The present invention relates to an unmanned (100) and configurable as a standalone energy module mobile vehicle, which comprises: one chassis (1)a body (27) mounted on the chassis (1)a drive system (4) comprising a motor (51), the drive system (4) configured to receive commands from a user-operated controller, the vehicle (100) comprising at least a rechargeable battery module (80) configured to feed the motor (51) and provide a source of electrical energy.

A device that includes a housing configured to couple to a vehicle console. The device further includes a lid that is configurable between a closed position and an open position. The device further includes a lock is configured to transition from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the lock is configured to maintain the lid in the closed position. In the unlocked configuration, the lock is configured to release the lid from the closed position. The device further includes a user interface configured to display products, receive a user input identifying a product, receive card information, send an authorization request that requests a purchase of the product, and send an authorization signal to a controller in response to receiving an approval message. The device further includes the controller configured to send an actuation signal to unlock the lock in response to receiving the authorization signal.

An automated food preparation and delivery robot is disclosed. The automated food preparation and delivery robot comprises a communications system configured to receive a food order and address from a customer, a navigation system configured to automatically drive the vehicle to the address, and an automated food preparation system configured to prepare food in accordance with the food order while en route to the customer address. The automated food preparation system is configured to determine a drive time to travel to the customer address, and determine a preparation time to prepare the food in accordance with the food order. If the drive time is greater than the preparation time, the robot waits and then begins preparing the food after a delay substantially equal to the drive time minus the preparation time. In this manner, preparation of the food coincides with arrival at the customer address.

Mobile business units featuring modularized utilities for plug and play of business unit equipment provide a reconfigurable and scalable system of mobile business units for a variety of businesses including, for example, a mobile kitchen or “ghost kitchen”, classroom or office space, medical facilities, insurance or disaster relief facilities, fabrication units, pharmacies, grocery-to-go units, mobile repair garages, and mobile broadcasting centers. The mobile business units can be stacked, positioned side by side, positioned end to end, and interconnected in various systems using modular interconnection units. The modularized utilities enable quick reconfiguration and plug and play of business unit equipment so each mobile business unit can be rapidly reconfigured.

A mobile entertainment stage which when deployed has a stage floor size of approximately twenty feet by sixteen feet, a gross trailer weight of seven-thousand pounds, an overall trailered height of six feet, eight inches, and a standard bumper hitch coupler allowing for a broader range of vehicles for towing. The stage front can be on either side of the stage. The trailered length of the invention is twenty-six feet but includes a break away or fold away hitch to decrease the overall length to approximately twenty-three feet. The length, width and height of the invention allows it to be stored in many garages

Systems and methods are disclosed of a service cart for an aircraft or other vehicle, which includes a thermoelectric device capable of generating a current as a result of a temperature differential between a cold compartment of the cart and an ambient environment. The current can be either stored in a battery or other storage device, and used to power one or more electronic components associated with the cart.

A mobile child-related facility includes a compartment having one or more access means to provide admission into the compartment. The compartment includes at least one child-friendly relieving area; at least one child-friendly utility space; and at least one vending station including a product vending machine for dispensing one or more products for consumption during child-related activities. The child-friendly relieving area, the child-friendly utility space, and the vending station are independent of each other and are accessible through the one or more access means.

Methods and apparatus for advertising, promoting, marketing and/or selling products and services. The inventions include a mobile vehicle and moving showroom for advertising, promotion, marketing, and sales of products and services. The products and services may be promoted for direct sale from the moving showroom, or for sale from other outlets, such as retail stores and internet sales.

A meal delivery vehicle for delivering foods includes a vehicle unit, a cover unit, and a power supply. The cover unit is mounted to the vehicle unit and cooperates with a carrier surface of the vehicle unit to define a space to receive the foods therein. The cover unit includes a cover and a driving device connected to the cover and operable for converting the cover between a covering state, where the cover covers the space, and an open state, where the cover uncovers the space to allow the space to be in spatial communication with ambient surroundings. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the driving device to provide electricity thereto.
