  • Patent number: 11932130
    Abstract: A mission-critical microgrid comprising a renewable energy generator, a microgrid control and distribution unit, electric vehicle supply equipment, an energy storage system, and critical infrastructure electric service equipment. The renewable energy generator generates and provides direct current (DC) power that is then controlled and distributed by the microgrid control and distribution unit. The electric vehicle supply equipment receives DC power from the energy storage system through the microgrid control and distribution unit to be utilized to charge a mission-critical electric vehicle fleet. The mission-critical electric vehicle fleet supplies DC power through the electric vehicle supply equipment to the energy storage system through the microgrid control and distribution unit. The energy storage system receives, and stores DC power generated by the renewable energy generator through the microgrid control and distribution unit.

  • Publication number: 20160331408
    Abstract: A cervical tenaculum has first and second arms with respective proximal and a distal ends. The first arm and second arms are rotatably connected between the respective proximal and distal ends so that the distal ends form an arm plane. The cervical tenaculum forms a user portion at the proximal ends of the first and second arms, and has first and second projections respectively extending from substantially the distal end of the first and second arms. These projections each have respective substantially linear portions that diverge from the arm plane. To grasp cervical tissue, the cervical tenaculum has first and second footpads respectively coupled with the first and second projections. The first and second footpads define a grasping region for grasping cervical tissue.
