  • Patent number: 11551486
    Abstract: A data logging device tracks the operation of a vehicle or driver actions. The device includes a storage device, which may be removable or portable, having a first memory portion that may be read from and may be written to in a vehicle and a second memory portion that may be read from and may be written to in the vehicle. The second memory portion may retain data attributes associated with the data stored in the first removable storage device. A processor reads data from an automotive bus that transfers data from vehicle sensors to other automotive components. The processor writes data to the first memory portion and the second memory portion that reflect a level of risk or safety. A communication device links the storage device to a network of computers. The communication device may be accessible through software that allows a user to access files related to a level of risk or safety and other software that may be related to those files.

  • Publication number: 20150214787
    Abstract: A system and method uses solar generated DC electricity to power an AC component in parallel with an AC grid via a variable frequency motor drive (VFD). During operation of the DC solar array a DC grid voltage is adjusted via a signal to a first rectifier to maintain the DC grid voltage below a DC array voltage such that power for operation of the AC component is preferentially sourced from the DC solar array. The system and method maintain the use of renewable energy to augment or largely replace expensive grid connected energy.
