Abstract: Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of verifying reliability of instructions for a device are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a reliability requirement associated with instructions for a device and receiving, from a user, an assertion in relation to the reliability requirement. The method includes generating a cryptographic assertion tracer (CAT) based at least in part on the received assertion. The method includes receiving assertion-related instructions in association with the CAT and generating a first code verification encrypted reproducible record based at least in part on the CAT and the received assertion-related instructions. The method then includes reporting that the reliability requirement is addressed.

Abstract: A latching system used for a rotary closure of a shoe.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and associated methods for an improved rotary closure for tensioning a tensioned lacing element are disclosed herein. In particular, the improved rotary closure includes an adjuster component in association with a tensioning component to incrementally counter-rotate the tensioning component and a tensioned cylindrical device, enabling micro-adjustment of the rotary closure without complete de-tensioning of the tensioned cylindrical device.

Abstract: Various embodiments for a traction element used with athletic shoes having a stud body with a metal insert that extends axially from the stud body and methods for manufacturing such traction elements are disclosed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and associated method for a micro-adjustable traction element are disclosed herein. The micro-adjustable traction element system includes an outsole for positioning along a substrate of a shoe. The outsole secures a traction element to the outsole while enabling positional micro-adjustment of the traction element along the outsole. In one embodiment of the micro-adjustable traction element system, for each traction element positioned along the outsole, the outsole includes a receiver element configured for variable positioning within a pocket of the outsole to receive the traction element.

Abstract: An automatic driver-dimming-mode detection protocol includes subjecting, via a dimming bus, a luminaire driver to a first driver control signal of test analog voltages. Forcing the luminaire driver, via the first driver control signal, into a power output response that includes: (a) a constant output power mode, or (b) at least two discernable different output power levels. Detecting a dimming mode of the luminaire driver. The step of detecting the dimming mode of the luminaire driver includes: measuring, via a power metering circuit, a power metering measurement corresponding to the power output response; and based on the power metering measurement of the luminaire driver being: (a) the constant output power mode, determining that the luminaire driver is a digital dimming mode type (e.g., DALI), or (b) the at least two discernable different output power levels, determining that the luminaire driver is an analog dimming mode type (e.g., 0-10V).

Abstract: An intelligent streetlight may include a modem capable of communicating on a mobile communications network. The intelligent streetlight may be communicate with a network operations center (“NOC”) via the mobile communications network. In some aspects, the intelligent streetlight configures the modem to transmit on the mobile network based on multiple types of network provisioning data. For example, the modem may have a network configuration, such as a low-bandwidth mobile data plan, based on stored provisioning data. The modem may reconfigure the modem based on additional provisioning data for an additional network configuration, such as a high-bandwidth mobile data plan. In some cases, the additional provisioning data is requested by the streetlight from the NOC. In some cases, the NOC may provide the additional provisioning data to multiple intelligent streetlights, such that the multiple streetlights are each reconfigured in a short period of time.

Abstract: Adjustable traction is provided in a traction cleat by selectively restricting or not the amount of flexure permitted for a dynamic traction element on the cleat. Restricting flexure is alternatively achieved by an adjustably positionable ring or by rotating the cleat to align the dynamic element with different shoe sole topographical features. A dual locking post is provided to reduce the surface area required on the cleat hub for locking structures. The cleat is formed in a two shot molding process that permits elongations of the dynamic traction elements without sacrificing the integrity of the cleat structure.
