  • Patent number: 10788542
    Abstract: A utility meter includes a meter housing that supports at least one current coil, a temperature sensor, and a processing circuit coupled to both. The current coil can be coupled to receive heat energy from a meter socket. The temperature sensor disposed generates a sensor signal based on a temperature within the meter housing. The processing circuit obtains the sensor signal and generates meter temperature information based at least in part thereon. The processing circuit also obtains a first predetermined threshold based on at least one of time of day information and date information. The processing circuit also determines whether an abnormal condition exists by comparing the meter temperature information to a value based on the first predetermined threshold, and generates an output signal to a memory, display or communication circuit responsive to determining that the abnormal condition exists.

  • Patent number: 10789681
    Abstract: A method for healing a target region on an input image is described. A preview image is received; the preview image may reflect a down-sampled image of an original image. The method determines a target region for the preview image. The target region indicates a segment of the preview image designated for healing. The method may then heal the target region associated with the preview image using a transformation. The method may store one or more parameters associated with the healed preview image. The method may then provide for display the healed preview image to a user on a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10788163
    Abstract: A solid state lamp for retrofit of an HID includes a circumferential array of solid state light sources mounted on circuit boards, a heat sink located in the lamp's interior volume, and a fan positioned in the interior volume to force airflow across the heat sink. A capper assembly includes at least one aperture to vent the interior volume, and an intermediate circuit board within the capper assembly. The intermediate circuit board distributes electrical power to the circuit boards by tabs and contacts extending from the boards that are mechanically bonded together. An optical transmissive shield is positioned exterior to the circumferential array, and can include prismatic structures to direct light emitted from the LED sources in an off axis direction.

  • Patent number: 10788289
    Abstract: A firearm training device can include a firearm frame that has a barrel with a camera disposed at a distal end of the barrel, a grip attached to the barrel, and a trigger in proximity to the grip. The trigger can be configured to toggle an electronic switch. The firearm frame can also include a controller communicatively coupled to the camera and the electronic switch. The controller can be configured to collect an image frame or video segment, via the camera, when the electronic switch is toggled, and generate a composite image or video including the image frame or video segment and a strike indicator overlaid onto the image frame or video segment, whereby the composite image or video demonstrates where a firearm strike would have occurred. In other embodiments, the firearm training device is configured as an attachment for a firearm (e.g., a live firearm or mock firearm).
