Abstract: A pedestal base may include a skid base and a riser. The skid base may define a cable management system (CMS) opening and a base opening. The skid base may interface with a CMS via the CMS opening. The riser may define a riser opening. The riser may include a sidewall. The sidewall may mechanically interface with an electric vehicle (EV) charger. The riser may mechanically interface with the skid base to position the riser opening proximate the base opening. The skid base and the riser, when mechanically interfaced, may permit a cable to extend between the CMS and the EV charger and to extend through the base opening and the riser opening.

Abstract: A pedestal base may include a skid base and a cover. The skid base may define an opening. The skid base may interface with a cable management system (CMS) via the opening. The cover may mechanically interface with an electric vehicle (EV) charger. The cover may also mechanically interface with the skid base. The skid base and the cover may define a volume. The skid base and the cover, when mechanically interfaced, may permit a cable to extend between the CMS and the EV charger and to extend through the opening and the volume.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of using the apparatus to prepare a biocompatible biodegradable matrix capable of supporting cells to form an implantable or engraftable surgical device. A matrix-forming fluid is contained within a chamber defined by top and bottom surfaces of a thermally conductive material and spacers defining the thickness of the matrix. The chamber is then cooled to freeze the solution at a controlled rate, resulting in a matrix with a desired and uniform thickness having symmetric and uniform reticulations. The apparatus and method reproducibly forms such a matrix, which may be populated with cells for transplantation and engraftment into a wound.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a permanent, composite skin replacement consisting of an epidermal component and a porous, resorbable, biosynthetic laminated dermal membrane component for use in wound repair. The dermal membrane is formed in the apparatus, which permits regulation of variables affecting membrane structure. The dermal membrane may be modified to incorporate biologically active molecules to enhance wound repair and to reduce infection when the skin replacement is applied to a wound.
