Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for supplying power to an electronic device from a plurality of different power sources, comprising a plurality of input power interfaces, a plurality of power adapters connected to the input power interfaces, and at least one power bus connected to the power adapters, wherein any of the power sources may be connected to any one or more of the input power interfaces. Devices powered by a plurality of different power sources are also described.

Abstract: A portable power generation device includes a protective case and a power source. The protective case has a lower case portion and an upper case portion, the upper case portion including a plurality of upper case portion segments, wherein the upper case portion is rotatable with respect to the lower case portion between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The power source is sized to fit within the protective case in the closed configuration, rotatable with respect to the lower case portion, and supported by the protective case in the open configuration.

Abstract: A solar power generation device including a base, a tracking system mounted to the base, a solar collector mounted to the tracking system configured to open as the solar power generation device transitions to an active state and to close as the solar power generation device transitions to an inactive state, a light sensing system dynamically mounted about the base and configured to adjust the tracking system based upon the position of a light producing element, and a plurality of focusing elements mounted to the base and positioned around the light sensing system such that any light reflected by the focusing elements is directed to the solar collector. The device may further include an electricity management and conditioning system contained in the base that includes a short term storage system, a long term storage system, a data acquisition system, and a data and electricity transmission interface.

Abstract: A solar power generation device comprising a power subunit comprising an array configured to collect solar radiation, and a control subunit removably connected to the power subunit and configured to provide control and motion to the power subunit. The array includes at least one solar module and a pivoting means configured to facilitate movement of the at least one solar module from a closed configuration to an open configuration. The power subunit includes a frame configured to support and move the array. The control subunit includes a tracking system configured to position the array relative to a the sun to maximize collection of solar radiation. When not in use, the solar power generation device may be stacked in a closed configuration with other similar devices on a pallet or other storage device.

Abstract: The present invention includes an automatic bill payment enrollment system for recurring donations, which allows donors to automatically charge charitable donations on a recurring basis to a financial account. In one embodiment, the invention uses a donation portal having various webpages to allow a donor to donate to all U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations. In an alternative embodiment, a donor may donate to any other desired organizations. The system may also incorporate a filter for restricting monies being sent to terrorist organizations. The invention also includes a loyalty point system, wherein loyalty points may be donated to a charity. In another exemplary embodiment, the invention also facilitates employee gift matching.
