Abstract: An example of an apparatus to transport utility-scale lithium-ion batteries in a racked and operational state. The apparatus includes a base and an isolation platform. In addition, the apparatus includes an isolator mounted on the base to support the isolation platform. The isolator is to dampen forces exerted on the isolation platform from the base. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a rack mounted onto the isolation platform. The rack is to secure a plurality of lithium-ion batteries to store energy at a utility-scale to be provided to a power distribution network. The plurality of lithium-ion batteries is racked in an operational state during transportation.

Abstract: An example of an apparatus to connect a power distribution network with an energy storage unit. The apparatus includes a mobile platform. In addition, the apparatus includes a connection system to connect with an energy storage unit and to receive a current from the energy storage unit. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a transformer mounted on the mobile platform to convert the voltage from the connection system to the voltage of a power distribution network. The apparatus also includes an output cable to connect with the power distribution network.

Abstract: An example of a system to provide energy storage capacity moveable between multiple locations is provided. The system includes a plurality of docking stations, wherein each docking station is connected to a power distribution network. In addition, the system includes an energy storage unit to connect to a first docking station selected from the plurality of docking stations. Furthermore, the system includes a transporter onto which the energy storage unit is mounted to transport the energy storage unit from the first docking station to a second docking station.

Abstract: A system and method for a global approach for multifactor authentication incorporating user and enterprise preferences. An example method includes receiving a request from an enterprise computer for authentication of a user to access a resource of the enterprise. The example method also includes requesting available authentication methods and/or credentials at a point of authentication for the user. The example method also includes determining a set of authentication credentials to apply. The example method also includes receiving a requested set of authentication credentials from the point of authentication. The example method also includes authenticating the user based on the received set of authentication credentials from the point of authentication, and providing the user authenticated identity to the enterprise for access to the resource of the enterprise after authenticating the user.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses compositions and methods to allow one to monitor formation of synthetic chromosomes in real-time via standardized fluorescent technology, eliminating the need for cumbersome, expensive, and possibly mutagenic analysis.

Abstract: A cooling and heating platform is disclosed. An example cooling and heating platform includes an operating chamber with an operating liquid in the operating chamber. The example cooling and heating platform includes a heat exchanger in the operating chamber. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between the operating liquid and an application fluid in the heat exchanger to maintain the application fluid at a predetermined temperature for an application.

Abstract: The Leaf Skid Apparatus is a tarpaulin like structure that has two ends hemmed to create cavities that house a semi-rigid beam in front and a weight at the rear. Grommets are strategically placed to allow a pulling device to effectively distribute the weight and secure the beam in the structure. Additional grommets are utilized in the rear to secure the weight and to allow the structure to be staked to the ground. This apparatus can be manufactured using well established methods and materials while requiring a modest amount of labor. It can be transported and displayed in its storage container and offers a manufacture or retailer an effective tool for marketing by including a logo on the top surface. As a very useful and time/energy saving tool that can be sold for an affordable amount, it will appeal to home owners and yard maintenance professionals alike.
