Title: Smoke trap apparatus and system
Inventor: MICHAEL COLSTON
IPC: A47J37/07
Filed: 2016-09-08
Abstract: A smoke trap includes a receptacle with a floor opening, a tubular riser surrounding the opening and extending from the floor into a receptacle cavity, and a capping element disposed over an aperture in a riser. The capping element has an upper wall and a side wall partially bounding a body cavity and extending from the upper wall toward the floor. The capping element covers the aperture from above and from the side without fluidly sealing the aperture such that the aperture is in fluid communication with the body cavity and the body cavity is in fluid communication with the receptacle cavity. A portion of the side wall extends past the aperture such that the aperture is disposed within the body cavity. Grease management systems that include the smoke trap have means for transferring grease into the receptacle cavity to inhibit smoke from escaping the receptacle cavity through the opening.

Inventor: Oren Ezer
IPC: H02J50/10
Filed: 2018-12-20
Abstract: A validation network for electric vehicles comprising a road section with an energy transmitter and a management communication unit, and a validation control centre. At least one electric vehicle receives energy from the energy transmitter, and a record of a magnitude of energy received by the vehicle’s energy receiver is transmitted to the validation control centre. A record of a magnitude of energy transmitted from the energy transmitter is transmitted to the validation control centre.
