Abstract:
Systems and techniques are provided for power delivery to vehicles on a roadway. A vehicle can be detected traveling on a roadway having a plurality of power distribution units for providing electrical power. The vehicle is authenticated to receive electrical power from one or more power distribution units based on identifying information associated with the vehicle. Based on successful authentication of the vehicle, a selected one or more power distribution units can be energized, the selected one or more power distribution units selected from the plurality of power distribution units as being nearest to the authenticated vehicle. Electrical power can be provided from at least one of the energized power distribution units to the authenticated vehicle while the authenticated vehicle travels along the roadway. The selected one or more power distribution units can be de-energized based on detecting that a load associated with the authenticated vehicle is no longer present.
Abstract:
Assemblies that can be disposed in a subterranean bore are described. An assembly can include a recessed portion in an inner wall and another recessed portion in an outer wall. The recessed portions can each be configured to have a cross-sectional thickness that is less than at least another part of the assembly. The assembly can provide a seal between an inner region defined by the assembly and an environment exterior to the assembly prior to a window being created in the recessed portion in the outer wall through which a branch wellbore can be formed. The recessed portion in the inner wall can guide a cutting tool toward the recessed portion in the outer wall.
