Abstract: An electrical energy storage device for use in an electrical distribution grid where storage may be located across various voltage transitions throughout the network, enabling energy to bypass stepdown transformers, monitoring on both sides of a transformer, and power conditioning to optimize transformer and grid performance.

Abstract: A cartridge loader includes a lever arm, a hinge axle and a cam centered on the hinge axle, and a housing for receiving a cartridge, the housing having a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to connect to an appliance, and the second end adapted to allow the lever arm to open and close, the housing having an aperture exposing an interior of the housing, the aperture shaped to receive the cartridge and the lever arm, wherein the cam is adapted to assist in seating the cartridge in the housing when the lever arm is closed, and ejecting the cartridge when the lever arm is opened.
