  • Patent number: 11958380
    Abstract: Dynamic allocation of power modules for charging electric vehicles is described herein. The charging system includes multiple dispensers that each include one or more power modules that can supply power to any one of the dispensers at a time. A dispenser includes a first power bus that is switchably connected to one or more local power modules and switchably connected to one or more power modules located remotely in another dispenser. The one or more local power modules are switchably connected to a second power bus in the other dispenser. The dispenser includes a control unit that is to cause the local power modules and the remote power modules to switchably connect and disconnect from the first power bus to dynamically allocate the power modules between the dispenser and the other dispenser.

  • Publication number: 20240106650
    Abstract: A computer program for generating an input and an output for a voting transaction for a blockchain for casting a vote, the computer program causes one or more processors to be configured to: receive voting instructions from a vote coordinator comprising one or more public keys and a set of voting options; render a user interface displaying the voting options; receive a user selection of one of the voting options; and generate an input-output pair for inclusion in a voting transaction; wherein a non-signature portion of the input comprises an outpoint identifying an unspent transaction output, and a signature portion of the input comprises a signature single flag and an associated signature signing at least the non-signature portion of the input-output pair and the output of the input-output pair but not any other output of the voting transaction, and the output of the input-output pair comprises one of public keys.

  • Patent number: 5338541
    Abstract: Terpolymers with more than one constituent cationic monomer, further copolymerized with acrylamide, are conditioning additives for hair, skin and nail care products which, with regard to hair, improve wet and dry hair combability, especially detangling and reduced static flyaway, sheen, and fixative properties, especially curl retention, and with regard to skin and nails, improve softening or lubricating (lubricity), moisture retention and attraction (moisturizing), feel, and reduction of irritation. The dual cationic polymers may have a weight average molecular weight of from about 10 thousand to 10 million, and comprise (a) from at least 30 to as much as 75 weight percent of acrylamide (AM), (b) from at least 25 to as much as 80 weight percent of the cationic monomer dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (DMDAAC), and (c) from at least 5 to as much as 35 weight percent of a second cationic monomer of the formula: ##STR1## where Y is --O--A-- or --NH--A--, where A is ethyl or propyl; R.sup.1 is H or CH.sub.3 ; R.
