  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11951863
    Abstract: An electric vehicle charging station that is installed in a residence is coupled with a main circuit breaker in an electrical service panel. The charging station includes a charging point connection that couples an electric vehicle to a set of service drop power lines that provide electricity from a power grid to the residence; a current control device coupled to control the amount of electric current that can be drawn from the set of service drop power lines by an the electric vehicle through the charging point connection; a receiver to receive energy readings from one or more current monitors that indicate an amount of current is being drawn from the set of service drop power lines; and a set of control modules to cause the current control device to control the amount of current that can be drawn by the electric vehicle through the charging point connection based on the received energy readings to avoid tripping the main circuit breaker.

  • Publication number: 20240100237
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a surgical cassette for an ophthalmic surgical system comprises an irrigation conduit that is in fluid communication with a handpiece and carries fluid toward a surgical site. An aspiration conduit is in fluid communication with the handpiece and carries fluid away from the surgical site. An aspiration pump creates a vacuum pressure in the aspiration conduit to draw fluid through the aspiration conduit towards a drain reservoir. A reservoir couples with a pressure-vacuum source to manage the reservoir pressure. A valve is in fluid communication with the aspiration conduit and the reservoir, and provides one or more channels between the aspiration conduit and the reservoir. Each sensor detects a pressure associated with the surgical site. A computer controls the valve in response to the pressure detected by the one or more pressure sensors to mitigate a pressure or volume change.

  • Publication number: 20230415594
    Abstract: Automatically identifying an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is described. A receiver device receives wireless signals from EVSEs, where each wireless signal includes an identifier that is associated with the one of the EVSEs from which that wireless signal is received. The receiver device records signal strength values of the wireless signals and determines, based on the recorded signal strength values, which of the EVSEs is closest to the receiver device. The receiver device initiates a request for an action at the EVSE determined to be closest to the receiver device.

  • Patent number: 11780345
    Abstract: A plurality of charging equipment share a current capacity. A message is received that indicates a request for allocation of electric current through a first charging equipment of the plurality of charging equipment. Responsive to determining that granting the request would exceed the current capacity, the electric current is dynamically allocated among the plurality of charging equipment such that the first charging equipment is allocated electric current without exceeding the current capacity shared by the plurality of charging equipment.

  • Publication number: 20230117407
    Abstract: A first dispenser receives a request to initiate charging service for charging an electric vehicle. The first dispenser determines an amount of power that is available for the charging service for charging the electric vehicle including determining an availability status of multiple power modules that are located in the first dispenser and a second dispenser. The first dispenser determines whether the available amount of power is enough to meet a requested or determined amount of power draw of the electric vehicle. If the available amount of power is not enough to meet the requested or determined amount of power draw of the electric vehicle, and if there is at least one of the power modules that is available, the first dispenser requests allocation of the available power module and charging service commences.
