Patent number: 9071043Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a docking station that prevents electrical cables (e.g., from a portable power generator or other temporary power source) from even being connected to connectors in the interior of the docking station while the building's electrical system (or other electrical load) is in electrical communication with the utility. The docking station can include a cabinet with two doors that swing in different directions and a locking mechanism that regulates the opening and closing of those doors. In preferred embodiments, the locking mechanism includes a trapped-key lock. Embodiments of the present invention can be used in applications other than docking stations.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Trystar, Inc.Inventors: Steven Matthew Takata, James Jerome Koberg, Brian Allen Amacher, Nicholas Goebel

Publication number: 20140076601Abstract: An enclosure, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, comprises a plurality of peripheral frame members, a plurality of corner frame members, a plurality of corner members, a plurality of primary surface sheets, and a plurality of secondary surface sheets. In preferred embodiments, the components of the enclosure are joined together in a manner that inhibits liquids from accessing the junctions between the components. In this manner, the interior of the enclosure can be shielded from various weather and other conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: Trystar, Inc.Inventors: Steven Matthew Takata, James Jerome Koberg, Brian Allen Amacher, Jason Robert DeMars, Christopher Alan Dahl

Patent number: 8450659Abstract: A load control system and method of time multiplexing power to a plurality of holding shelves in a food holding cabinet to allow total cabinet power to be limited to electrical distribution capabilities. This method allows for individual shelf heaters to be utilized normally to maintain food temperatures during normal use and modulates power when multiple shelves demand heating that would normally exceed branch circuit capabilities thus tripping the breaker. The system monitors temperature of each shelf and based upon demand executes a logical demand schedule for each shelf heater output (time multiplexing or modulating AC power to each) such that total system demand does not exceed available power to the system.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Restaurant Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael Andrew Theodos, Steven Matthew Takata, Charles D.
