Abstract: A system and techniques for intelligent network design allows for capture and conversion of a basic network design, often manually created, into a digital format without duplication of effort. The disclosed techniques provide a faster, more intelligent approach for designing a network by analyzing many thousands of existing network designs and recommending proposed solutions based on user provided objectives. The techniques can generate provider independent code that provides flexibility in supporting arbitrary provider targets. The techniques can also output provider specific code that allow for rapid, efficient deployment of the network. In addition, the technique can output network system architecture designs of varying details that can be customized for the intended audience. The techniques provide for automated importing and updating provider changes to network components, schemas, and application programming interfaces reducing any lag in system design.

Abstract: A host automated meter reading (AMR) device may communicate with one or more client AMR devices in proximity to the host meter. The host and client AMR devices operate as master and slave devices, respectively, in a host-client AMR device system. The host AMR device may transmit command and control functions to the client AMR devices, and may receive AMR device information from each client AMR device. The host AMR device may also transmit AMR device information from both itself and the client AMR devices over a communications network to a utility. Furthermore, the host AMR device may receive command and control functions from the utility via the same communications network, and may relay those functions to the AMR devices associated with that particular host AMR device.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring utility meter status, and transmitting a status message via an output device in communication with a universal communications interface in the event that the utility meter status meets a predetermined condition. The voltage level of a utility meter is monitored through a voltage input interface. A digital signal representing the voltage level is transmitted to a microprocessor. The microprocessor monitors the digital signal for a predetermined condition. Once a predetermined condition is met, the microprocessor transmits a status message to a universal communications interface connected to at least one output device. The status message is converted to the signal format employed by the output device and the converted status message is passed to the output device. The output device may then transmit the status message to a remote receiver.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring utility meter status, and transmitting a status message via an output device connected to a universal communications interface in the event that the utility meter status meets a predetermined condition. Typically, the predetermined condition is a power loss, signified by a drop in voltage or current. The system is connected to a utility meter, such as an electric meter. The voltage level of the electric meter is monitored through a voltage input interface. An analog-to-digital converter transforms the voltage waveform into a series of digital is data packets, which are then transmitted to a microprocessor. The microprocessor monitors the digital signal for a power loss indication, or other predetermined condition. Once a predetermined condition is met, the microprocessor transmits a status message across a universal serial bus to a universal communications interface.

Abstract: There is provided a device, system, and method for reporting a change in the power status of power supplied through an electric outlet. A power outage notification device detects the change in the power status of the power, such as a power outage or a power restoration, supplied through the electric outlet, places a call to an integrated voice response system (IVR) using a telecommunications network, and transmits power status notification information to the IVR. The power status notification device contains software or computer executable instructions to accomplish the reporting. The power status notification device is programmable and reprogrammable. The device requires no battery and programmed parameters may be used to determine how power in the device is maintained.

Abstract: A method for generating a representation of a track which is to be followed through a virtual space. A path is steered through the space, track path data representing the path is stored, and the track is established to follow that path. The track may be manipulated by selecting at least two points on the track, and applying a predetermined effect to the track between the two selected points. Navigational instructions may be generated which if obeyed will allow a vehicle to follow a route about a previously established track. Track geometry is determined by looking ahead along the track in the direction of travel, and instructions are derived in response to the determined track geometry.

Abstract: An embodiment of a electric power outage notification device is disclosed that combines several components including voltage transformation, a comparator circuit, a microprocessor and a data/fax modem chip. The invention further incorporates support components that aid in its overall functionality including a read-only memory, random access memory and a real-time clock. The unit is fully programmable using these components and can be programmed by software means to send an outage report to a selected remote computer modem, facsimile machine or alphanumeric pager. This outage report is sent to a programmed phone number after a power outage of a predetermined duration of time. The unit also reverses its role by providing notification of restored power.

Abstract: A video system, comprising a pair of digital video cameras and a data prosing system, which is used to determine the location of a golf ball during flight and the location of the golf ball when its flight is completed. The video cameras are fixedly mounted on a golf cart and boresighted to insure that the field of view for one camera overlaps the field of view for the other camera allowing the golf ball to be tracked after the golf ball is struck by the golfer. Each of the video cameras has an image array comprising a plurality of image sensing elements. As the golf ball travels along its flight path a light image of the golf ball is detected by at least one of the image sensing elements of the image array for each camera during a scan of the camera's image array. Each camera generates a data bit stream indicating the location of the image sensing elements on the image array which sense the golf ball's light image for each scan of the image array.
