  • Patent number: 12135528
    Abstract: Methods and systems for power management are disclosed. The disclosed power management may facilitate the use of different components that may have different electrical current capacity limitations. The current capacity limitations may be based on, for example, physical limitations of the components, regulatory limitations, organizational limitations, and/or other considerations. It may not be desirable to exceed the current capacity limitations. By implementing the disclosed power management methods, systems, and/or devices, operation of devices may be less likely to result in the current drawn through devices such as power cables exceeding the current capacity limitations even while other devices operably connected to the cables do not have such current capacity limitations.

  • Publication number: 20230076994
    Abstract: A container for a plurality of articles comprising a main body, a hollow member fixedly coupled to an end of the main body and a cup member movably coupled to the hollow member. When the cup member is in an open position the cup member and the hollow member are spaced defining an opening. A slider is movably coupled to the cup member. The slider has a spring, such that when the slider is moved relative to the cup member in a radial direction the slider carries an article towards the opening and the spring on the slider is flexed. After dispensing, the spring gradually relaxes, resetting the slider.
