Abstract: A household composting device having housing and composting regions for receiving compostable waste material, the device further having a bucket positioned within the housing, a grinding assembly, and a condenser assembly, configured to: facilitate an outlet air flow leaving the composting region via an air outlet; expose the outlet air outlet to a cooler air flow to cause the air flow to condense into a condensate and an inlet airflow; capture the condensate; and redirect the inlet airflow into the composting region. In addition, there is a system and method for the creation of a waste reduction digital currency, based on waste reduction by the device, the method including receiving, from the waste reduction device, a waste reduction data; validating, by a validator, the waste reduction data; and calculating a number of waste reduction digital currency, based on the validated waste reduction data.

Abstract: A smart voltage dip simulator apparatus and method are configured to test a motor starter ride through circuit. The simulator apparatus includes a power supply, an output switch, a test switch, a test lamp, a time selector, and a programmable logic controller. The power supply provides an output voltage to the motor starter when an output switch is actuated. A test of the motor starter is executed and a duration of the test is controlled by a selected time setting. The controller includes code therein configured to apply a predetermined dip to reduce the applied input voltage to the power supply and to generate the output voltage applied to the motor starter for the selected duration of the test. A method is performed to operate the simulator.
