Abstract: The “HeadLyte” Safety Device is intended to be attached or embedded within a helmet worn by a bicyclist, or, worn around the head of a walker or jogger. The “HeadLyte” is comprised of a band that is populated with light emitting devices providing 360 degrees of illumination. The purpose of this illumination is to alert other individuals and/or vehicles as to the presence and direction of travel of the person wearing the “HeadLyte”, The light emitting devices are connected to a power source and a microcontroller that enables them to flash in a variety of patterns. The light emitting devices may also utilize color to indicate direction of color. The increased visibility provided by the light emitting devices, combined with the location of the “HeadLyte” as it is worn at the highest possible point on the walker, jogger or bicyclist will further enhance the visibility of the wearer to others.

Abstract: A premise system that is reliable, easy to install and easy to maintain, that provides data to a computing platform detailing the energy usage of the consumer, allowing the utility company to dynamically adjust rates and output levels so as to increase cost savings. An energy management system according to the invention is designed as a network of devices installed in the home or small office to efficiently make use of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) units and other appliances. Module devices installed on the network may communicate and transmit energy usage data to a central server, for example, located at the utility company. The utility company monitors the usage data as the data is periodically received and is able to generate messages that initiate energy saving programs specific to each premise.

Abstract: A document exchange system including a write dispatcher which receives semi-structured documents and access control information from a first party relating to authorized viewers of the document. A capsule creator merges the semi-structured document and the access control information from the write dispatcher into a second semi-structured document to form a capsule. A capsule database then stores the capsules. An indexer creates an index entry for the capsule and an index database stores these index entries. A read dispatcher receives inquiries and identification information from a second party. A query processor then searches the index database and a storage server retrieves all relevant capsules that the second party is authorized to access. A capsule extractor then extracts the posted documents to be forwarded to the second party.
