Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for managing energy distribution. Data relating to energy usage by one or more energy receiving devices may be collected and used to determine an energy transfer schedule. One or more wireless energy transfer devices may wirelessly transfer energy, based on the energy transfer schedule, to one or more of the energy receiving devices.

Abstract: A new and improved toothbrush holder device and method of using is described which can support a toothbrush in a cantilever fashion so that the toothbrush can be allowed to hygienically air dry without touching the bristles onto any surface. The toothbrush holder comprises a unitary length of wire bent into various figure eight configurations that have a first loop; a second loop and a arcuately-curved portion having a crossover point therebetween. The second loop is aligned outside the plane of the first loop. A toothbrush may be held within the toothbrush holder by cantilever suspending the toothbrush handle over the crest of the first loop and below the crossover point. The toothbrush holder may either be horizontally or vertically mounted onto a support surface. The stand alone embodiment of the toothbrush holder may be supported onto a horizontal surface with the second loop directly contacting the support surface such as a cabinet or a sink top surface.
