Abstract: A system and method for using weather applied metrics for determining the impact of weather conditions on the flight of a ball at an outdoor sports venue. Historical and current data for weather parameters, including wind, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and precipitation, are obtained to calculate the influence of each parameter on the flight of a ball. The influences of each of the parameters are summed to model the flight of the ball based on the current weather conditions. Weather instruments, such as weather sensors, anemometers, LiDAR and SODAR devices, weather consoles, data routing devices, and processors can be included in a system for using weather applied metrics to predict the flight of a ball based on current weather conditions.

Abstract: Managing looped, iterative and recursive operations through applying a parameterized instance of an assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair to a reference data model to produce a parameterized outcome model. Based on a degree of convergence of the parameterized outcome model toward a target parameterized instance of the assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair, assembling and parameterizing a next assertion-model and a next apportionment-sub-model pair. Repeating these steps until an instance of a parameterized outcome model meets a preconfigured degree of convergence toward a corresponding target parameterized instance of the assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair.

Abstract: Latch mechanisms adapted to prevent unauthorized displacement of a latch bolt from an extended, locked position to a retracted, unlocked position. The latch mechanisms prevent the failure of a latch bolt of one latch mechanism to return to an extended lock position from interfering with the ability of a latch bolt of an inter-related latch mechanism from being able to return to an extended, locked position. Further embodiments provide a mounting bracket mounted to a door to allow the associated latch mechanism to be indirectly secured to the door. Additionally, the mounting bracket may have a plurality of mounting orifices that allow the mounting bracket to be used with a wide range of latch mechanisms, as well as provide adjustable attachment of the latch mechanism to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: An embodiment of a method of recording transactions conducted in a public distributed ledger system using a personal distributed ledger system includes: generating, by a wallet distributed application, an address in the public distributed ledger system and a private key; signing, by the wallet distributed application, a transaction to a distributed application in the public distributed ledger system using the generated address and private key; generating, by the wallet distributed application, a transaction to the personal distributed ledger system, the generated transaction containing information identifying the signed transaction to the public distributed ledger system, such as the private key used to sign the transaction; and transmitting, by the wallet distributed application, the transaction to at least one distributed node of the personal distributed ledger system.
Abstract: A method for ship ballasting includes receiving, at a carbon negative energy storage system, input comprising calcium oxide and water and reacting, within a reaction chamber of the carbon negative energy storage system, the calcium oxide and water to release energy and generate calcium hydroxide. The method includes directing, by the carbon negative energy storage system, the released energy to a requesting end user and providing, by the carbon negative energy storage system, the calcium hydroxide to a marine vessel ballasting system. The method includes releasing a mixture of the calcium hydroxide and ballast water from the marine vessel ballasting system into the ocean to sequester atmospheric CO2.

Abstract: Systems and generating power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to supply electrical power. In embodiments, an inlet temperature of a flow of gas from a source to an ORC unit may be determined. The source may connect to a main pipeline. The main pipeline may connect to a supply pipeline. The supply pipeline may connect to the ORC unit thereby to allow gas to flow from the source to the ORC unit. Heat from the flow of gas may cause the ORC unit to generate electrical power. The outlet temperature of the flow of the gas from the ORC unit to a return pipe may be determined. A bypass valve, positioned on a bypass pipeline connecting the supply pipeline to the return pipeline, may be adjusted to a position sufficient to maintain temperature of the flow of gas above a threshold based on the inlet and outlet temperature.

Abstract: In a one-shot state transition encoder, L-bits of user data are received and encoded into a codeword of N-bits, wherein N>L. The encoding of the user data involves repeatedly performing: a) encoding a portion of user bits from the user data to a portion of encoded bits of the codeword based on a set of state transition probabilities, thereby reducing a size of a remaining buffer of the codeword and reducing a number of unencoded bits of the user data; and b) based on the number of unencoded bits of the user data being greater than or equal to the remaining buffer size of the codeword, terminating further encoding and storing the unencoded bits of the user data into the remaining buffer of the codeword.
