced-apart apertures are formed in each panel adjacent each of the lateral edges and at least one of the ends, and each aperture is configured to receive a respective fastener therethrough for securing the panel to the cross-arm structure. Each panel has a shape that generally conforms to a shape of a portion of the cross-arm structure to which the panel is secured.

Abstract: Systems and methods to maintain constant pressure within a chamber within a tool via a sliding seal, wherein the seal moves to increase or decrease the size of the chamber.

Abstract: Utilizing a fluid flow rate within a tool to close and open a vent extending through a circumference of the tool. The vent may be positioned above a packer pair that is configured to extend across an annulus. The tool may include a vent, sliding sleeve, adjustable member, and plunger.
