An battery-powered electrosurgical instrument includes a blade having a conductor edge portion and insulation layer with geometric shapes and composition that concentrate electrosurgical energy and reduce or eliminate the production of smoke and eschar and reduce tissue damage, thereby providing more efficient application of electrosurgical energy. The more efficient use of electrosurgical energy permits configuring the system to be battery-powered. The system may be portable or configured as a battery-backup powered system.

A preferred input torque for a hybrid powertrain is determined within a solution space of feasible input torques in accordance with a plurality of powertrain system constraints that results in a minimum overall powertrain system loss. System power losses and battery utilization costs are calculated at feasible input torques and a solution for the input torque corresponding to the minimum total powertrain system loss is converged upon to determine the preferred input torque.

Gimbal power systems and methods are operable to provide power to a device attached to the gimbal. An exemplary embodiment is configured to rotate a rotational member of the gimbal system about an axis, wherein a stator of a rotary power transformer affixed to the rotational member rotates about the axis, and wherein an end of an electrical connection coupled to a power connector of a rotor winding of the rotary power transformer remains substantially stationary as the stator of the rotary power transformer rotates about the axis.

The present invention provides a system and method for the diffusion of illumination from discrete light sources such that the illumination is blended and directed in one or more desired directions. The illumination system comprises a substrate having a plurality of light-emitting elements thereon which are arranged in an array, wherein these light-emitting elements produce illumination at one or more wavelengths. Proximate to the light-emitting elements is a diffuser, which collects the illumination produced by the discrete light-emitting elements and redirects this illumination in one or more predetermined directions, thereby blending together the one or more wavelengths of illumination and concentrating the illumination in the predetermined directions. The illumination system further comprises a power system, which provides energy to the light-emitting elements thereby resulting in their activation. Through the blending of the illumination produced by the discrete light-emitting elements together with the redirection of the illumination in a desired direction, both of which are enabled by the diffuser placed proximate to the discrete light-emitting elements, the creation of a blended pattern of illumination from these discrete light-emitting elements is provided, wherein this pattern of illumination can be one or more lines or planes of illumination.

A power system for an electric vehicle, the power system comprising at least one power generating device selected from a group consisting of a solar panel, a wind turbine capable of producing electrical power, an auxiliary generator driven by an internal combustion engine, and a generator for producing electrical power mechanically connected to, and driven by the rotational force of an axle of a vehicle. The power system being further comprised of a charging device, a battery control device, at least one battery, a motor control device, an electric drive motor electrically connected to the motor control device, and a driver interface connected to the motor control device. The electric drive motor may be used to generate power through regenerative braking. The wind turbine may be raised outside the body of a vehicle while the vehicle is not in motion. The solar panel may be disposed outside the vehicle while remaining electrically connected to the charging device.

An external power system, system and method for transcutaneous energy transfer to an implantable medical device having componentry for providing a therapeutic output and a secondary coil operatively coupled to the componentry. The implantable medical device is adapted to implanted at a location in a patient. An external power source has a primary coil contained in a housing. The external power source is capable of providing energy to the implantable medical device when the primary coil of the external power source is placed in proximity of the secondary coil of the implantable medical device. A holder is adapted to be externally positioned with respect to the patient at a spot in proximity of the location of the implantable medical device and secured at the spot. The holder is attachable to the housing after the holder is secured to the patient.

The invention provides a fracturing blender truck. The fracturing blender truck comprises a chassis, a sand blending device, a four-connecting-rod mechanism and a power system. The sand blending device is arranged above the chassis and provided with a sand blender, and a closed-type mixing pump serves as the sand blender. The four-connecting-rod mechanism is capable of driving the sand blending device to move to enable a base of the closed-type mixing pump to contact with the ground, a first connecting rod and a third connecting rod of the four-connecting-rod mechanism are arranged on the chassis rotatably, and the sand blending device is arranged on a second connecting rod of the four-connecting-rod mechanism. The power system arranged on the chassis is connected with the first connecting rod and drives the four-connecting-rod mechanism to rotate to enable the closed-type mixing pump to contact with the ground. The fracturing blender truck has the advantages that the closed-type mixing pump serves as the sand blender, and the second connecting rod of the four-connecting-rod mechanism is used for bearing the sand blending device to enable the base of the closed-type mixing pump to be capable of contacting with the ground, so that the height of the closed-type mixing pump is decreased, suction capacity of the closed-type mixing pump is improved, a great quantity of fracturing fluid can be guided out, delivery capacity of the fracturing blender truck is increased, and the requirements on large-scale fracturing operation can be met.
