  • 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: 20240050856
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using an external controller with an AR device. The system establishes, by one or more processors of the AR device, a communication with an external client device. The system overlays, by the AR device, a first AR object on a real-world environment being viewed using the AR device. The system receives interaction data from the external client device representing one or more inputs received by the external client device and, in response, modifies the first AR object by the AR device.

  • Patent number: 11324228
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating the leaner portions of meat trimmings and sparse lean from the fattier portions using an automated system that segregates product based on fat content. One implementation of the method and apparatus includes a piston pump that pushes product through a reduction chamber and on through a feed line and nozzle inlet. The nozzle inlet injects a portion of product into a plurality of product chambers positioned at an outer perimeter of a rotating wheel such that as the wheel rotates, the product chambers revolve about a central axis of the wheel. When the product chamber is adjacent the nozzle, product is injected into the chambers and as the wheel continues to rotate.
