  • Device for controlling solar driven water pumps and method in which such a device is applied
    Patent number: 11984757
    Abstract: Device for controlling solar driven water pumps with three selectable modes on the control panel being: I) speed mode with 100% use of the available solar DC power at all times; II) solar mode using available solar DC power only, and III) eco mode combining the use of the available solar DC power with the use of the AC power from a grid or a generator and/or batteries, by automatic switching between two stages, being (i) solar stage running on solar DC power only, and (ii) hybrid stage running with solar DC power and AC power from grid or generator and/or batteries like in speed mode. The purpose of the present disclosure is to preferentially use solar energy from solar panels over AC current from the electric grid or from a generator and/or batteries while ensuring sufficient pumping capacity.

  • MODULAR BUILDING BLOCK SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200240132
    Abstract: The system and method for the modular construction of three-dimensional structures, and more particularly, to the use of the three-dimensional structures as furniture, storage, and toys. The structures comprise a plurality of panels, rods, and connectors. The structures are made up of one or more inter-connectable blocks. The blocks may have parallel or perpendicular joints. The blocks may be of the same or of different sizes. Numerous accessories are also possible for the modular structures.
