The present disclosure is directed to self-synchronizing devices that can connect and self-synchronizes voltage, frequency and phase of two or more power sources. The disclosed embodiments enable a modular power system to serve as the primary or secondary source of power for applications requiring loads from a few kilowatts (KW) to the scale of megawatts (MW). The modular system is generalized to use either a single or multiple power generation sources at once, with the ability to connect and self-synchronize voltage, frequency, and phase of a variety of different types of power sources. Power control systems designed to function with self-synchronizing technology enable a modular power system to satisfy a wide variety of needs, simplifying the existing method of achieving synchronization and enabling new features of resiliency and expandability. The self-synchronization can be implemented into a wide variety of electronics including but not limited to inverters and generator controllers.

The invention relates to an urban emergency escape method and apparatus for use in escaping from high-rise buildings. The method sets forth a series steps that allows one to successfully evacuate a high-rise building that is filled with smoke due a fire or the elevator system is not working due to an explosion or a terrorist attack of some kind. The apparatus utilized comprises a carry-on bag with a handle and wheels for easy mobility and a zippered cover that encloses a plurality of interconnected rope sections, a descent controller, a plurality of anchoring straps, at least one harness, D-rings and a glass breaking tool. After donning the harness and breaking the window to allow exit, the anchoring straps are secured to several different structural components within the room and tied to a first end of a rope segment. The free end of the rope segment is pre-fed through the descent controller, the user steps out the broken window and allows evacuee to descend by manipulating the descent controller.

A fishing rod holder (H) includes a first leg (,) having an inner edge (,) in direct contact with an inner surface (,) of a vertical sidewall (,) of a bucket (B) or other support object. A second leg (,) having a length shorter than the first leg is disposed parallel to the first leg. The second leg is in direct contact with an outer surface (,) of the vertical sidewall (,) of the bucket. The first leg and the second leg define a slot (,) which receives the vertical sidewall (,). An arm (,) extends from an upper end (,) of the second leg. The arm (,) includes a first portion (,) extending upward from the second leg at an angle away from the first leg and a second portion (,) extending upward from the arm first portion at a negative angle. The arm lower and upper portions each include an inner side (,). A bridge (,) spans a top end (,) of the first leg and an upper end of the second leg, interconnecting the first leg and the second leg. The bridge includes a side (,) extending upward from the inner side of the arm lower portion in parallel relation with the inner side (,) of the arm upper portion. The side (,) of the bridge and the inner sides (,) of the arm lower and upper portions define a channel (,) for supporting a fishing rod (F).
