Patent number: 9194360Abstract: An installation for producing supplementary electrical energy for an electricity network includes at least first and second water reservoirs, the first water reservoir (311, 312) being situated at a first level and the second water reservoir (120) being situated at a second level lower than the first level, a communicating pipe (340) between the first water reservoir (311, 312) and the second water reservoir (120) being provided with a remote-controlled valve (350), and a hydro-electric generating system (330) being provided with a pumping installation. The first and/or second water reservoir (311, 312; 120) is integrated in the foundations in the lower portion of an artificial building (301, 303; 200A) that needs to be built for a primary function independently of a secondary function of producing electricity. The first water reservoir (315) or the second water reservoir (120) may constitute a common body of water in the vicinity of ground level.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: NATURE AND PEOPLE FIRSTInventors: Denis Payre, Pierre Pisterman, Patrice Pisterman

Publication number: 20140279658Abstract: A computer system for suggesting attended delivery/pickup locations to individuals (e.g., other than the individual's home and/or office) is disclosed. In various embodiments, the computer system receives location information associated with the individual (e.g., the individual's home, office, etc.) and the locations of various attended delivery/pickup locations (e.g., attended retail stores that have signed up to receive deliveries for individuals). The system determines which (if any) attended delivery/pickup locations are located near the location associated with the individual (e.g., near the individual's home) and which (if any) attended delivery/pickup locations are available to accept parcels for the user. The system then suggests attended delivery/pickup locations to the individual. In various embodiments, the system is configured to enable the user to select a default attended delivery/pickup location and/or an alternative attended delivery/pickup location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Daniel Lievens, Vincent Dethier, Peter Henderickx, Luc Pirenne, Denis Payre
