  • Patent number: 12008727
    Abstract: A map image is displayed via a user interface. A user selection of a location marker or one of a set of textual driving directions is received via the user interface. In response to the received user selection, an interactive information window overlaid within the map image is generated. Generating the interactive information window includes providing additional information regarding a location related to the marker or to the one of the set of textual driving directions.

  • Publication number: 20240125827
    Abstract: When implementing a PMU network, creation of synchrophasors is achieved by centralising the determining of phasors and corresponding time-stamps at a location away from the actual measurement locations. Alternatively, or in addition to time-stamping phasors, time-stamping of any received signals and/or measurements derived from those signals is enabled. These signals are received from appropriate sensors distributed along optical fibres such as may be incorporated in modern power cables. Likewise, control signals can be communicated along optical fibres such as may be incorporated in modern power cables, and a number of approaches to ensuring control signals are received by the intended control modules are provided. Either or both the PMU network and control system can be implemented in a power network by exploiting existing optical fibre infrastructure in this way, and control signals can be transmitted dependent on analysis performed on synchrophasors.

  • Patent number: 10347088
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for playing and managing a card game are described. The card game is known as “Pick Poker” and incorporates elements of traditional poker with that of paramutual wagering. A pool of common Community Cards are dealt, and players select their preferred starting hand from that pool of Community Cards. Subsequently, a pool of common Replacement Cards are dealt, and players complete a 5 card poker hand from the Replacement Cards. Each player's final poker hand consists of the cards they chose from the Community Cards in addition to cards selected from the Replacement Cards. Players with the best hand (as determined by the rules of the game) are awarded a at least some of the pot. In some versions, multiple players each having the best hand obtain equal shares of the pot.

  • Patent number: 9588397
    Abstract: A novel method for enhancing (for improved average power), stabilizing (to reduce rms noise), and wavelength tuning supercontinuum generation is described for numerous applications including but not limited to metrology, spectroscopy, and biomedical imaging. What is described is a way of enhancing only a small bandwidth portion of the optical spectrum by means of self-seeding in the supercontinuum. This cost-effective method allows for wavelength tuning while maintaining the enhancement.

  • Publication number: 20160304064
    Abstract: A windshield wiper assembly includes a washer fluid distribution assembly configured to securely connect to a windshield arm interface. A first squeegee holder is configured to securely receive a first squeegee. A second squeegee holder is configured to securely receive a second squeegee. This is done in such a way that the second squeegee, in use, contacts the windshield once the washer fluid distribution assembly is positioned just so, and the second squeegee holder is spaced apart from the first squeegee holder.
