Abstract:
In at least some embodiments, an apparatus is provided that comprises a frame and a cover removably attached to the frame. The apparatus further comprises a geared latch assembly attached to the cover, the geared latch assembly having a geared latch. If the geared latch is rotated from a first position to a second position, the cover moves linearly from a closed state to an open state.
Abstract:
In at least some embodiments, an apparatus includes a pressurized air source and a tube coupled to the pressurized air source. The apparatus also includes an electronic component that is spot-cooled by moving air between the pressurized air source and the electronic component via the tube.
Abstract:
Methods for chemically-resolved optical microscopy are presented. The methods can provide a wide-field, spatial interference imaging using multiple nonlinear scattering channels to produce multiple, spatially coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS).
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, circuits, and systems for implementing an AC voltage adapter and battery charger system in a closed loop topology. Embodiments of the invention include methods for controlling an AC adapter charging a battery with steps for using a closed loop configuration to monitor one or more selected parameters in the charging loop. Feedback to the AC adapter is used for dynamically controlling the adapter output voltage. A preferred embodiment exemplifies a closed loop circuit for battery charging. The circuit includes an AC adapter and a monitoring circuit for monitoring the closed loop and for providing feedback to the AC adapter, controlling the adapter output voltage.
Abstract:
A wet-mateable electrical connector which does not use elastomer as a primary seal is provided. The wet-mateable electrical connector includes a female connector body having an internal central cavity and a female metal sealing surface at a forward end and a female contact housing disposed within the internal central cavity. The female contact housing includes a plurality of female contacts. A sliding pin is movably disposed within the internal central cavity. The wet-mateable electrical connector further includes a male contact pin which has a front end for engagement with a front end of the sliding pin. The male contact pin includes a plurality of male contacts, each of which engages with a respective one of the female contacts so as to establish an electrical connection. The male contact pin has a male metal sealing surface which sealingly engages the female sealing surface to form a metal-to-metal seal.
Abstract:
A colloidal mixture and a method for creating the same is presented comprising combining a cannabinoid or an oleoresin, having purity in the range of 0.001% to 100%, an emulsifying or stabilizing agent in sufficient amounts to suspend the cannabinoid or oleoresin within the colloidal mixture to prevent phase separation wherein the cannabinoid or oleoresin remains suspended throughout the colloidal mixture, and an acidic aqueous solution of pH less than 7.0 sufficient to dissolve the emulsifying or stabilizing agent. The combination is agitated to create a colloidal mixture wherein the cannabinoid or oleoresin remains suspended throughout the colloidal mixture.
