Abstract: An electrical water heater that receives a load shedding request signal uses a temperature sensor that is positioned so as to measure a water temperature in a lower area of a tank of the water heater. A controller continuously determines a salubrity index of the water heater as a function of the temperature measured by the sensor and a time measurement The controller decides to interrupt an electrical power supply of the water heater through a switch so as to interrupt or not interrupt an operation of the water heater upon receipt of the load shedding request signal and only if the salubrity index meets a preestablished criterion.

Abstract: Systems and methods of preventing an event occurrence or mitigating effects of an event occurrence in an industrial facility are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a first input is received from a first sensor and, based at least in part on the first input, an initial action is automatically generated. In response to the initial action, a second input is received from a second sensor and, based at least in part of the received first and second inputs, a likelihood of an event occurrence is determined. Based at least in part of the determined likelihood, a remedial action configured to prevent the occurrence of the event occurrence is automatically generated. In some embodiments, the remedial action is generated in real-time and can be directed to a process condition, environmental condition, or secondary source.

Abstract: A method, network node and wireless device for adaptive connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configurations.

The method further includes transmitting to the WD at least a number of DRX cycles in the first set and a number of cycles in the second set.

Abstract: Magnetic stripe cards including a skimmer detection mechanism detect unauthorized access to data and information stored on a magnetic strip of a magnetic stripe card by illicit card skimming devices. In one embodiment, a method of detecting an unauthorized scan of confidential data encoded on a magnetic strip portion of a magnetic stripe card having a skimmer detection mechanism includes detecting a scan of the magnetic strip portion, measuring a parameter associated with the scan of the magnetic strip portion by the skimmer detection mechanism, and comparing the measured parameter to a baseline value associated with the parameter. Upon determining that the parameter exceeds the baseline value, an unauthorized scan of confidential data encoded on the magnetic strip portion of the magnetic stripe card is detected.
