Abstract: A charge coupler with integrated electrical and mechanical disconnect switching can include a first member. A charging coupler can include a first member and a second member. The second member can be coupled at a first end with the first member. A charging coupler can include a first switch disposed at the first member and operable to cause, in response to a movement of the second member to a first angle with the first member that engages the first switch, a charging device to electrically decouple the charging device from a vehicle. A charging coupler can include a second switch disposed at the first member and operable to cause, in response to a movement of the second member to a second angle with the first member that engages the second switch, the charging device to mechanically decouple the charging device from the vehicle.

Abstract: A solar tracker with elongated slats is disclosed. By redesigning the optimal shape of the slats and having this device dictate the shape of slat, the tracker will reduce cost of tracking by allowing a tracking motor to achieve a significantly larger area with the same energy output. These gains are so significant that chronological daily tracking is invoked, reducing the maintenance requirements on the motors while still consuming less energy than existing tracking systems. Wires are kept from twisting by a subcomponent. The seasonal tracking (if implemented) is decoupled and accomplished by traditional methods.

Abstract: In a system and method for managing risk of fluctuation on company share prices, a financial institution sells a put to a company on a specified number of shares of stock of the company, the put including a strike price that is a predetermined percentage less than a market price of the shares of stock of the company. The financial institution also purchases a call from the company on the specified number of shares of stock of the company, the call including a strike price that is a predetermined percentage greater than the market price of the shares of stock of the company.

Abstract: A system and method for programming a communication device includes various means for programming a plurality of communication devices (115) with a common device management account (120) including a default value for each of one or more device credentials; and deriving a device management account (215) for one of the plurality of communication devices (130) by calculating one or more device management account values for the communication device (130) using a device identification (125) of the communication device (130) and a server identification (255) associated with an assigned device management server (205).

Abstract: A system and method is provided for over-the-air updating of a wireless communication device. The system and method provides the ability to update both direct-addressable and non-direct-addressable portions of the device memory. The system and method uses an agent that is downloaded to the wireless communication device as part of a direct-addressable memory update package. The direct-addressable memory update installs the agent into the direct-addressable memory. After the direct-addressable memory update is performed, the agent is executed and performs an update of the non-direct addressable portions of the device memory.
