Abstract: A system includes a sensor configured at a first position to sense an orientation of an electricity meter. The electricity meter can be configured at a second position. The electricity meter can be configured at a normal orientation to measure delivered energy sent to one or more locations and received energy received from the one or more locations. The electricity meter can be configured at an inverted orientation to identify and measure the delivered energy sent to the one or more locations and the received energy received from the one or more locations. The sensor is configured to identify when the electricity meter is in the normal orientation, and when the electricity meter is in the inverted orientation. A display is configured within the electricity meter.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for testing a device, comprising: a switch (100) arranged to replace a circuit breaker (30) associated with an individual system in the device under test, wherein the switch (100) is operable to be controlled remotely from the device under test such that the switch (100) either activates or deactivates the individual system.

Abstract: One embodiment is a device, which comprises a meter portion having one or more blades, the blades configured to reside within both a premises-side opening and a utility-side opening within a socket, a supply unit connected to the meter portion, a metering unit connected to the supply unit and configured to measure an amount of electricity that passes through the meter portion, and a sensor connected to the meter portion, wherein when the meter portion is placed in the socket, the sensor collects data associated with the placing of the meter portion in the socket.

Abstract: Novel thiazole- and isoquinoline-containing compounds are presented that are useful for treating and/or preventing broad-spectrum viral infections. Methods of treating and/or preventing broad-spectrum viral infections are also presented. These compounds have shown inhibition of HCMV, influenza viruses, Zika virus, BK Virus and RSV replication in cell-based assays.

Abstract: This disclosure features the use of one or more indazole-3-carboxamide compounds or salts or analogs thereof, in the treatment of one or more diseases or conditions independently selected from the group consisting of a tendinopathy, dermatitis, psoriasis, morphea, ichthyosis, Raynaud's syndrome, and Darier's disease; and/or for promoting wound healing. The methods include administering to a subject (e.g., a subject in need thereof) a therapeutically effective amount of one or more indazole-3-carboxamide compounds or salts or analogs thereof as described anywhere herein.

Abstract: An LED driver with ability to operate at low input voltages is disclosed. The LED driver comprises a boost converter to boost an input voltage to a desired output voltage to power one or more LED strings. The boost converter incorporates a first controllable switch, such as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), IGBT, etc., for output voltage control. The boost converter receives input from an external source, such as a battery voltage, as power source for voltage boost operation. The first controllable switch couples to a gate driver powered by a linear regulator, which switchably couples to different voltage sources via a second switch to ensure that the gate driver is able to provide enough voltage for switching the first controllable switch.

Abstract: The present invention provides a support for mounting in or on an upright member, the support comprising a first region and a second region, the first and second regions being separated by a bend in the support, the second region having item attachment region. The present support may be used to support an item such as a shelf, or to hang an item therefrom. The support of the present invention is configured so as to be insertable into a channel in an upright member (such as a wall) or into a receiving means that is in turn fixed to or inserted into an upright member. Also provided is a support system comprising a support as described herein, and a substantially upright member comprising a channel extending thereinto, the channel angled into the member, the channel having an upper wall and a lower wall, optionally the upper wall having a recess disposed therein. The channel may be angled downwardly into the member.

Abstract: An analysing apparatus comprises a fluid container defining a sample chamber. A sensor having a transparent body with a nanostructured surface is coupled to the fluid container such that the nanostructured surface is exposed to the sample chamber. An excitation and detection apparatus directs a beam of incident polarised electromagnetic radiation onto the reverse face of the body at the Brewster angle, causing no or substantially no reflection of the polarised radiation from the reverse face. The beam of reflected radiation emerges from the reverse face after reflection from the nanostructured surface. The apparatus is simpler and cheaper in comparison with known alternatives that use ATR prisms to create ATR of the light to excite a planar surface.
