Publication number: 20240166983Abstract: Systems, including methods and apparatus, for growing viable monoclonal colonies, identifying them as monoclonal after their viability has been demonstrated, and picking and placing them into a target environment. The methods may include plating cells at low density in a well, capturing at a first time shortly after plating a series of vertically spaced-apart images of the well showing locations of the cells, capturing at a second, later time images of the same well showing locations of candidate cell colonies, determining a likelihood that the candidate colonies are monoclonal based on information in the first set of images, and, based on the likelihood, picking candidate colonies using a picking head for transfer to a target environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Timothy A.

SPLIT-BUS ELECTRICAL PANEL IN PARALLEL CONFIGURATION TO MAXIMIZE PV/BATTERY INVERTER BACK-FEED POWER
Publication number: 20230318352Abstract: An apparatus provides a single split-bus electrical panel with back-feed circuit breakers arranged and sized so that, for example, a single 225A rated split-bus electrical panel with a 200A main breaker may be used to connect a far higher photovoltaic power source than conventional configurations. The circuit breakers are connected to a Microgrid Interconnection Device for isolation of critical loads during a utility power outage. A first panel section of the split-bus panel is connected to a utility and supplies power to non-critical loads. A second panel section is connected to a renewable power source with battery back-up to supply power to the critical loads and is connected through a relay to the utility, in parallel with the first panel section, to supply both utility power and renewable power when there is no outage. The relay is configured to isolate the second panel when there is a utility outage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventor: Timothy PHILLIPS -
Patent number: 11764552Abstract: A distributed energy resources compartment for an electrical panel is pre-wired for installation of a photovoltaic system for a residence.

Split-bus electrical panel with homeowner selectable partial or full back-up from PV/battery systems
Patent number: 11336115Abstract: An apparatus provides homeowner selectable full or partial back-up power of a residential photovoltaic system to power critical loads during a utility power outage. A single split-bus electrical panel with a first panel section supplies utility power to non-critical loads and a second panel section supplies photovoltaic power to critical loads. A mechanical interlock in contact with interlocked circuit breakers of the first panel, prevents them from both being simultaneously on. A patch panel associated with the split-bus electrical panel enables an installer to selectively connect factory installed connections to either: connect the second panel section to utility power via a microgrid interconnection device when the second panel section is at least partially powered by back-up photovoltaic power, or connect the first panel section through one of the interlocked circuit breakers to utility power via the microgrid interconnection device to provide both panel sections with full back-up photovoltaic power.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventor: Timothy Phillips -
