Abstract: A locomotive consist communication system and method of communication using directional communication devices that allow each locomotive to communicate wirelessly with at least one locomotive directly attached to it. Each of the locomotives is equipped with at least one directional communication device placed on the side of the locomotive directly facing the locomotive attached to it. The locomotive consist communication system forms a communication network running through the consist that allows various locomotives to communicate with each other and share information. This directional wireless communication is resistant to multipath interference, requires less power, and is less likely to be damaged because it is situated on the side of the locomotive facing the locomotive attached to it.

Abstract: Green Tees, Tee Green, Green Planet Golf Tees look and perform like an average golf tee in connection with the game of golf, but in connection with the Environment, they are constructed of plant nutrients designed specifically to release nutrients continuously in soil and grass thereby feeding the adjacent vegetation, foliage, grass, fairway, teebox or woods.

Abstract: A plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system is provided that is configured for Wi-Fi or other wireless network and to be directly plugged into a face plate/workstation. The plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system advantageously provides ease of integration into an existing wired network without the use of a patch cord, security from removal by unauthorized personnel, non obtrusiveness in relation to other face plate/workstation jacks, and the ability to be powered through an Ethernet connection to avoid the need for a separate power source. Furthermore, the plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system may beneficially permit the integration of complementary connections within the access point including, for example, data, voice, and video connection types.
