  • Patent number: 11929708
    Abstract: Wire or cable holder assemblies employed in a solar power system are disclosed. In some embodiments, an assembly could include a cap and a base configured with channels. When the cap and the base are clamped to an object (e.g., a solar module frame), enclosures defined by the channels and a surface of the solar frame module are formed to hold cables. In some embodiments, an assembly could include a plunger with at least one leg and a base that includes a receptacle for receiving the plunger and a hook for holding electrical cables. A leg include a rack having teeth adapted to fall into notches or spaces formed by complementary teeth of a pawl found in the receptacle that forms a ratchet which permits insertion of the plunger into the receptacle but not an extraction. If extraction is desired, an external force may be applied to release the pawl.

  • Patent number: 11927972
    Abstract: A system for determining a travel direction that avoids objects when a vehicle travels from a current location to a target location is provided. The system determines a travel direction based on an attract-repel model. The system accesses external object information provided by an external object system. The external object information may include, for each of a plurality of objects, location, type, and constraint. The system assigns a repel value to the location of each object based on the type of and constraint on the object. The system assigns an attractive value to the target location.

  • Patent number: 11928788
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for automated configuration of hanger placement within a model layout in a computer-aided design (CAD) application. The technologies rely, in some embodiments, on an initial selection of pipe elements and a traversal direction. Candidate positions for placement of hangers are then generated. At each candidate position, a set of pipes essentially parallel to one another can be identified. When the set of pipes includes two or more pipes, the candidate position is deemed to be satisfactory and placement of a hanger at the candidate position can be configured. The configuration includes configuration of a size of a hanger bearer relative to the pipe elements present in such a set. The configuration also includes configuration of an elevation of the hanger. A termination rule can be utilized to terminate the generation of candidate positions and associated configuration of hanger placement.
