摘要： A system for automatically monitoring a plurality of parameters of a plurality of cells in a lead-acid storage battery system. A transponder means responsive to a frequency pattern corresponding to a digital command is located at each cell to be monitored and includes a plurality of sensors which provide analog signals having an amplitude related to the value of the parameters being monitored. In a remote scanner/display means, a microprocessor generates a digital interrogation command (containing a transponder address, sensor selection, and reply duration commands) which is converted to a frequency pattern and coupled to the transponder. In response to the command, the transponder couples the analog signal from the selected sensor to a voltage-controlled oscillator and the output of the oscillator is coupled for the selected reply duration to the scanner/display means where the frequency of the signal is determined under the control of the processor. The information is stored and averaged within the microprocessor and may be displayed upon operator request and an alarm provided if any parameter of any cell exceeds specified limits.

摘要： A lightweight, efficient, transformerless battery-charging system especially for use with electric vehicles, wherein a switching regulator stores only a fraction of the energy in each charging pulse, and much of the charging energy is supplied directly from the powerline and never stored in the charger. Major components include an overload and ground-fault protective current interruptor, an RF interference filter and line rectifier, and a switching regulator capable of maintaining a constant-current constant-voltage output, providing controlled input current throughout the AC cycle and including means for external shutdown.

摘要： Apparatus for indicating the level of the electrolyte in a battery cell. A three-electrode sensor probe having the electrodes partially embedded in an electrically insulating housing suspended in the electrolyte so that a portion of the probe is immersed in the electrolyte. The electrolyte provides the only conduction path between the electrodes so that the resistance between the electrodes varies according to the level of the electrolyte. An AC or pulsed DC sensing signal is applied between two of the electrodes and an output signal related to the level of the electrolyte is produced. A polarizing current is applied to the other electrode to prevent the buildup of surface contamination on the two sensing electrodes due to the sensing signal.

摘要： A normal 117-volt, 60 cycle source is converted into a high frequency signal resulting in radiation of a substantial portion of the energy in the signal. A receiving coil is inductively coupled to the radiation over a given distance substantially less than a wave length of the high frequency signal to provide a received signal without the necessity of any electrical wires. The received signal in turn is converted into a D.C. signal and passed to a rechargeable battery for charging. The inductive coupling can be utilized for recharging portable electrical instruments having rechargeable batteries or for charging larger rechargeable batteries such as used in electrically driven vehicles.

摘要： An elongated level sensor system has an optical prism formation moulded orut in a side, and includes a plurality of LED light sources and corresponding photocells positioned along its length. Light from the LED sources are reflected off the prism surfaces to respective photocells when there is no liquid present in the area, thereby indicating "no liquid media present." When liquid surrounds a particular section, light from the LED is not reflected from the prism surfaces, but is refracted out; the change in photocell voltage then indicates the presence of liquid media. The system can be used in a plurality of liquid storage areas, and read out simultaneously at a remote sensor/alarm panel.

摘要： The invention consists of an electromagnetic-field pump. Electrolyte which is an electromagnetic conductor can be stirred and pumped by forcing a field through the electrolyte to magnetically charge the electrolyte and making use of magnetic force exerted on the charged electrolyte by a magnetic field to move the electrolyte. There are no moving parts in the device, only the changing magnetic fields. The magnetic pump assembly is submerged in an electrolyte and consists of an open ended tubular nonmagnetic chamber through which the electrolyte is forced to move in response to changing magnetic fields from external coils which are positioned about the exterior of the tubular chamber and operated to sequentially change in phase.

摘要： A compact storage file for box-like objects such as the IBM 3480 magnetic tape cartridge. The basic file unit comprises a U-shaped frame of a flat back wall and integral side walls with a plurality of shelves therein. The construction of the basic unit enables it to be replicated and arranged in many different multiples of the basic unit for efficient use of space in large or complex computer facilities. The shelves in the units are vertically spaced close together for the compact storage of the cartridges and arranged to provide for convenient hand removal of the cartridges from the file. Only the shelves of the storage file units are provided with cartridge separating walls which are constructed and arranged so that a grasped group of the IBM 3480 cartridges are easily quickly inserted as a group in any open area of the file unit.

摘要： A cabinet arrangement for the storage and use of cassette-like objects such as microfilm boxes or data tape cartridges with the cabinet in one form intended to be placed upon a table adjacent a person's work station, and in another stacked form intended to be used from a floor position. The cabinet arrangement comprises a plurality of open-faced boxes individually rotatively mounted on a swivel base assembly. The boxes can be aligned in any combination of the open-faced sides facing outwardly for access to the microfilm boxes or inwardly for prevented access to the cassette-like objects. A number of constructions are shown for fixing the boxes against rotation in any such combination.
