The automatic transfer switch includes three pairs of switches, wherein each pair of switches is connectable to the primary and the secondary sources of three phase power, wherein each switch operates in unison with the other switch within its pair, wherein each pair of switches is connectable to a different one of the at least one single phase power load, and wherein each pair of switches is operable independently of the other pairs of switches.

  • Patent number: 9120018
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to implement a technique for generating interactive events in a simulation, such as creating encounters in an online computer game. In one implementation, encounters are created based on the players and the environment and allow for interaction that is different for different players. Players can select encounters for interaction and choose how to handle the encounter. Encounters may have one or more objectives for participating players to resolve. The objectives for the same encounter may be different for different characters depending on the characteristics of the player characters. If multiple player characters interact with the same encounter, they may each be presented with different objectives, some or all of which may be competing. In addition, the objectives for an encounter may change depending on how other objectives are resolved.
