Abstract: A utensil that retains a food item or other object in a liquid bath includes a core portion and at least one aim extending from the core portion at the upper end thereof to hover over the object to keep it fully submerged. An anchor, such as a suction cup, secures the core portion in the bath container.

Abstract: A method for energy management in a mobile medical unit, including: using a microgrid assessment tool to capture both granular load profiles and power quality data for a mobile medical unit powered by a microgrid; modeling a plurality of scenarios, using the data captured by the microgrid assessment tool to determine hybrid power system optimization; and supplying power to the mobile medical unit from one or more of a plurality of energy sources in the hybrid microgrid based on the optimization results. The plurality of energy sources includes at least one renewable energy source and at least one non-renewable energy source. A mobile medical system that includes a mobile medical unit and a hybrid microgrid configured to provide power to the mobile medical unit. The hybrid microgrid includes a measurement, verification, and control module, at least one renewable energy source, at least one energy storage device, and a generator.
