  • Patent number: 11444569
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules, each having a mat with an edge and a spacer with an edge, the edge of the mat being attached to the edge of the spacer. The spacer includes a plurality of support members and a solar module mounted to the support members. Each of the support members includes a ledge. The solar module and the ledge form a space therebetween. The space is sized and shaped to receive an edge of a solar module of another of the photovoltaic modules. The spacer of one of the photovoltaic modules overlays the mat of another of the photovoltaic modules.

  • Patent number: 11244756
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods are provided for requesting and monitoring optimal patient transport. In embodiments, a system for monitoring optimal patient transport may comprise at least one processor configured to receive transfer request data from an initial user for a patient and determine relevant patient and relevant patient data based on the transfer request data. The at least one processor may be configured to transmit a transfer request to one or more transport providers, receive and store one or more transportation quotes from one or more transport providers through a bid process that is set for a specific time interval, and analyze received one or more transportation quote with previously stored transportation quotes. The at least one processor may further determine winning transport provider and pending transport data, and generate instructions to display a user interface depicting a first representation of a pending transport at a first time.
