Abstract: A method for retiming digital telecommunications data received by a digital logger from a plurality of T-carrier type telephone lines respectively having differing clock sources ensures efficient transmission of received digital audio data to a host computer via a Universal Serial Bus (“USB”) interface. Also the digital logger includes volatile memory for temporarily storing digital audio data received from the plurality of T-carrier type telephone lines for: 1. ensuring that the host computer receives digital audio data correctly via the USB interface; 2. buffering the digital audio data within the digital logger during interruptions in transmission of digital audio data from the digital logger via the USB interface; and 3. reducing audible latency of speech communications.

Abstract: A high mobility, contoured shoulder and hip pad that can address various needs for body armor, equipment belt, and other types of equipment-users as identified above. The pad is shaped such that the pad can disperse the weight of a body armor system or other load carrying system on the faces of the user's shoulder and trapezius muscle or hip area. The width of the pad can involve reduced dimensions at the middle portion of the pad relative to the width dimensions at the ends of the pad, such as e.g., having an hourglass shape.

Abstract: A dual bidirectional input to single bidirectional output transmission (or gear box) comprising of unique gear ratios between each of the bidirectional inputs and the single, or common, bidirectional output is disclosed. The gear box has a gear train design with two bidirectional inputs and one (or common) bidirectional output. The device is configured to enable torque to be transmitted through either one or both of the bidirectional inputs to the bidirectional output. The gear train may be a constant mesh system which eliminates sliding splines, dog clutches or synchronizers to switch between operational modes. A locking feature/component/element allows the power or torque to be transmitted from a first bidirectional input to the common bidirectional output using a second bidirectional input as a fixed rotation reference. Similarly power or torque from the second bidirectional input to the common bidirectional output may use the first bidirectional input as a fixed rotation reference.

Abstract: A distributed monitoring system and a computer-implemented method monitors and controls locally situated network components through a monitoring and control device or processor querying the network component operating parameters and sending control commands for controlling the parameters queried. Reports of the status of the monitored network components are periodically generated from throughout the network and sent to a remotely located status viewing station configured to generate a monitoring interface and display the operational status of the network based on the status reports. If necessary, the status viewing station automatically transmits instructions, or a user enters instructions into the status viewing station, for instructing action be taken by the monitoring and control device or processor, e.g., to adjust one or more operating parameters queried. The distributed monitoring system may be particularly useful in monitoring and managing the health of a digital signage network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or computer program products for publishing a spot for display on digital signage at a target location and a target time according to a rule set are disclosed. Certain implementations relate to updating the spot, target digital signage location, and target playback time based on input received from a user. The updates to the spot may be verified by comparing a permissions level of the user to rules regarding the modification of the spot.

Abstract: An adjustment control for adjusting a damping curve of a shock absorber includes an aperture seat coupled to a base of the shock absorber. The aperture seat defines a flow tube. A plug, in mechanical communication with a spring, slidably engages the flow tube. A plug nut is threadably coupled to an adjustment nut shaft stud and is in mechanical communication with the spring. An adjustment nut is coupled to the base. The adjustment nut has a non-circular cavity to receive at least a portion of the adjustment nut shaft stud and at least a portion of the non-circular region of the plug nut such that the plug nut cannot rotate relative to the non-circular cavity of the adjustment nut. An adjustment knob causes rotation of the adjustment nut shaft stud. The rotation of the adjustment nut shaft stud causes axial movement of the plug nut.

Abstract: An engine mount comprising a body having a cavity and a flange. The cavity comprises an opening having a central axis. The flange comprises bottom and top mounting surfaces and a centerline perpendicular to the central axis. The bottom mounting surface defines a first horizontal plane off-set from the central longitudinal axis. The flange further comprises a symmetric mounting hole pattern extending from the bottom mounting surface to the top mounting surface. The off-set and the symmetric mounting hole pattern allow a first use of the engine mount where the bottom surface of the flange is engaged directly with the engine mounting bracket and a second use of the engine mount where the top surface of the flange is engaged directly with the engine mounting bracket so that a different type of engine may be mounted.
