  • Patent number: 11573545
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for an interactive dynamic interface for wireless distributed capacitor control that comprises a touchscreen display that eliminates the conventional dials and switches that are part of a conventional control, and with these efficiencies can locally, remotely or autonomously implement “personality” settings for the capacitor control that speeds and simplifies custom configurations and recovery in relation to user, electrical and environmental input that meets certain operating criteria, including after a shut-down event, thereby improving the of the capacitor control system to function more appropriately, effectively, and efficiently under a greater range of parameters.

  • Patent number: 8458101
    Abstract: A method for installation capacities of a hybrid energy generation system is disclosed. The hybrid energy generation system may include a plurality of power systems. According to the environment factors and practical requirements of the installation site, the mechanism of the present invention may find the golden ratio of the installation capacities among the different power systems. Furthermore, the present invention may obtain the combination of installation capacities associated with the minimum recovery period, thereby further decreasing the installation cost and the efficiency of the hybrid energy generation system.

  • Patent number: 4489303
    Abstract: In a contactless switch, a magnet is mounted on a rod for movement against the action of a spring to actuate a Hall effect switch. A contactless joy stick switch comprises a rod (20) supported and normally maintained in alignment with an axis (22) by an elastomeric spring (28). A plurality of Hall effect switches (42) are mounted in a circular array around the axis for actuation by a magnet (26) mounted on the rod upon displacement of the rod out of alignment with the axis. A contactless push button switch comprises a magnet (86) supported on a rod (74) which is supported for sliding movement along an axis (78) against the action of a spring (82). Displacement of the magnet (86) actuates a Hall effect switch (94). Another contactless push button switch (100) includes magnets (106, 108) positioned to actuate a Hall effect switch (110) upon sliding movement of a rod (74') against the action of a spring (82').
