  • Methods of allocating energy generated by a community solar energy system
    Patent number: 11948210
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter may provide a method of retrieving a data record including historic utility bill statements of a customer, determining a historic energy usage rate of the customer based on the retrieved data record, and determining whether the customer is eligible to subscribe to a community solar energy generating system based on geographic location of the community solar energy generating system, the determined historic energy usage rate of the customer, and the customer's geographic location. The method may determine an allocation of energy produced by the community solar energy generating system when the eligible customer is enrolled in a subscription to the community solar energy generating system. The method may generate a customer data record for the user based on credits for the allocation of energy of the community solar energy generating system and receiving energy from another energy generating system.

  • Sear system for a firearm
    Patent number: 10422602
    Abstract: A firing mechanism for a firearm is provided for reducing maximum trigger pull weight attributable to a sear and for reducing trigger pre-travel and over-travel distances. The firing mechanism includes a sear actuator with a trigger engagement leg that engages with a trigger bar at a reduced trigger travel distance. The firing mechanism also includes an increased trigger bar contact distance, thus reducing trigger pull weight.
