Abstract: A system for controlling power distribution including: a mobile software application, where said application is installed on at least one portable electronic device; a Wi-Fi network; programmable logic controllers (PLC), where the PLC's are placed on circuit breakers throughout a power distribution system; and signals sent between the PLC's and the at least one portable electronic device, wherein said signals include control commands between the at least one portable electronic device to the PLC's, and status signals from the PLC's to the at least one portable electronic device indicating status of respective circuit breakers in the power distribution system, wherein said signals are transmitted over the Wi-Fi network.

Abstract: A paper/plastic laminate suitable for use in laser and digital copiers and printers etc. that use heat set fuser toner adhesion as the method for fusing/bonding an ink to a paper. The laminate includes a paper web laminated to a polymeric film using 100% solids, or solventless, adhesives. The polymeric film is made from a biodegradable polymeric material such as a polylactide or a biodegradable polyolefin. An electromagnetic shielding material includes a paper web, a biodegradable polymeric material; and a conductive layer in a laminate structure that, when interposed between a receiving antenna of an RFID smart chip and a transmitting antenna of a signal generator, prevents the reading of the chip.
