  • Patent number: 12142930
    Abstract: A portable hybrid generator system includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit includes a first housing, a first output port, and a primary energy source disposed within the first housing. The primary energy source is electrically coupled to the first output port. The second unit is separate from the first unit. The second unit includes a second housing, an input port, a second output port, and an energy storage device disposed within the second housing. The energy storage device is electrically coupled to the input port and the second output port. The energy storage device includes at least one battery. The input port and the first output port facilitate selectively electrically coupling the first unit to the second unit to charge the energy storage device. The primary energy source is specifically calibrated or calibratable to charge the energy storage device based on the at least one battery.

  • Publication number: 20240195176
    Abstract: A switch device may include a first port configured to be directly coupled to a single photovoltaic module of multiple photovoltaic modules in a photovoltaic module array. The first ports may receive direct current power generated by the photovoltaic module. The switch device may also include a second port configured to be coupled to a connection system for coupling the photovoltaic modules to an electrical grid and a third port configured to be coupled to an energy storage system. The switch device may also include a switch configured to couple the first port to the second port in a first configuration and to couple the first port to the third port in a second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11658349
    Abstract: An energy system includes an energy storage device and a link device. The energy storage device includes a housing and a battery disposed within the housing. The battery has a first chemistry. The link device is configured to facilitate electrically coupling the energy storage device to an external battery having a second chemistry different than the first chemistry, receive input power from the external battery, and regulate a power profile of the input power received from the external battery such that the energy storage device can accept the input power from the external battery. The energy storage device is configured to receive the input power from the external battery having the second chemistry through the link device and provide output power to a load using the input power received from the external battery having the second chemistry.

  • Publication number: 20230131699
    Abstract: A manually operable disinfection wand provides to a user feedback indicating effectiveness of disinfection during treatment of a target surface. The disinfection wand comprises an illuminator section having an illuminator light source, a handle section, a coupling mechanism, and a position sensor. The coupling mechanism enables a user to rotate an illuminator cover in the illuminator section relative to the handle section to selectively allow passing of light emitted by the illuminator light source for incidence on the target surface. The illuminator cover can be rotated relative to the handle section also to block the light emitted by the illuminator light source. The position sensor is placed in the disinfection wand to produce for observation by the user a signal that is indicative of speed of motion of the disinfection wand and thereby its effectiveness in disinfecting the target surface.

  • Publication number: 20210128762
    Abstract: A sanitization device comprises primary emitters configured to emit sanitizing electro-optical (EO) radiation into an interior compartment. A support member is configured to hold and/or secure a target object within the interior compartment of a sanitization device. An end portion of the support member may extend into a secondary compartment comprising a secondary emitter configured to produce external stimulus adapted to excite and recover primary emitters from dormancy. The support member is configured to transmit EO radiation produced by the secondary emitter into the interior compartment to thereby prevent and/or recover from dormancy conditions of the primary emitters. Detection circuitry can detect activation failures of the primary emitters. Thermal management circuitry can limit certain critical failures of a sanitization device that result from activation failures of primary emitters.
