Patent number: 11787304Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept measure the amount of electrical power being consumed in one or more houses or buildings, before the utility meter or meters. These measurements are used by a smart load manager (SLM) apparatus, in addition to information about the maximum capacity of the electrical lines that are being measured, to maximize the number of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) units that can be installed in the one or more buildings, and maximize the amount of power that is available for electric vehicle (EV) charging at any given time.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Evercharge, Inc.Inventors: John Loren Passmore, Jason Appelbaum

Patent number: 11728648Abstract: A solar system installed at a house or building, which may include solar panels and a solar inverter. When the solar system is installed at the house or building, the power load associated with the solar system might overload an electrical panel. This might force the owner of the house or building to spend thousands of dollars on an electrical panel upgrade. To avoid such an expensive upgrade, a smart load manager (SLM) is disclosed that can communicate with the solar inverter and can control it. The SLM can function as a real-time load shedding device, thereby avoiding the cost of a load center/panel upgrade, while enabling a safe and cost-effective solar system installation.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Evercharge, Inc.Inventors: John Loren Passmore, Jason Appelbaum

Publication number: 20230051148Abstract: A remote computer server communicates with a fleet of electric vehicles, and gathers telemetry data from the fleet of electric vehicles. An intelligent EVSE unit and/or a DC fast charging unit communicates with the remote server, and charges an electric vehicle based at least in part on the telemetry data from the fleet of electric vehicles. The remote computer server can generate charging instructions based at least in part on the telemetry data gathered from the fleet of electric vehicles. The intelligent EVSE unit and/or the DC fast charging unit receive the charging instructions, and charge the electric vehicle based at least in part on the charging instructions, the telemetry data, and/or an existent electrical load associated with an electrical panel of a house or a building.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Jason Appelbaum, John Loren Passmore

Patent number: 7522040Abstract: A portable sensor device incorporates a low-power, nanostructure sensor coupled to a wireless transmitter. The sensor uses a nanostructure conducting channel, such as a nanotube network, that is functionalized to respond to a selected analyte. A measurement circuit connected to the sensor determines a change in the electrical characteristic of the sensor, from which information concerning the present or absence of the analyte may be determined. The portable sensor device may include a portable power source, such as a battery. It may further include a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data to a base station.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Nanomix, Inc.Inventors: John Loren Passmore, Jean-Christophe P.
