US Classification:

429 99

Abstract:

An assembly includes non-load bearing housings, each housing including several cavities. Each cavity includes a stack of freely stacked electrochemical storage cells in the housings. Each electrochemical storage cell includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and a separator located between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode. The assembly is configured such that pressure applied to the assembly is born by the freely stacked electrochemical storage cells.

Filed:

Mar 7, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/813363

Inventors:

Eric D. Weber - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H04N 718

US Classification:

348 81

Abstract:

A submersible camera is releasably attached to a fishing line so that the submersible camera can observe the bait receiving end of the fishing line when the submersible camera and the bait receiving end of the fishing line are submerged in a body of water. The submersible camera is connected to a video monitor via video cable. By observing the bait receiving end of the fishing line on the video monitor a fisherman can obtain real time information regarding the fishing environment enabling the fisherman to make better informed decisions regarding the presence and desirability of fish, the attractiveness of the bait or lure to the fish, whether the fish are striking the bait, the appropriate time to apply a hooking yank, whether the fish is hooked and how aggressively should the fish be reeled in. This enables the fisherman to catch more desirable fish.

Abstract:

A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.
