Abstract: A system includes an energy collection device adapted to collect energy from a renewable energy source, an energy distribution device separate from and not connected to the energy collection device, the energy distribution device adapted to distribute energy to a third device, and a portable energy storage device. The portable energy storage is adapted to connect to the energy collection device, receive energy from the energy collection device, store the energy, disconnect from the energy collection device, connect to the energy distribution device, provide the energy to the energy distribution device, and disconnect from the energy distribution device.

Abstract: A portable stowable cargo restraining enclosure assembly for limiting movement of cargo combined with and affixed to a seat cushion. The portable cargo restraining enclosure assembly includes a plurality of sidewalls which are pivoted and/or folded into a collapsed or stowed condition attached to the underside of a seat cushion. During use, the enclosure assembly is pivoted up into and the sidewalls deployed to cooperatively form a walled enclosure for restraint of cargo. The seat cushion is preferably wedge shaped so that when used as a seat cushion, it provides orthopedic advantages. When used as a cargo restraining device, the wedge shape of the cushion helps make the base of the cargo restraining device parallel to the ground plane.
