  • Publication number: 20240144177
    Abstract: A system, method, process, and mechanism for fulfilling multi-vendor orders within a drive-through complex with a vertical transport system that delivers the multi-vendor orders to pick-up stations located below the floors with the vendors. The system receives an order from a user device of a user, wherein the order includes at least two sub-orders. The sub-orders are processed based at least on the preparation times. The sub-orders are tracked and an available drive-through lane with an available pick-up station is determined for the order including the sub-orders. Notifications may be sent to a user or third party user for order pick-up. When the order is complete, it is consolidated and the order is transferred to the available pick-up station.

  • Patent number: 9847634
    Abstract: An arc flash protection device including a sensor, a timer, and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect a presence of at least one entity or arc flash protection qualifying event in proximity to the generator set. The controller is configured to initiate an arc flash protection regime when the presence of the at least one person or arc flash protection qualifying event is detected in proximity to the generator set. The arc flash protection regime includes shutting down the generator set automatically upon detection of a short circuit.

  • Patent number: 8008795
    Abstract: A power generation system is disclosed for supplying power to an electrical grid. The system comprises a synchronous machine and coupling means for coupling the synchronous machine to a prime mover. Control means are provided to control the system such that the system is selectively operable in two modes. In the first mode, the synchronous machine is coupled to the prime mover and acts as a synchronous generator to supply power to the grid. In the second mode the synchronous machine is decoupled from the prime mover and acts as a synchronous condenser. This can allow parameters of the grid, such as power factor and voltage, to be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 7772376
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a desired chemical compound in a continuous reactor in which a part of the product stream exits the reactor and part of the product stream is recycled around the reactor in order to reduce the amount of buffer that would otherwise be required.
