The instant invention relates to a fire extinguishing apparatus. Particularly to an apparatus that includes at least one container that includes a fire retardant gel. The gel is formed from dehydrated superabsorbent polymer and water. The pre filled containers include at least one control valve or frangible portion to release the fire retardant to extinguish the fire.

An oven includes a housing forming a cooking compartment defining an interior of the oven. A water supply line extends through the housing to position an end behind a fan within the cooking compartment. The fan is arranged within the cooking compartment near the water supply line to create a low pressure area about the end of the water supply line to draw water through the water supply line and into the fan.

The invention concerns a light-emitting diode chip comprising a radiation-emitting active region and a window layer. To increase the luminous efficiency, the cross-sectional area of the radiation-emitting active region is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the window layer available for the decoupling of light.The invention is further directed to a method for fabricating a lens structure on the surface of a light-emitting component.

A system and process / method of modeling demand-response (DR) and distributed-energy resource (DER) assets is provided, facilitating the aggregation of said assets in virtual power plants (VPPs), and using VPPs to provide energy balancing services needed to minimize the impact of Variable Energy Resources (VER) on power system. The method accurately accounts for assets by qualifying assets based on various parameters and by forecasting the capabilities of the resulting VPPs for provision of balancing services. Asset performance factors that may affect the aggregated VPP's capabilities are monitored and recalculated when necessary. Near-term forecasted VPP capability is compared to near-term forecasted imbalances in the electric-power-supply system, and the VPP is dispatched to minimize the system imbalances. The dispatch signal is disaggregated to control commands to individual assets. This process provides a reliable and cost effective approach to support higher penetrations of renewable generation in the electric power system.

Apparatus for assembling substrates of a planar fluorescent lamp including a base mounted movable along a process line, the base having an upper surface for placing a first substrate of the fluorescent lamp, at least one movable board over the base, the movable board being mounted rotatable between a first position and a second position, at least one pair of parallel links each having one end rotatably coupled to the base and the other end rotatably coupled to the movable board for the movable board rotatable from the first position to the second position, a plurality of clamping members mounted on the movable board for holding a second substrate of the fluorescent lamp at a position under the movable board, a stopping member mounted in the process line over a direction of movement of the base, for coming into contact with the movable board to cause rotation of the movable board, and a damping member for making a damping action at a time the first, and second substrates of the fluorescent lamp come into contact with each other as the movable board rotates, downwardly.

A multiple oscillating water pumping device includes: a wing member disposed in fluid to generate a lifting force using the flow energy of the fluid; a rotation device to reciprocally rotate the wing member to periodically change the direction of the lifting force acting on the wing member; an arm is rotatably coupled to the wing member, the arm being reciprocally rotated about a pivot shaft by the lifting force acting on the wing member; and a cylinder where fluid enters and exits according to the internal pressure that is periodically increased and decreased by the reciprocating motion of a piston that is connected with the arm through a connecting rod. The multiple oscillating water pumping device is configured to minimize the supply of a power source required for operation and to minimize the loss of head when pumped water flows toward a reservoir along a conduit.

An enclosed motor protector has a housing formed by a base (10) and a cover (12) received on the base and enclosing a recess (10a) formed in the base. A first terminal (14) extends through an opening in the housing and mounts a stationary contact (14c) within the recess. An elongated movable contact arm (18) is cantilever mounted at one end in the recess and mounts a second movable contact (18a) on a free end of the arm which is adapted to move into and out of engagement with the stationary contact. A heater (20) is mounted in the recess in heat transfer relation with a snap acting thermostatic disc (22) disposed adjacent to the movable contact arm so that upon reaching a preselected temperature the disc will snap from one dished configuration to an opposite dished configuration with its motion transferred to the movable contact arm to move the contacts out of engagement. The cover is formed with a first multiple wall barrier (122) in the form of a triangular body when seen in a lateral cross section closing a first terminal receiving opening and a second multiple wall barrier (124) closing a second terminal receiving opening to interrupt the travel of arcs and the inlet of explosive gas to the enclosure. These features also diminish air supply in the enclosure to thereby weaken any combustion.
