A captive fastener is disclosed having a longitudinal slot along the shank for receiving a hold-out clip, and a chamber that houses a retractable push out pin. The push out pin is spring actuated to extend out of the shank and can be retracted into the cavity against the bias of the spring to pass through a primary panel and subpanel. The push out pin is shaped to bear against a counterbore and secure the fastener within a panel while other components are affixed to the fastener.

A captive fastener is disclosed having a longitudinal slot along the shank for receiving a hold out clip, and a pair of diametrically opposed slots for receiving a pair of push out clips. The push out clips are formed with hook shaped ends that catch and engage an edge of a wall surface to set the distance of depth of the fastener inside the wall. The hold out clip and push out clips are shaped to receded inside their respective slots in the presence of an interfering surface as the fastener passes through the wall in a first direction (insertion), but the push out clips will not recede into their slots in the second direction (withdrawal).

A captive fastener is disclosed having a longitudinal slot along the shank for receiving a hold-out clip, and a chamber that houses a retractable cam member. The cam member is spring actuated to extend out of the shank and can be retracted into the cavity against the bias of the spring to pass through a primary panel and subpanel. The cam member is shaped to counter-rotate in the presence of a traverse force, such as the panel bearing against it.

Dynamic allocation of power modules for charging electric vehicles is described herein. The charging system includes multiple dispensers that each include one or more power modules that can supply power to any one of the dispensers at a time. A dispenser includes a first power bus that is switchably connected to one or more local power modules and switchably connected to one or more power modules located remotely in another dispenser. The one or more local power modules are switchably connected to a second power bus in the other dispenser. The dispenser includes a control unit that is to cause the local power modules and the remote power modules to switchably connect and disconnect from the first power bus to dynamically allocate the power modules between the dispenser and the other dispenser.

A first dispenser receives a request to initiate charging service for charging an electric vehicle. The first dispenser determines an amount of power that is available for the charging service for charging the electric vehicle including determining an availability status of multiple power modules that are located in the first dispenser and a second dispenser. The first dispenser determines whether the available amount of power is enough to meet a requested or determined amount of power draw of the electric vehicle. If the available amount of power is not enough to meet the requested or determined amount of power draw of the electric vehicle, and if there is at least one of the power modules that is available, the first dispenser requests allocation of the available power module and charging service commences.

A captive fastener and method of use is disclosed wherein the screw is comprised of a head and shank, and where the shank includes a radial counter bore that retains a spring biased pin. The spring may bear against a plug in the counter bore or the shank inner wall, and biases the pin outward such that it extends outside of the shank in the absence of a compressive force. The captive screw is inserted through a top panel by tilting the screw at the opening of the panel such that the pin is pushed inward into the channel formed by the counter bore (against the force of the spring). Once the pin is recessed in the screw, the screw is passed through the panel opening until the shank emerges on the other side. Once the shank pushes through the panel, the pin will emerge under the biasing of the spring to extend outward of the shank in the radial direction. The pin thus prevents the screw from disengaging with the panel. A holdout fork is applied to the shank to anchor the screw at the retracted position, which keeps the screw up right against the surface of the panel.

Dynamic allocation of power modules for charging electric vehicles is described herein. A power cabinet includes multiple power modules that each are capable of supplying an amount of power to a dispenser. Multiple dispensers are coupled with the same power cabinet. A first power bus couples a first dispenser and switchably connects the power modules to the first dispenser; and a second power bus couples a second dispenser and switchably connects the power modules to the second dispenser. The power cabinet includes a control unit that is configured to cause the power modules to switchably connect and disconnect from the first power bus and the second power bus to dynamically allocate the power modules between the first dispenser and the second dispenser.

A captive fastener comprising a head, a neck, and a threaded shaft, and one or more spring loaded pins disposed within respective cavities of the shaft along at least first and second radial directions. Each spring loaded pin is located in a chamber of the shaft with an annular rim on at a proximal end of the pin that prevents the pin completely passing through an aperture and out the chamber. The distal end of the pin projects through the aperture and out of the shaft when the spring is not compressed. That is, the spring biases the pin outward such that a distal portion of the pin projects through the hole, but the spring can collapse to allow the fastener to pass through a fitted opening sized to receive the shaft of the fastener before the pin expands outward.
