摘要: Apparatus including a power supply (202) and control system is provided for maintaining the temperature within an enclosed structure (40) using thermoelectric devices (92). The apparatus may be particularly beneficial for use with a refrigerator (20) having superinsulation materials (46) and phase change materials (112) which cooperate with the thermoelectric device (92) to substantially enhance the overall operating efficiency of the refrigerator (20). The electrical power supply (202) and control system allows increasing the maximum power capability of the thermoelectric device (92) in response to increased heat loads within the refrigerator (20). The electrical power supply (202) and control system may also be used to monitor the performance of the cooling system (70) associated with the refrigerator (20).

摘要: A refrigerator is provided which combines the benefits of superinsulation materials with thermoelectric devices and phase change materials to provide an environmentally benign system that is energy efficient and can maintain relatively uniform temperatures for extended periods of time with relatively low electrical power requirements. The refrigerator includes a thermoelectric assembly having a thermoelectric device with a hot sink and a cold sink. The superinsulation materials include a plurality of vacuum panels. The refrigerator is formed from an enclosed structure having a door. The vacuum panels may be contained within the walls of the enclosed structure and the door. By mounting the thermoelectric assembly on the door, the manufacturer of the enclosed structure is simplified and the overall R rating of the refrigerator increased. Also an electrical motor and propellers may be mounted on the door to assist in the circulation of air to improve the efficiency of the cold sink and the hot sink. A propeller and/or impeller is preferably mounted within the refrigerator to assist in establishing the desired air circulation flow path.

摘要: An enclosed structure is provided for use with a refrigerator having a door assembly. The enclosed structure preferably contains superinsulation materials and a plurality of matching drawers. The enclosed structure preferably includes corner joints which minimize thermal energy transfer between adjacent superinsulation panels. The refrigerator may include a cooling system having a thermoelectric device for maintaining the temperature within the refrigerator at selected values. If desired, a fluid cooling system and an active gasket may also be provided between the door assembly and the enclosed structure. The fluid cooling system preferably includes a second thermoelectric device to maintain the temperature of fluid flowing through the active gasket at a selected value. The drawers associated with the refrigerator may be used for gathering, processing, shipping and storing food or other perishable items.

摘要: A cable tensiometer (referred to herein as a weight beam) is presented for measuring line tension in a wire rope. The cable tensiometer is characterized by a beam section, a load cell mounted on the beam section and configured so as to measure variable forces in tension, rather than in compression, and clamping of the cable at a single central point at the load cell, with all other cable contacts being free floating.

摘要: An immersive cyberspace system is presented which provides visual, audible, and vibrational inputs to a subject remaining in neutral immersion, and also provides for subject control input. The immersive cyberspace system includes a relaxation chair and a neutral immersion display hood. The relaxation chair supports a subject positioned thereupon, and places the subject in position which merges a neutral body position, the position a body naturally assumes in zero gravity, with a savasana yoga position. The display hood, which covers the subject's head, is configured to produce light images and sounds. An image projection subsystem provides either external or internal image projection. The display hood includes a projection screen moveably attached to an opaque shroud. A motion base supports the relaxation chair and produces vibrational inputs over a range of about 0-30 Hz. The motion base also produces limited translation and rotational movements of the relaxation chair. These limited translational and rotational movements, when properly coordinated with visual stimuli, constitute motion cues which create sensations of pitch, yaw, and roll movements. Vibration transducers produce vibrational inputs from about 20 Hz to about 150 Hz. An external computer, coupled to various components of the immersive cyberspace system, executes a software program and creates the cyberspace environment. One or more neutral hand posture controllers may be coupled to the external computer system and used to control various aspects of the cyberspace environment, or to enter data during the cyberspace experience.
摘要翻译: 提供一种身临其境的网络空间系统,为保持中立浸入的对象提供视觉,听觉和振动输入,并且还提供对象控制输入。 身临其境的网络空间系统包括一个放松椅和一个中性的浸没式显示罩。 放松椅支持一个放置在其上的被摄体,并将被摄体置于合并中性身体位置的位置,身体自然地以零重力的姿势与萨瓦桑瑜伽位置相结合。 覆盖被摄体头部的显示罩配置为产生光图像和声音。 图像投影子系统提供外部或内部图像投影。 显示罩包括可移动地附接到不透明护罩的投影屏幕。 运动基座支撑放松椅,并在约0-30 Hz的范围内产生振动输入。 运动基座还产生放松椅的有限的平移和旋转运动。 当与视觉刺激适当协调时,这些有限的平移和旋转运动构成运动线索,产生俯仰,偏航和侧倾运动的感觉。 振动传感器产生从约20Hz到约150Hz的振动输入。 连接到沉浸式网络空间系统的各种组件的外部计算机执行软件程序并创建网络空间环境。 一个或多个中性手势控制器可以耦合到外部计算机系统,并用于控制网络空间环境的各个方面,或者在网络空间体验期间输入数据。

摘要: An explosion and flame proof electrical connector protective assembly is presented which comprises an explosion proof cylindrical housing threadably connected at each end to explosion proof gland members. A pair of disconnectable conventional, i.e. non-explosion proof, connector elements, each leading from ends of respective cables, are disposed and connected within the housing and gland members. Both gland members are tightly sealed to the respective cables forming a protective explosion proof environment within the housing for the attached connector elements. The protective assembly of the present invention is especially well suited for use in extremely hazardous environments such as Class 1, Division 1 hazardous areas as defined by the National Electric Code (NEC) and which are associated with oil rigs and the like.
