Handle unit for basket

One embodiment of the present subject matter includes a battery mounted to a vehicle, with a charge state circuit located in the electric vehicle and coupled to the battery, the charge state circuit configured to provide a charge state signal indicative of the charge state of the battery. The embodiment includes a charging coupler port located proximate to a user accessible exterior of the electrical vehicle and coupled to the battery, the charging coupler port to conduct charging energy to the battery and to provide a charger connection signal indicative of a connection to an external power source. The embodiment also includes a lighting circuit coupled to the charging coupler port and the charge state circuit to control the brightness and color of an illuminated indicator responsive to the charge state signal and the charger connection signal.

In some embodiments, a camera support mechanism may be used as a mount to couple a camera to a display. The camera support mechanism may include a front lip and rear leg to hold the camera in place. The front lip may align with a front edge of a display. In some embodiments, the rear leg may be adjustable by an adjustment knob. The rear leg may further have a compliant tip to allow the camera support mechanism to adapt to different sizes and shapes of displays. The camera may be mounted on the camera support mechanism through a fastener.

An assembly for use in a projection system includes a plurality of optical elements, such as one or more mirrors, a light engine, and a screen, and a monolith. The optical elements are coupled to the monolith to provide a central element of reference, thereby enabling alignment based on the central element of reference.

An electro mechanical connector for use in an electrical vehicle having a battery pack is disclosed. The connector includes a locking collar having a slot therein and a plug body arranged within the locking collar. The connector also has a switch mount sleeve arranged on the plug body and a micro switch connected to the switch mount sleeve at a predetermined position. The electrical connector also includes a switch actuator that is slidingly arranged within the slot and is aligned with the micro switch when the electrical mechanical connector is in its fully locked position.

Electro mechanical connector for use in electrical applications

An arbitrary surface optical element, such as a mirror for use in a rear projection television, includes a non-optical portion and an optical portion. The non-optical portion circumscribes the optical portion and has a thickness greater than the optical portion. Accordingly, the two portions cool at approximately the same rate, thereby minimizing warpage from differential cooling.
