Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus include a clustered charge distribution and prioritized charge distribution system for electric vehicles (EVs). Distributed processing units (DPUs) receive member information about an EV or EV user. A power distribution manager (PDM) is coupled to each of the DPUs. The PDM includes a prioritizer. The prioritizer determines a prioritization for charging the EVs based on the member information received by each of the DPUs. Also disclosed is a method for providing clustered charge distribution and charge prioritization for electric vehicles. The method includes sensing whether power is requested by any one of a plurality of EVs within a cluster, generating individual EV-specific information for the EVs using the DPUs, transmitting the EV-specific information to the PDM, and selecting and applying a prioritization algorithm based at least in part on the transmitted information.

Abstract: A verification tool for testing the orientation of arranged items relative to a predetermined orientation pattern defined by the verification tool. The verification tool is movably engageable relative to the plurality of items mounted on a rack, hanger or similar transport device, and has a fully engaged position relative to the items. The verification tool provides a visual and physical indication that the items are in the proper orientation patterns by being fully engageable relative to the items, and the verification tool provides indication that one or more items are not properly oriented by contacting the improperly oriented items to prevent the full engagement of that tool. The verification tool also includes an opening for marking the properly aligned items with identification indicia which indicate the proper relative orientation of the item in further processing or use of the item.
