Diesel-powered equipment has been commonplace in the mining indnstry for decades. The preference for diesel units over electrical trailing cable, troUey wire, or battery-powered equipment has resulted from improved safety, enhanced mobility, increased productivity and efficiency, and increased power. In spite of these benefits, diesel engines generate exhaust emissions that if not controlled may pose a health risk to miners. 

In the case of marine use, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) issued INST9310AB1 on June 13,1991, which states that all lithium-ion battery-powered equipment must undergo safety evaluation and approval prior to fleet use. As shown in Table 16.4, polymer lithium-ion batteries have important advantages over current Zn-Ag batteries. This safety program governs... 

Shipments of fuel cell-equipped mobile devices could grow very rapidly if they can eliminate the need for frequent recharging of current battery-powered models. The Medis 24/7 Power Pack in April 2007. It is a portable, disposable power source for small electronic devices such as cell phones and MP3 players. Manufactured by Medis Technologies, it is based on Direct Liquid Fuel cell technology, and may be of particular utility in military applications. Elsewhere, MTI MicroFuel Cells manufactures a power pack for portable electronics that is based on direct methanol fuel cell technology that it calls Mobion. 

Alternative PPV equipment, designed and used for short-term PPV in non-lCU locations, but suitable for definitive mechanical ventilation during mass casualty events, should be considered. This equipment is available, less expensive, and more easily stockpiled than full feature mechanical ventilators. Alternative PPV equipment must be easy for non-critical care staff, with limited training and experience, to operate, as it is likely that they will be called on to help manage patients with respiratory failure in a mass casualty setting. Because it may also have to be used outside of an ICU, alternative PPV equipment must have appropriate alarm capabilities, battery power, and the ability to function with either high or low pressure oxygen sources.

New civilian markets for batteries appear to be substantial. In the United States, the electric utility industry is estimating a market by the year 2000 of 0.3 billion per year for battery off-peak energy storage systems, provided new battery technology is available (11). This corresponds to a total installed battery capability of 40,000 MW by the year 2000. The U.S. market for batteries for over-the-road consumer electric vehicles is projected to be 4 billion per year if only 10 percent of new vehicles would be battery-powered. More research is needed to enter this potential market. Realization of that market requires that battery prices be reduced to about 100/kWh and lifetimes be extended to more than 3 years. Multibillion-dollar annual markets for associated equipment such as electric drive motors, microprocessor controls, and related electronics would be created by the successful penetration of the market by electric automobiles. 

In some applications (e.g. battery powered portable electronic equipment), we may want the output rail to remain well-regulated even if the input voltage dips very low — say down to within 0.6 V or less of the set output level Vo- In such cases, the minimum possible headroom (or dropout ) achievable by the linear regulator stage may become an issue. 

The determination of SoH can be achieved by discharging a fully charged battery until the end-of-discharge voltage is reached. This method is consistent with the definition of SoH and, therefore, the exact value of SoH can be computed. In most applications, however, it is not possible to carry out discharge tests, due to limitations of the power equipment or the lack of access to the battery. In the case of... 

Whilst every effort should be made to minimize the risk of lead emissions during the recycling process, it is prudent to ensure that operating personnel are suitably equipped with the appropriate respirators in the event of fugitive emissions or ventilation system failure. Personnel working in hot-metal areas should wear an airstream helmet (Fig. 16.12), because it also provides a full face mask to protect against metal and slag splashes. Airstream helmets have a battery-powered motor... 

To adapt a personal mobility scooter to fuel cell-powered operation, it was first necessary to determine peak and average power requirements of a standard battery-equipped scooter. A battery-powered scooter was equipped with current and voltage monitoring circuitry and was driven under common operating conditions. A minimum power output requirement for the fuel cell stack was found. The scooter electrical system and physical... 

An important use of spark and arc source spectrometers is in foundry and shop floors, scrap yards, and metal-casting facilities. The inslrumcnls for these applications are often mobile and may be equipped with a handheld spark or arc gun lhal Ihe operator can touch to the metal surface to cause excitation. These devices can be used for Ihe rapid identification of alloy types and for the analysis of melts before easting. The smallest spark and arc specirometers (e,g.,, s lb, ll.,S X 7,5 X 4 in,) are self-contained, battery-powered. CCD based instruments with programmed calibrations from databases of common alloys and metals. These devices are used to sort metals according to type in scrap yards and recycling cenlers. 

The secondary and subsidiary lights should be capable of operating for 96 hours from a battery power source which is independent of the main supply. The equipment would normally operate on the main AC supply, with automatic switching to an alternative AC supply in the event of main supply failure, and automatic switching to battery supplies when no AC supply is available. 

For more intensive care, however, increased precautions are advisable. Members of the patient care team should be limited to a small number of selected, trained individuals, and special care should be directed toward eliminating all parenteral exposures. Use of endoscopy, respirators, arterial catheters, routine blood sampling, and extensive laboratory analysis increase opportunities for aerosol dissemination of infectious blood and body fluids. For medical personnel, the wearing of flexible plastic hoods equipped with battery-powered blowers provides excellent protection of the mucous membranes and airways. 

The typical equipment is portable and battery powered enabling it to be used in most locations. The eqnipment comprises a control unit and transdncer with the system being run from a laptop computer, the energy sonrce used consists of spherical impactors (ball bearings) which are used to strike the concrete surface to set up standing waves within the structnre. The smaller the impactor the higher the frequency and therefore the higher resolution. 

Walkie trucks can be considered the battery-powered version of the hand-operated forklift trucks. They are equipped with wheeled forks used to lift loads. The worker usually does not ride on the vehicle, but he controls the speed and the steering systems by using a control handle in front of the vehicle. For safety reasons, the maximum speed is limited to about 5 km/h, therefore no more than the normal speed of a human worker. 

There are battery-powered units designated as uninterruptible power supplies which switch over within milliseconds. These are often used to maintain power to computers or electronic equipment where a loss of power can cause data to be lost. Such units can be sized to also support emergency electrical hghting. 

There is no standby electrical power supply to the building, although it is equipped with battery powered emergency lights. A mechanical equipment room in the east end of B6591 contains a boiler and air compressor that provide hot water and compressed air, respectively, to B6597.
