  • Patent number: 11958380
    Abstract: Dynamic allocation of power modules for charging electric vehicles is described herein. The charging system includes multiple dispensers that each include one or more power modules that can supply power to any one of the dispensers at a time. A dispenser includes a first power bus that is switchably connected to one or more local power modules and switchably connected to one or more power modules located remotely in another dispenser. The one or more local power modules are switchably connected to a second power bus in the other dispenser. The dispenser includes a control unit that is to cause the local power modules and the remote power modules to switchably connect and disconnect from the first power bus to dynamically allocate the power modules between the dispenser and the other dispenser.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10179276
    Abstract: A soccer board game to emulate the action, skill and strategy of a conventional soccer match. The board game includes a game board having markings of a conventional soccer pitch. Cylindrical player pieces are utilized to manipulate a ball piece and impart a sliding or a flipping motion in the ball piece. The players may pass, shoot, or throw the ball in actions to emulate the play of a conventional soccer match.

  • Publication number: 20060094009
    Abstract: A method for characterising nucleic acid molecules comprises the steps of i) introducing a modified base which is a substrate for a DNA endonuclease, for example Endonuclease V from E. coli, into a target DNA molecule; and ii) reacting the nucleic acid containing the modified base with said DNA endonuclease such that the nucleic acid is cleaved to generate an upstream fragment condition said modified base and bearing a 3? hydroxyl group. The upstream fragment generated in step ii) can be used as a primer for a subsequent extension reaction. The modified base as such targets cleavage of the nucleic acid strand because it directs the endonuclease to cut the nucleic acid strand on which it resides at a site predominantly one nucleotide removed therefrom, so that the modified base remains in the nucleci acid as th upstream fragment. The method can be used for detecting polymorphisms and mutations and for nucleic acid indentification and profiling.
