Patent number: 11949283Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for access-controlled electrical docking stations that automatically switch power to an electrical system between generator power and utility power are disclosed herein. An illustrative electrical docking station can include a cabinet that houses a circuit breaker, a generator interface to connect generators to the electrical docking station, an Automatic Transfer Switch, and a power supply. The power supply can supply converted DC power and protection to different accessories for the electrical docking station including an alarm, a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can be configured to lock a door to the generator connectors in a closed position when the ATS is energized by a generator and to not lock the door when the door is in an open position. In some such circumstances, the alarm can shine green or provide an audible alarm and shine red respectively.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: TRYSTAR, LLCInventors: Jonathan A. Sunde, Jared A. Smith, Griffin A. Hebel

Publication number: 20240092404Abstract: A cushioning device includes a first housing with a first wall, a first extremity, a first open end and a first hollow interior. A second housing includes a second wall, a second extremity, a second open end and a second hollow interior, the second hollow interior sized to receive the first wall therewithin. A spring is disposed within each of the first and second hollow interiors between the first extremity and the second extremity. The first and the second housings are designed for a reciprocal linear movement relative to each other between a first position where the first open end being disposed at a distance from the second extremity and a second position where the first open end being disposed in a direct contact with the second extremity. The cushioning device may be installed within a sill of a railcar to cushion buff or draft forces from a coupler.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Strato, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Sunde, Michael E. Ring, Brian Cunkelman
