Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to identifying electronic forms using spatial information of elements presented on a website. Identifying a type of an electronic form may include identifying particular input elements associated with the form, determining a bounding region of the input element, expanding the bounding region, and determining any intersections of the expanded bounding region with one or more label elements proximate to the input element. Keywords of the label elements can be analyzed to increase or decrease a confidence level that an input element is associated with a particular input type. A bounding region can be dynamically sized based on a number of intersecting elements. An electronic form can be identified based on the identified input elements. In some instances, the electronic forms may assist a user in accessing or updating remotely stored personal information, including payment information, across one or more third party electronic sites.

Abstract: A service provider may assist in management of remotely stored data. The service provider may cause a user device to update remotely stored personal information, including payment information, across one or more third party electronic sites (e.g., websites, applications, and/or other remote data repositories). The service provider may build a site directory of sites that store personal data. The site directory may include information to enable update of personal information for a specific site, such as which pages to access, what data to input, what type of inputs are acceptable, and other selections and/or inputs to create, modify, update, or switch personal information maintained by a site with new or different personal information. The service provider may create a script that, when executed by an application on a user device, may cause the user device to automatically update the personal information on one or more third party sites.

Abstract: A controllable primary switch for isolating a transformer from a power grid or network. The controllable primary switch is mountable within and integral to the transformer and is electrically connected to high voltage feeder cables to allow the transformer to be disconnected from the power grid or network. The controllable primary switch includes one or more vacuum interrupters having first and second electrical switch contacts mounted inside the casing, an actuator for moving the second switch contact relative to the first switch contact in each of the one or more vacuum interrupters, and a handle connected to the actuator. The handle engages the actuator to move the second switch contact relative to the first switch contact.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques achieve soft-switching conditions by determining relative timing of switch states and events, and making recurring timing adjustments in successive cycles (i.e., cycle-by-cycle) to reduce timing errors that introduce switching losses. Timing adjustments provide a prediction of when an optimal soft-switching condition will exist during a subsequent cycle so that switch-actuation signals are provided, irrespective of inherent signaling and feedback delays, in advance of actually observing the condition, thereby subsequently changing a switching state within a desired threshold of the targeted soft-switching condition. Error in the prediction is observed and compensating corrections applied during the next cycle.

Abstract: An end-sensing sensor assembly for proximity sensing including one or more sensing devices positioned between two axially magnetized ring magnets having like poles facing one another such that the magnetic fields emanating from the two axially magnetized ring magnets define a moveable balanced zone therebetween. The one or more sensing devices may be positioned within the balanced zone or outside the balanced zone, or combinations thereof. The balanced zone shifts in response to the approach of a magnetic, permeable, and/or ferrous material which cause the sensing device to actuate in response to a sufficient shift in the balanced zone. Upon removal or departure of the magnetic, permeable, and/or ferrous material, the balance zone shifts back to the initial position prior to the approach of the magnetic, permeable, and/or ferrous material.

Abstract: A wire connection terminal structure includes a leaf spring, a conductive plate and a fixing frame framing and connecting with the leaf spring and the conductive plate. The conductive plate is formed with a base section assembled with the fixing frame. The leaf spring is formed with an elastic swingable holding section extending to a position in contact with the base section. The holding section and the base section define therebetween an elastic holding mouth. An external electrical wire can be plugged into the holding mouth and held between the holding section and the base section and electrically connected with the conductive plate. The conductive plate and the fixing frame are two separate components so that the conductive plate is solely made of a high-conductivity material, while the fixing frame is made of a material with higher structural rigidity.

Abstract: The current invention provides an improved security system sensor assembly. The sensor assembly of the current invention reduces installation costs when adding a security system. to an existing structure by eliminating the need to install magnets on existing doors. The sensor assembly of the current invention allows the security system to monitor the locked or unlocked status of each monitored door by sensing when a deadbolt lock is in the locked position. Additionally, the sensor assembly will alert the security system when a deadbolt lock is moved from the locked position without authorization.

Abstract: A retrofittable valve monitor provides an input to an electrical circuit to indicate a fully closed position of a ball valve. A magnetically permeable object attached to the ball valve lever handle actuates a magnetic reed switch in a proximity sensor when the ball valve is moved to the fully closed position. A bracket which fits between the ball valve body and the ball valve lever handle is held in place by the ball valve locking nut so the proximity sensor is held in proper alignment to be actuated by the magnetically permeable object. The actuated reed switch provides an input to a switched electrical circuit.

Abstract: A switch for use in a ride-on vehicle for children. The switch includes plural contact sets operated by an actuator to control the speed and/or direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A traction position indicator for a feeding tube catheter provides a permanent magnet and a sensor, both in the distal end portion of the catheter, wherein the sensor is responsive to the presence of a magnetic field of predetermined strength supplied by an external magnet. The external magnet forms a magnetic coupling with the catheter magnet to permit manipulation of the catheter in response to movement of the external magnet. The sensor responds to the magnetic field of the external magnet, but only when the external magnet and the catheter magnet are magnetically coupled sufficiently to create a traction force so that the catheter distal end portion can be manipulated by movement of the external magnet.Apparatus for creating a magnetic guidance path for a remote device includes a follower magnet and a sensor, both of which are attached to the remote device, and a leader magnet.
