20130175083 | DOUBLE WALLED ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION ENCLOSURE - In various embodiments, a charging station enclosure is provided having a casing for enclosing circuitry therein, the casing comprising a side wall surrounding the circuitry, wherein at least a portion of the side wall comprises a double wall with a space therebetween. | 07-11-2013 |
20130175989 | ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION ENCLOSURE AND MOUNTING APPARATUS - In various embodiments, a charging station apparatus has a mounting plate mountable to a support structure for supporting the charging station enclosure. The plate may include fastener openings adapted to pass fasteners therethrough to secure the plate to the support, and fastener receivers to receive fasteners to mount the enclosure to the plate. In one embodiment, a charging station apparatus has an enclosure with a flange, and a mounting plate with a curved support edge adapted seat within the flange, and may be adapted to slidingly engage the support edge. The plate may include one or more leveling edges. In some embodiments, the enclosure has a rear wall with an electrical conduit opening and wiring exclusion spacers adjacent to the opening. | 07-11-2013 |

20100013356 | COMPLIANT ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER TRANSDUCERS FOR SONIC APPLICATIONS - Described herein are compliant electroactive polymer transducers for use in acoustic applications. A compliant electroactive polymer transducer includes a compliant electroactive polymer at least two electrodes. For sound production, circuitry in electrical communication with the transducer electrodes is configured to apply a driving signal that causes the electroactive polymer to deflect in the acoustic range. | 01-21-2010 |
20100263181 | ROLLED ELECTROACTIVE POLYMERS - The invention describes rolled electroactive polymer devices. The invention also describes employment of these devices in a wide array of applications and methods for their fabrication. A rolled electroactive polymer device converts between electrical and mechanical energy; and includes a rolled electroactive polymer and at least two electrodes to provide the mechanical/electrical energy conversion. Prestrain is typically applied to the polymer. In one embodiment, a rolled electroactive polymer device employs a mechanism, such as a spring, that provides a force to prestrain the polymer. Since prestrain improves mechanical/electrical energy conversion for many electroactive polymers, the mechanism thus improves performance of the rolled electroactive polymer device. | 10-21-2010 |
