Abstract:
Systems and methods for navigating within snapshots are provided. In one implementation a method is provided. The method includes receiving, while a current view is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting that a history view associated with the current view be displayed. The history view is displayed in response to the first user input, the history view including at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view, the earlier version including a hierarchical structure wherein a first element of the earlier version includes a second element. There is received, while the history view is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the second element. The method includes modifying, in response to the second user input, the current view according to the second element.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus having a plurality of memories is provided in which address generation logic (109) outputs to at least one of the plurality of memories a target memory address corresponding to the data to be accessed. Target memory prediction logic (113) outputs a prediction indicating in which one of the plurality of memories a target data is stored. The target memory prediction logic (113) outputs the prediction in the same processing cycle as the output of the target memory address by the address generation logic (109). An associated method is also provided.
Abstract:
A load control system that communicates with existing automated meter reading communications systems to interrupt and shed loads at a customer location. The system includes a master controller that listens to communications between a utility meter and the reading system. The controller receives tier and/or pricing information and will instruct a load control unit to interrupt certain loads based on the information. In addition, the system may be employed as a load shedding system where a command may be forwarded to the master controller to disconnect loads based on action levels. The command may be sent via a TCP/IP communications system to a node in the reading system and the forwarded via a radio network to the master controller to reduce latency. Predictive shedding may be performed based on forecast loads.
Abstract:
A cache memory 2 includes error bits corresponding to each line of data. An error detecting circuit uses these error bits 12, 14, 16, 18 to detect if a soft error has occurred within the data of a cache line. If such an error has occurred, then the line may be refilled from the main memory or some other action taken, such as a write back or generation of a soft error abort signal.
Abstract:
A fault is located in a transmission line with a sending end, a receiving end, and a tapped load connected to the transmission line at a tap node. The tap node divides the transmission line into a sending side and a receiving side. The sending end and the receiving end each include a measuring device. The fault location is determined by obtaining measured circuit parameters including measured pre-fault and faulted current and voltage values at the sending end and at the receiving end of the transmission line. The phase angle difference due to unsynchronized measurement using the measured pre-fault current and the measured pre-fault voltage values may be calculated. The load impedance of the tapped load is calculated. A first fault location is calculated assuming that the fault is located on the sending side of the tap node. A second fault location is calculated assuming that the fault is located on the receiving side of the tap node. The fault location is selected from one of the first fault location and the second fault location, by selecting the fault location having a value within a predetermined range representing a full distance between two nodes.
Abstract:
A method and system for estimating phasors and tracking the frequency of a signal is provided. The method uses a variable N-point DFT to compute one or more phasors based on data acquired from one or more sampled signals. At each sampling interval the change in phasor angle between the current sampling interval and the previous sampling interval is determined and used to estimate the instantaneous frequency of the signal. Instantaneous frequencies are averaged over a cycle of the signal. In addition, a number of discrete frequencies and corresponding DFT windows based on a fixed sampling rate and a predetermined fundamental frequency of the signal are defined and used in estimating the instantaneous frequency. Once the average cycle frequency is determined the DFT window is adjusted by setting it equal to the DFT window corresponding to the discrete frequency closest to the average cycle frequency.
Abstract:
A silt and debris catching apparatus comprises a housing component and a catchment component. The housing component is adapted to fit within a valve box assembly. The catchment component is coupled to the housing component and includes a filter. The filter retains material that enters the valve box assembly.
Abstract:
The present invention is comprised of a pendant with a wearable display (functional jewelry) and accompanying mobile app that allow users to choose an emoji/image from the app for display on the pendant. The invention will transmit image data (jpegs, gifs) from its mobile app for wireless pickup by the “Emogems” pendant (AMOLED 1.4″ round display). One image/emoji will be displayed on the pendant at a time, although the user will be able to replace displayed images at will by making selections from the emoji library on the app. When no emoji is selected, while the display is on, the Emogems logo is visible on the display as a default image. Most images/emoji will be static, but some include animated gifs that animate indefinitely.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system that efficiently and effectively delivers a sanitizing fluid to ducts in the form of a fog or mist is described. A canister that contains a liquid sanitizing solution is attached to a compressor and includes a straw that has an internal passageway that extends into the liquid and a venturi tube above the level of the liquid that connects with the internal passageway in the straw. The headspace above the liquid in the canister is pressurized, causing fluid to flow upwardly in the straw when a trigger is depressed, drawing fluid upwardly in part by the venturi. As the liquid passes the venturi the pressurized air that is flowing into the venturi causes the fluid to form a fine mist. The mist, under pressure from the compressor, is routed into a flexible delivery tube that has been previously positioned in a duct system. The terminal end of the tube has an atomizing ball attached thereto and the atomizing ball has a series of orifices through which the misted, atomized fluid is delivered. As fogged sanitizing solution flows through the orifices it is deposited on the interior surfaces of the duct. The delivery tube and the attached atomizing ball are withdrawn from the duct as the sanitizing fog is emitted from the ball. The fan in the HVAC system is not activated so there is no deliver of the sanitizer through registers and into the living space. The apparatus and method may be used to apply other fluids to other surfaces.
Abstract:
An ozone generator is contained in a housing having a fan for inducing air flow through the housing and over an ozone generating plate where atmospheric oxygen is electrochemically converted to ozone, which flows out of the housing through a grid opening. The ozone generating plate is defined by a glass plate having electrically conductive grids on both sides thereof and each grid is electrically powered to create corona discharge from the conductor; as air and oxygen in the air flows over the plate it is converted to ozone.
