Abstract: A charge head is connected to a charge inlet of an electric vehicle to supply an electric charge to recharge the battery of the vehicle. The charge head is attached to a connecting device that moves the charge head to the charge inlet. Multiple light detectors are provided on the charge head to sense light emitted from the vehicle. The system then uses a difference in the amount of light received by different light detectors to determine a direction to move the charge head toward the charge inlet.

Abstract: A launching tube for use with a liquid filled tank can be sized to accommodate a submersible vehicle for dispensing into the liquid tank. The tank can be an electrical transformer or any other liquid containing tank such as but not limited to a chemical tank. The launching tube can include a valve for insertion into a launching chamber, and a tank side valve for launching of the submersible into the tank. In one form the launching tube includes an antenna for communication with the submersible and/or a base station. The launching tube can also include a sensor such as a camera, as well as an agitator. The agitator can be used to facilitate bubble removal from the inside of the launching tube.

Abstract: Devices, methods and software for automated electrical connector positioning for electric vehicle (EV) charging are provided. Using, for example, the disclosed automatic charging device, a method for charging an EV includes determining receipt of an EV-side electrical connector to a charging zone of an EV charging environment. The method includes actuating a charger-side electrical connector from an initial position outside of the charging zone to a final position inside of the charging zone. The final position corresponds to the charger-side electrical connector matingly engaged with the EV-side electrical connector.

Abstract: In one aspect, a quasi-resonant turn-off circuit is provided. The quasi-resonant turn-off circuit is couplable in parallel with a pair of anti-parallel thyristors. The quasi-resonant turn-off circuit includes a resonant capacitor and an energy recovery circuit. The resonant capacitor is configured to supply a charge to the pair of anti-parallel thyristors to decrease a turn-off time of the pair of anti-parallel thyristors. The energy recovery circuit is configured to recharge the resonant capacitor using remnant energy left in parasitic inductances coupled to the quasi-resonant turn-off circuit after the pair of anti-parallel thyristors is off.
