Abstract: A visualization system for monitoring performance data of an electrical power distribution network is provided. In one embodiment, a user may select a network circuit and view a network circuit diagram that includes indicia representing transformers and other electrical power distribution network elements positioned on a map. The relative positions of the indicia on the network circuit diagram may correspond to the relative physical locations of the transformers in the geographical area represented by the map. The indicia may be color coded to convey performance data to the user.

Abstract: A skin treatment regimen comprising six distinct products including a hydrating wash, a toner-astringent, an eye cream, a facial serum having alpha hydroxy and Beta Hydroxy Acids, a day cream having a sunscreen agent, and a night cream having spent grain wax and Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein. The regimen includes a five step morning process comprising washing the face with the hydrating wash, applying the toner-astringent, applying the eye cream to an eye area of the face, applying the facial serum to the face, and applying the day cream. The regimen further includes a five step process in the evening prior to going to bed, comprising washing the face with the hydrating wash, applying the toner-astringent, applying the eye cream to an eye area of the face, applying the facial serum, and applying the night cream.

Abstract: A tool holder having two distinct phases, a first phase in which the tool is held in an interference fit with sufficient mechanical interaction between the two for the tool to be rotated at high speed and perform its intended purpose on a workpiece, and a second phase in which the tool is sufficiently released from the interference fit to be rapidly removed from the holder (as by an automated apparatus).

Abstract: A tapered part measuring apparatus and method measures male and female tapered or conical parts. The apparatus and method use non-contact linear measurement technology for accurate and repeatable measurements, particularly of tapered parts with large deviations from their desired measurements. The tapered part suspends in non-contact position to the non-contact linear measurement probe on a true vertical axis to accurately assume the same position on replicate measurements.

Abstract: An apparatus, and its accompanying method, for reducing the drag of flows over a surface includes arrays of small disks and sensors. The arrays are embedded in the surface and may extend above, or be depressed below, the surface, provided they remain hydraulically smooth either when operating or when inactive. The disks are arranged in arrays of various shapes, and spaced according to the cruising speed of the vehicle on which the arrays are installed. For drag reduction at speeds of the order of 30 meters/second, preferred embodiments include disks that are 0.2 millimeter in diameter and spaced 0.4 millimeter apart. For drag reduction at speeds of the order of 300 meters/second, preferred embodiments include disks that are 0.045 millimeter in diameter and spaced 0.09 millimeter apart. Smaller and larger dimensions for diameter and spacing are also possible. The disks rotate in the plane of the surface, with their rotation axis substantially perpendicular to the surface.
