In addition to adding new cell sites and network equipment to support major events across the country, Verizon Wireless deployed its Cell on Wheels (COWs) and Cell on Light Trucks (COLTs)-- self-contained mobile cell sites -- at events and during times of natural disasters to ensure reliability and accessibility of the network for its customers.
Network teams rolled out COWS and COLTS in some of the hardest hit areas during and following Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne to make certain customers and rescue workers were able to make emergency calls.
COWs were deployed to a series of NASCAR racing events at the Dover Downs International Speedway in Delaware in June and September; and at Churchill Downs in Louisville for the Kentucky Derby in May. COWs were also onsite in Pennsylvania for the weeklong Bloomsburg Fair and the Fall Carlisle Car Show.

 Removal of Dynamic Offset Signal from Load Cell Instrumented Wheels
The attachment of a handrim to an instrumented test wheel with a pre-calibrated load cell introduces a dynamic offset signal.
As the wheel rotates, the load cell coordinate system also rotates, resulting in a dynamic offset due to the weight of the handrim.
Offset splines relative to wheel angle position were measured, averaged, and subtracted from the propulsion data.

The most common method of production involves a process called methane reforming, in which natural gas is heated to isolate hydrogen as well as carbon dioxide, an unwanted by-product of the procedure.
Within the stack, hydrogen combines with oxygen to create electricity and water; the electricity powers the car’s electric motor, while the water is emitted through the tailpipe in liquid form.
The 200 fuel cells generate 94 kilowatts of power, which is equivalent to approximately 100 hp in a traditional vehicle.
