Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090058088Systems and Methods for Remote Utility Metering and Meter Monitoring - A system and method for generating and harvesting energy in response to the flow of water through rotating device, such as a nutating or oscillating disk. Mechanical energy from flow of water is converted into electrical energy via an energy conversion unit. For example, the power generation system may be used to power electronic and mechanical devices used in automated meter reading (AMR) systems. The power generator system may recharge a storage circuit that enables long term AMR operations without the need for battery replacement. The power generation system, in various embodiments, can provide additional power for two-way communication and other sensors such as pressure, temperature, water quality and services such as remote shut-off, event-based messaging, and water quality monitoring.03-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090296796METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED STORAGE AREA NETWORK LINK INTEGRITY TESTING - A method and apparatus that is configured to issue an echo extended link service with a payload of data patterns that are known in the art of fibre channel to produce jitter. The inventive apparatus is configured to use an echo extended link service to send data with a specified data pattern. Failing data patterns are compared against data patterns that are known in the art of fibre channel to create jitter and the results may be presented to the user.12-03-2009
20100095160Storage Area Network (SAN) Link Integrity Tester - A tester that generates various data patterns to assure that link receivers and transmitters are functioning properly (i.e., are functioning according to a relevant network specification) across the entire storage area network. In various embodiments, this tester may be used in Fibre Channel type SANs or in fiber connectivity (FICON) type SANs.04-15-2010

20110236319METHOD OF EVALUATING PLANT PROTECTION - A method is provided for evaluating a protected plant having a protection mechanism. A population of immature insects (i.e., larvae or nymphs) belonging to an insect species having a plurality of instars is first exposed to the protected plant such that the protected plant is at least contacted thereby. The insect exposure extends for a selected time period corresponding to a sublethal exposure of the insect population to the protected plant. The exposure of the insect population to the protected plant is then halted following the selected time period and insects collected. A physical characteristic of at least some collected insects is measured. The measured physical characteristics are then statistically analyzed so as to determine an efficacy of the protection mechanism of the protected plant with respect to the insect population. Associated methods are also provided.09-29-2011

20080211656911 Emergency light - Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for generating emergency alerts. A communication is processed from a calling communications address to an emergency response communications address. A profile is associated to the calling communications address and to the emergency response communications address. A physical address associated with the calling communications address is retrieved, and an emergency alert control signal is generated. The emergency alert control signal is sent that activates an emergency alert at the physical address.09-04-2008
20090129563Methods, Systems, and Products for Processing Emergency Communications - Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for processing an emergency communication. A communication is received from a sender's communications address that is destined to an emergency response communications address. The sender's communications address and the emergency response communications address are associated to an emergency alert profile that stores emergency information. A prompt is produced for a code that blocks generation of the emergency communication. When the code is not entered during the communication, then the emergency communication is generated.05-21-2009
20100029246Methods, Systems & Products for Emergency Location - Methods, systems, and products provide emergency services. A sender's communications address and an emergency response communications address are associated to a profile. A current geographic location associated with the sender's communications address is retrieved and communicated to the emergency response communications address.02-04-2010
