  • Publication number: 20250062636
    Abstract: A controller, process, and apparatus can be configured to provide backup electrical power to various equipment used in hydrogen and/or ammonia production in response to a loss of power condition being detected. The loss of power can be due to unavailable power from renewable sources (e.g. cloudy day, non-windy conditions) or due to other power transmission problems. The backup electrical power can be provided in a way that can reduce the carbon intensity associated with the providing of the backup power. The backup power can also be provided to help avoid degradation of equipment that can occur from sudden losses of electrical power. In some embodiments, hydrogen powered turbines, hydrogen fuel cells, biofuel generators, and/or hydrogen powered engines can be utilized for providing the backup power.

  • Patent number: 12108822
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a visor system including a bill portion configured to bend enough to conform to a bent curvature of a hat bill. The bill portion includes a front curved section and a rear curved section. A first component of a magnetic pair is at least partially encapsulated within the bill portion. The visor system includes an auxiliary portion having a second component of the magnetic pair at least partially encapsulated therein. The magnetic pair includes at least one magnet and at least one other element that is either a magnet or a magnetizable material. The magnetic pair allows the bill portion to be moved to various positions and rotations, while coupled to the hat bill, to provide added shade and the like. The bill portion is flexible enough that as it is moved and rotated it conforms to the existing bent curvature of the hat bill.
