A battery testing apparatus including battery charger/tester and a controller having battery charge mode and a battery test mode. In the battery charge mode, the controller causes a utility power source to be connected to the battery charger/tester, and the battery charger/tester allows electrical current to flow from the utility power source to the battery. In the battery test mode, the battery charger/tester allows current to flow to the utility power source so as to provide a consistently repeatable power draw from the battery reducing the error in detection of a weakened battery.

An apparatus and method for extracting a maximum amount of power from a water source includes: a hydroturbine assembly including a shaft; a turbo generator connected to the shaft of the hydroturbine assembly; a frequency sensor for sensing a frequency output by the generator associated with a turbine speed of the hydroturbine; a power converter that converts the electrical output of the turbo generator to a predetermined power value; a power sensor for sensing an output power of the power converter; a maximum power controller that maximizes a power output of the power converter based on: (a) the frequency of the electrical output of the turbo generator sensed by the frequency sensor; and (b) the output power of the power converter sensed by the power sensor; and an energy reservoir for receiving the output of the power converter; wherein the maximum power controller calculates a maximum power output of the power converter. An algorithm permits the maximum power controller to extract the maximum available power at levels that approach stall torque. Power and frequency information are transmitted over the same pair of wires.

A system for temperature control of an electronic component includes a heat plate supporting the component; a heat plate temperature sensor; a fan capable of providing air for cooling the heat plate; and a fan control for using the heat plate temperature to control the operation of the fan to provide a substantially constant heat plate temperature. The system can further include a heat pipe assembly having fins and coupled to the heat plate with the fan capable of providing air to the fins. The heat pipe assembly can include at least two heat pipes each having first ends coupled to the heat plate and second ends situated in a condensation section where at least one of the heat pipes has a different working fluid than an other. A switch temperature or load current sensor can be coupled to the heat plate and supply data to a switch controller for receiving the switch temperature, determining whether the temperature or load current has changed, and adjusting a switching frequency of the at least one electronic switch device in response to any change of the switch temperature. A bus layer can be situated adjacent the component and selectively coated with an insulating material and studs can mechanically and electrically coupling the bus layer and a printed circuit board to the component.
