A wired vehicle fleet having a first vehicle connected with a supply unit by a first bendable connection element and a second vehicle connected with the supply unit by a second bendable connection element is controlled by a control unit to avoid a collision between the first and the second bendable connection elements.

An articulated arm to suspend an X-ray head from a support section in a radiographic imaging apparatus comprising two pairs of linkages separated and joined to an intermediate linkage wherein the proximal end of the first pair of linkages is connected to the support section and the distal end of the second pair of linkages is connected to the X-ray head, and further wherein the linkages in the first pair of linkages are parallel and rotatable about the connection to the support section, the linkages in the second pair of linkages are parallel and rotatable about the intermediate linkage, and whereby a rotational orientation of a mounting for the X-ray head about an axis which is parallel to the axes about which the first pair of linkages are rotatable remains constant when the first pair of linkages is rotated relative to the support section and/or the second pair of linkages is rotated relative to the intermediate linkage.

A wire guide body includes: a vehicle body-side guide portion having a configuration in which a plurality of vehicle body-side link members are coupled so as to form a string and to be capable of being curved as seen in a plan view, the vehicle body-side guide portion being coupled to a vehicle body-side bracket; a door-side guide portion having a configuration in which a plurality of door-side link members are coupled so as to form a string and to be capable of being curved as seen in a plan view, the door-side guide portion being coupled to a door-side bracket; and a relay link member including a vehicle body-side coupling portion that is coupled to the vehicle body-side guide portion, and a door-side coupling portion that is disposed at a position lower than the vehicle body-side coupling portion and that is coupled to the door-side guide portion.

An energy guiding chain and side part therefore are proposed. In energy guiding chains, the pivotability of connected chain links against each other is typically limited by cooperating abutments with abutment surfaces arranged on the side parts. The invention concerns elastically deformable damping elements which dampen the abutting motion of the areas between the abutments and the abutment surfaces. In accordance with the invention, at least some abutments have a damping bow which is convexly curved in the direction of the respective other abutment surface and behind which a free space is provided, both ends of the damping bow being firmly connected to the respective abutment in the manner of an arched bridge. Furthermore, the damping bow is connected in one piece to the inner wall of the respective side part facing the inner guide channel.

Apparatus and methods pertaining to moving a train rig between locations associated with corresponding different wellsites. Equipment carried by the train rig is operable in conjunction with forming wells each extending beneath a corresponding one of the wellsites. An adjustable swing arm mechanically and electrically connected to the train rig comprises a medium-voltage (MV) cable. The adjustable swing arm extends from the train rig to connect the MV cable to one of a plurality of MV electrical hubs each electrically connected to a remote MV electrical power source via, at least, MV electrical lines suspended above the wellsites. A piece of equipment carried by the train rig is energized by MV electrical power delivered via the adjustable swing arm, and then operated in conjunction with the subterranean well formation.

A charging station for automatically conductively charging an electric vehicle having an underbody receptacle cavity is provided. When charging, the charging station and the electric vehicle may spaced apart by a linear distance. Other alignment discrepancies may also exist between the electric vehicle and the charging station. To traverse the linear distance and align and insert the plug into the receptacle, the charging station may be capable of moving in multiple translational degrees of freedom.

An injection-moulded plastic part for a cable carrier, particularly a side part of a chain link produced in an injection moulding process. The injection moulded part has a visible, identifiable marking on a first side, particularly the outside. The at least one marking comprises a data code marking having a 2D code for data encoding which is introduced into the plastic body directly in the injection moulding process so that said marking is provided on the first side to be machine-readable. The invention likewise relates to a corresponding injection moulding tool having a number of first symbol regions and second symbol regions for producing the data code marking in the injection moulding process.

A telescopic power supply track has a strip-shaped power supply base and a power taking module, the power taking module has a rod-shaped housing, a second external terminal, and two electrical contacts provided on the rod-shaped housing away from the second external terminal and are respectively set against the two conductive strips to position and electrically connect the power taking module; and two strip-shaped conductive members, arranged in the hollow structure of the rod-shaped housing, and the two ends of the strip-shaped conductive member are respectively electrically connected to the second external terminal and the two electrical contacts. The invention solves the problem of the long lead in the shelf in the prior art and the need to reserve the lead, reduces the time of the short line, increases beauty and improves safety.

A cable management arm, comprising: a first cable management arm to connect to a first connector of a first rail kit of a computing device and a second cable management arm to connect to a second connector of the first rail kit of the computing device; a connector to pivotally attach to the first cable management arm and the second cable management arm; and a rail kit comprising: a retainer to connect to a connector of a second rail kit of the computing device; an inner slide, wherein the inner slide is pivotally connected to the retainer; and an outer slide, wherein the outer slide is slidably connected to the inner slide, wherein the rail kit pivotally attaches to the connector via a pin.

A block heater cord extender features a frame for mounting to a vehicle, a female electrical socket carried on the frame for receiving a male plug of the vehicle's block heater cord, and an extendable/retractable arm having a proximal end movably mounted to the frame. The arm is extendable and retractable in length, and carries an electrical plug at its distal end for mating with a mains power electrical outlet. Circuitry of the extender includes a wireless transmitter arranged activated by the mains power supply when the extender is plugged in. The transmitter sends a signal to a separate warning unit placed inside the vehicle, which reminds a vehicle operator to unplug the extender before driving away.
