International Classification:

G02B 7182

US Classification:

359871

Abstract:

A viewing device permitting users to view true, non-reversed images of objects out of the viewer's normal line of sight as, for example, an image placed or projected behind the viewer. The device includes at least one pair of mirrors adjustably disposed in substantially direct side-by-side relationship to form a mutual angle. While the mirrors may be supported in a variety of ways, they are preferably disposed to rotate about a common axis, and may be held in place by friction mounts. In the present structure, the common axis is represented by a generally vertical support, which itself is adjustably attached to a second support so as to be adjustable and three-dimensionally rotatable. To adjust the reflective angles of an image being viewed, pressure applied to the housing of one mirror causes it to pivot against its frictional mount so as to change its angular relationship with respect to the second mirror. Either or both mirrors may be adjusted to perfect the view.

Abstract:

A modular energy storage system includes a housing, a plurality of energy storage devices, a first door assembly and a second door assembly. The housing includes a first end and a second end. The plurality of energy storage devices are coupled within the housing. The first door assembly is pivotally coupled to the first end of the housing. The second door assembly is pivotally coupled to the first end of the housing adjacent the first door assembly. The first and second door assemblies each comprise an air distribution member configured to distribute and direct a cooling air flow toward the plurality of energy storage devices to absorb heat energy from the plurality of energy storage devices.
