Patent number: 11502453Abstract: A method for latching an electrical connector includes aligning a connector with an inlet. A first surface of the connector is within a first distance of a second surface of the inlet. A puller arm of the connector is extended into the inlet to a second distance from the second surface of the inlet. The puller arm includes a gripping element configured to apply a first compressive force against the inlet. The puller arm is retracted relative to the connector while applying the first compressive force against the inlet. The puller arm remains in the inlet at the second distance, thereby inserting a first electrode of the connector into the inlet to connect the first electrode with a second electrode of the inlet. The first electrode transfers power to the second electrode from a high-power supply.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: POWERHYDRANT LLCInventors: Kevin Walter Leary, Brian Hack, Aaron Cantrell

Publication number: 20200312190Abstract: An IoT connected educational system can include an application executing on a client device, a hub that performs input, communication, and processing functions, and at least one interactive device connected with the hub or the application. The hub can include at least one user input device, a processing circuit, and a communications circuit. The processing circuit can receive a user input via the at least one user input device and generate a control signal to control operation of the at least one interactive device based on the received user input. Each interactive device can include a body coupled to at least one moving component, an actuator coupled to a drive system coupled to each moving component, a plurality of lighting elements, a plurality of input sensors, a communications circuit, and a control system to drive the various inputs and outputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2020Publication date: October 1, 2020Inventors: Stephanie Rowe, Brian Hack
