  • Publication number: 20240059163
    Abstract: Embodiments of an electric vehicle (EV) charging system for implementation in structures that house electric vehicles, such as warehouses or parking structures, are disclosed. The EV charging system can be overhead mounted from a building's ceiling, using cable tray for electrical power distribution and an integrated EV charger mounting system, thus eliminating the risk of EV cables and charging handles being dropped on floor areas. The disclosed ceiling mountable system is especially advantageous for electric vehicle fleet charging applications and multi-level parking lot applications, as the disclosed system enables simplification and lowest-total-installed-cost in comparison to traditional ground-mounted EV charging systems and related electrical infrastructure.

  • Publication number: 20240049407
    Abstract: A pedestal has two sides that are opposite one another and to which various charging boxes can be mounted and electrically connected. For instance, the pedestal can have the same charging boxes mounted to the two sides and electrically connected with a power system upon which the pedestal is positioned. Instead, two different charging boxes can be mounted to the two sides. Importantly, either or both charging boxes can be easily removed by appropriate personnel and alternatively replaced with other charging boxes if, for instance, the market for needing specific electrical charging has changed or if the population of electrical vehicles needing electrical charging has grown in a new direction, by way of example.

  • Publication number: 20230189822
    Abstract: Food preparation apparatus and associated methods. In one method, dough is proofed in an oven compartment and then baked in the same oven compartment. Temperature and/or humidity can be controlled during proofing and/or baking cycles. A blower may be used, for example, to exhaust gas to ambient to reduce heat and/or moisture in the compartment. For example, the blower may be used between proofing and baking cycles to prepare an environment in the oven compartment for the baking cycle.
