Abstract: A system for recharging the batteries in an electrically powered vehicle which is owned or operated by an authorized party and wherein the recharging of the batteries is carried carried out at a site away from the premises owned or controlled by the authorizing party includes (a) first communication means for communicating between the site and an electrical utility for requesting the recharging of the batteries at the site, (b) authorization confirmation means for confirming that the authorized party is in fact authorized to recharge the batteries at the site, (c) second communication means between the electrical utility and the site for confirming authorization of the authorized party and for enabling the recharging of the batteries at the site, and (d) accounting means for calculating the cost of recharging the batteries and properly assessing that cost to the authorized party.

Abstract: A system for metering electricity consumption securely between a central station comprising data storage and a security module, an electrical device having storage memory and an electrical meter that is in data communication with the central station and the device. The meter is capable of detecting the net energy contribution of the device and transmitting the data to the central station. The security module is capable of generating and transmitting a communication code to the device via the meter for storage in the device.

Abstract: A cleaning glove includes a waterproof glove having at least one finger stall and a thumb stall, a mounting plate attached to the thumb stall, an artificial thumbnail connected to the mounting plate, a first scouring surface positioned on a thumbward side and an outer end of a first finger stall, a second scouring surface positioned on an exterior side of an outermost finger stall, a cleaning material, and an arm portion. The thumbnail has a generally crescent-shaped configuration protruding from the thumb stall for scraping objects when a wearer's thumb moves in a back and forth motion. The configuration and the positioning of the thumbnail provide the user with leverage when cleaning and take advantage of the hand's natural movements. The mounting plate distributes the thumbnail's forces on the waterproof glove, keeping the waterproof glove from tearing. The first and second scouring surfaces may be used cooperatively for cleaning.
