It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a wave-driven electronic candle, which comprises a power supply, an illuminator formed of at least one light-emitting diode and electrically connected to the power supply, a signal receiver for picking up an external wave signal, and a controller electrically connected in series between the signal receiver and the illuminator and , electrically coupled with the power supply and adapted for receiving an input signal from the signal receiver and controlling the illuminator to give off light according to the input signal from the signal receiver.
The controller comprises an input amplifier electrically connected to the signal receiver and adapted for amplifying the input signal, a signal regulator electrically connected to the input amplifier and adapted for picking up a waveform outputted from the input signal, a filter electrically connected to the signal regulator and adapted for removing noises from the waveform picked up by the signal regulator, and an output amplifier electrically connected in series between the filter and the illuminator for amplifying the filtered waveform outputted by the filter and outputting the amplified waveform to the illuminator to cause the illuminator to flash.
Further, the signal receiver comprises a sound receiver and/or a radio signal receiver.
Further, the signal regulator is adapted to pick up a series or part of the output waveform from the input signal.
Further, the filter is adapted to filter the amplitude and/or wavelength and/or frequency of the waveform received.

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM FOR A UTILITY VEHICLE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a hydraulic power system for installation on a utility vehicle to enable use of hydraulically powered ancillary or auxiliary attachments for same, and more particularly to a hydraulic power system using the engine crankshaft as a primary drive input to operate one of a hydraulic pump and an alternator, and using a secondary shaft to drive the other one of the hydraulic pump and alternator.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Utility vehicles are off road vehicles that have a side by side seating arrangement and generally have a higher payload or load carrying capacity than an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle). These vehicles are typically purchased by farmers, ranchers, commercial growers, landscapers, etc. and are used in place of larger tractors or construction equipment given their size and lower cost. However, one complaint is that these vehicles typically to not have the ability to run ancillary systems such as buckets, tillers, snow blower, sprayers, chippers, lawn mowers, etc.
There is a potential commercial opportunity for these systems as it provides a low cost alternative to the conventional larger systems.
The Kawasaki MuleTM is an example of a commercially available utility vehicle that does not have a factory-provided solution powering ancillary systems using hydraulics.
While there are some available add-on kits for the Mule the involve hydraulic power, including kits for a hydraulic bed and a hydraulic snow plow, the hydraulic power is achieved using a conventional electric-over-hydraulic power pack, in which a 12-volt DC brushed electric motor is powered by the electrical system of the vehicle and connected to a hydraulic pump and reservoir. In use of these system in other products, they have been found acceptable for low duty cycle, low power, linear hydraulic actuators that could run such accessories as a truck bed lift or snow plow blade. However, these systems have been found in some cases to fail if they are run continuously for notable periods of time, for example as little as 20 minutes.
Accordingly, applicant has developed a unique hydraulic power add-on for the Kawasaki Mule that is capable of providing reliable higher power output for extended periods, at least in part by relying on rotational input from the engine crankshaft instead of electrical power for operation of the hydraulic pump.

In typical cogeneration systems the main challenge is balancing the electrical and thermal load demands, where external sources are employed such as auxiliary fired boilers. In this process, the electrical and thermal loads are always in balance at all modes of operation. A
main feature of the process is the ability to control cogeneration efficiency by controlling the engine exhaust temperature (41) to the atmosphere. A second feature of the process is the ability to make up thermal heat demand by using electrical heating elements for thermal heat make up, where the electrical load for the heating elements is provided by the combustion engine. This feature demanding an increase in electrical output from the engine (23) and generator (24) simultaneously increases the output in waste heat generated which is recovered in heat exchangers 15 and 29. This combination of electrical and thermal supply maximizes the efficiency and use of the cogeneration unit. A third feature of this cogeneration process is the employment of variable speed pumps to meet and deliver the thermal load requirements at constant pre-set temperatures, traditionally these operate at a constant flow thus creating temperature swings. A fourth feature of the process is the mode of thermal energy recovery in this cogeneration process. Typically in cogeneration systems the main concern in the thermal energy recovery units is the corrosion and scaling caused by the dissolved gases and dissolved solids in the water circuit. This is due to the large temperature difference between the engine exhaust stream (can be as high as 750 F) and the heated water. In this cogeneration process, thermal oil is employed to recover the heat from the engine block (stream 21) and from the engine exhaust gas (stream 40) in a closed circulating loop. The heat is captured by the circulating thermal oil and is transferred in liquid/liquid heat exchangers to the heated water at much lower temperatures (200 ¨ 220 F) thus preventing and minimizing scale and corrosion.

8 thermostat 62. A slipstream 54 from the glycol heating header 53 is routed through modulating temperature control valve 55, providing thermal energy to thermal chiller 56 through heated glycol coil 57, and routed to returning glycol header 42 for re-heating.
The chiller glycol returning header 59 discharges into glycol chiller storage tank 60. The glycol is fed through circulating pump 61 into chiller 56 where it is cooled in glycol chiller coil 62 to a pre-set temperature measured and transmitted by 63. Modulating controller 62 controls heated glycol thermal valve 55 to supply the thermal energy required for chiller 56.
[0020] A feature of this tri-generation system is the add-on to the cogeneration system in Fig. 1 where the same benefit of generating a continuous electrical and thermal load allows the combustion engine to generate both electrical and thermal loads in balance year around.
This is an added dimension for balancing electrical and thermal energy loads throughout all seasons. In cogeneration systems, the predominant energy requirement in the winter is thermal energy, whereas in the summer, the predominant energy load is electricity. Since both heating and cooling energy requirements are both driven at all seasons by both electricity and thermal energy, the proposed process meets the balance demand at all times.

This feature is an alternative to convert excess thermal energy into electrical energy. An ORC unit works on the principle of expanding and condensing a low boiling point fluid. A low boiling point fluid 68, is pumped to an high pressure (300 ¨ 600 psi) and heated up in heat exchanger 70 through coil 71. A
temperature transmitter 73, through controller 72, controls the temperature of the low boiling fluid stream 74 to vaporize it. The heated vapour stream enters 74 ORC expander/generator 75 and exits as a two phase stream 66 into a condenser and storage unit 67.
In this mode of operation electrical heating elements 8 and 50 are turned off, ORC unit is used for applications where thermal energy is abundant.
