Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for searching and/or acting on information in a distributed data processing system. A method of processing a semantic rules engine may comprise receiving a rule data set, identifying a set of connected elements based on the rule data set, evaluating conditions related to the set of connected elements and the rule data set, determining a command set based on the evaluated conditions of the set of connected elements, and executing the command set.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a hybrid connected device actuation system are provided. A method for use with a hybrid connected device actuation system may comprise, processing a hybrid actuation query that may include semantic query and rules data, determining at least one actuatable connected device associated with a control system based on the processed hybrid actuation query data and an ontological data associated with the control system, determining an actuatable variable associated with the at least one determined connected device based on the rules data associated with the hybrid actuation query, and executing a change in an operational state of the actuatable variable associated with the at least one determined connected device in the control system.

Abstract: An erosion control plank is provided. The plank is a lattice of intersecting vertical walls and horizontal walls and includes an opening to permit a stake to secure the plank over an eroded region. The plank can be secured by a stake. The eroded region is filled with appropriate fill material which would pass through the lattice. Plants and other growth are introduced onto the plank and fill material on or through the lattice where their root networks would help secure the fill and the plank and prevent erosion. The plank is rectangular and includes connectors to permit multiple planks to be secured to one another in both a horizontal and vertical relationship, allowing the erosion control planks to fit over any of a variety of eroded surfaces and to prevent erosion from occurring there again. The erosion control planks may also be used on a non-eroded area to prevent the onset of erosion.
