Publication number: 20240149726Abstract: Presented are articulating roof assemblies for electrical generator systems, methods for making/using such roof assemblies, and fuel cell powered electric vehicle charging stations with such roof assemblies. An electrical generator system includes a mobile or stationary rigid support frame with an electrical generator that is mounted to the support frame and operable to generate electric power. At least one charging cable is electrically connected to the generator in order to transfer the electric power to a load. A control circuit is communicatively connected to the generator and governs the creation and transfer of electric power. Mounted onto the rigid support frame is a roof assembly with one or more roof panels. Each roof panel is movable between an undeployed position, whereat the roof panel at least partially covers the generator, and a deployed position, whereat the roof panel is obliquely angled to and/or projects outwardly from the rigid support frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Alan B.

Publication number: 20230094666Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to appliance hubs and related systems and methods. In some embodiments, an appliance hub includes a frame assembly and one or more panel assemblies mounted thereto. Individual panels of the panel assemblies can be removably coupled to the frame. At least some of the panels can include one or more functional components, such as one lighting elements, acoustic controls, speakers, vents, mechanical/electrical/plumbing (“MEP”) components, and/or other devices. Accordingly, the frame assembly can be used to manufacture many differently configured appliance hubs with different arrangements of panels and devices positioned thereon. Further, the ability to remove or partially remove individual panels of the appliance hubs after the appliance hub is installed in a ceiling or other upper portion of a room allows for maintenance of existing devices of the appliance hub and/or replacement of devices or the panels themselves.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Dean Allen, Jay Martin, Tony Larson, James Rooney, Erik Hanson, Jon McClure, Josh Bolton
