Abstract:
Systems and methods may (i) determine, for a first device, a first setting associated with a first rate at which fluid is supplied to a first container in which the first device resides and (ii) determine, for a second device, a second setting associated with a second rate at which fluid is supplied to a second container in which the second device resides. The systems and methods may cause a first valve to adjust such that the first rate of fluid is supplied to the first container, and cause a second valve to adjust such that the second rate of fluid is supplied to the second container. The systems and methods may receive data associated with the first device and determine, for the first device and based on the data, a third setting associated with a third rate at which the fluid is supplied to the first container.
Abstract:
An energy storage system comprising at least one energy storage module adapted to supply electrical energy to a hybrid vehicle. The energy storage module comprises an enclosure, at least one battery array located within the enclosure, and an energy storage controller module located within the enclosure and electrically connected to the battery array. The energy storage controller module is further connected to a hybrid control module of the hybrid vehicle by a low voltage connecter. A high voltage junction box is attached to a first end of the enclosure and having a plurality of high voltage connection terminals. At least one of the high voltage connection terminals is configured to receive a high voltage conductor connected between the energy storage module and an inverter of the hybrid vehicle. When multiple energy storage modules are used in conjunction, one module functions as a master module and one module functions as a slave module.
Abstract:
A method of bonding a polymer film (215, 415, 515) to a mating part (210,410,510), including: placing a mating part in a nest (205, 505); contacting the polymer film and the mating part; heating a die (220, 320, 520) including a thermally conductive silicone to a temperature at or above a glass transition temperature of the polymer film, the mating part, or both; actuating the die onto the polymer film, wherein the thermally conductive silicone contacts the polymer film and bonds the polymer film to the mating part to form a bonded article (240); and actuating the die away from the polymer film.
Abstract:
An apparatus for converting an empty food can into a pressure cooker, a container for steam pressure, or a boiler comprised of an apparatus base (10), sealing lid (20) with an internally threaded orifice (80) for a device that either releases or regulates steam pressure, a plurality of connecting rods (30) and typical fasteners (40), (42), when assembled with a proper sized food can, shall achieve an airtight seal on the opening of the food can and when placed on or above a heat source of such significance as to bring the contents of the food can to a boil shall allow the generation of steam pressure.
