Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) charging cable for charging electric vehicles is described. The EV charging cable includes power conductors, a ground conductor, and a signal conductor. The EV charging cable further includes hard metal cordages within the EV charging cable and cut resistant plastic cordages that are positioned about the hard metal cordages respectively. The EV charging cable further includes a cable jacket that surrounds the interior components of the cable.

Abstract: A charging connector adapter is nested within a holster of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). In an idle state, the adapter is locked to a charging connector of a charging cable. If the adapter is to be used, the EVSE automatically unlocks the adapter from the holster thereby allowing the charging cable with the adapter to be removed from the holster and used for connecting the adapter to an inlet of an electric vehicle. When the charging connector is inserted back into the holster, the EVSE locks the charging connector to the holster. If the adapter is not to be used, the EVSE unlocks the charging connector from the adapter thereby allowing the charging connector to be removed from the adapter and used for connecting to an inlet of an electric vehicle. The EVSE locks the charging connector to the adapter when inserted back into the adapter.

Abstract: A cable tether for managing an electric vehicle charging cable is described. The cable tether comprises a housing that houses a spring clamp and a compression pad. The housing including an opening for the electric vehicle charging cable to pass through. The spring clamp includes two openings that allow a shaft member attached to an arm of the electric vehicle charging station to pass through, where a first segment of the spring clamp includes a first opening of the two openings and a portion that extends into the first opening, and where the portion that extends into the first opening slots into a cutout portion of the shaft member as the shaft member is passed through the two openings to latch the spring clamp onto the shaft member. The compression pad that is attached to the housing of the cable tether for gripping the electric vehicle charging cable.

Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) includes a thermal management system that includes a dual-sided heatsink that includes a first side that faces internal ambient air of the EVSE and a second side that faces external ambient air. A first fan circulates the internal ambient air of the EVSE across the first side to reject heat from the internal ambient air into the first side. A first airflow guide guides the internal ambient air across the first side of the dual-sided heatsink. A second fan draws external ambient air that flows across the second side to reject heat from the second side out of the thermal management system. A second airflow guide guides the external ambient air across the second side. An airflow seal prevents the external ambient air and the internal ambient air from mixing.

Abstract: A cable management apparatus of an electric vehicle charging station for managing an electric vehicle charging cable is described. The cable management apparatus comprises a housing and a swing arm. The housing houses a hub connected to a swing arm housing to allow the swing arm housing to rotate about the hub from a starting position to an ending position. The housing further houses a damper, where a first end is attached to the housing of the cable management apparatus and a second end is attached to the swing arm housing to manage retraction of the swing arm housing. The housing further houses a first rotation stop element to prevent the swing arm housing from rotating beyond the ending position. The cable management apparatus further comprises the swing arm housing connected to the housing of the cable management apparatus by the hub and the second end of the damper.

Abstract: A cap assembly for a drug delivery device is described that includes a cap housing defining an internal cavity and a remover configured to be insertably mounted within the internal cavity of the cap housing and having a sidewall with a generally annular configuration. A plurality of retention portions of the remover extend radially inwardly from the sidewall within the internal cavity, such that the plurality of retention portions are configured to grip a needle shield inserted through the remover within the internal cavity of the cap housing. A drug delivery device is also described that includes a cap assembly kit including a cap housing having an internal cavity sized to interchangeably receive one of a first remover or a second remover, where the first remover is configured to receive a first type of needle shield and the second remover is configured to receive a second type of needle shield.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for obtaining and maintaining correct alignment of body structure. In one embodiment of the invention, a head band is utilized that places light pressure on the erector spinae and sub occipital muscles below the occiput to relax the muscles that caused the counter clockwise rotation and light pressure is maintained to correct the misalignment of the atlas and occipital condyles. In another embodiment of the invention, the atlas is centered by applying manual gentle pressure to relax the muscles that caused the counter-clockwise rotation. Once relaxed, light pressure is manually applied to correct the misalignment of the atlas and occipital condyles. Gentle pressure can also be applied to the muscles that tightened as a result of the misplaced atlas until the muscles relax. The relaxation of muscles in this manner tends to also allow other misplaced body structure to return to its original position once the buildup of fasciitis is manually released.

Abstract: A reporting engine for searching data in relational databases enables data retrieval through simple user input objects while respecting the business logic and security logic of the relational database. The reporting engine includes a template that expands user-input objects to search an exposed object network that is located in an application layer of the relational database. The reporting engine also displays the search results in output report format.
