Abstract: A firestat for providing an output for controlling an opening and closing of a fire/smoke damper. The firestat includes a fire/smoke damper test switch and an actuator configured to depress the fire/smoke damper test switch. The firestat is further configured to release the fire/smoke damper test switch in response to a depressing force applied to the actuator, wherein melting or other damage to the actuator causes a release of the test switch.

Abstract: A cam assembly for selectively contacting an end-of-stroke damper position switch. The cam assembly includes a first cam that is rotatable about a first axis, and a position lever that is connected to and rotates with the cam assembly. The position lever is configured to be connected to an opening and closing mechanism of the damper and the cam assembly is adjustable to contact a first end-of-stroke damper position switch at the end-of-stroke of the opening and closing mechanism of the damper regardless of the position of the lever.

Abstract: The present invention provides agents and compositions for modulating expression (e.g., enhanced or reduced expression) of an apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene by targeting an APOB expression control region and methods of use thereof for treating an APOB associated disorder, e.g., hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a method of separating long polynucleotides from a composition. The method includes: introducing a composition including one or more long polynucleotides into a container including at least one boundary defined by a filter comprising a plurality of pores, wherein the pores have a smaller cross-sectional dimension than specified for the long polynucleotide's molecular weight; and applying elevated hydraulic pressure to the composition, thereby causing at least some of the one or more long polynucleotides to pass through the pores.

Abstract: A resetting element for transmitting resetting force to a thermal switch. The resetting element includes a first end and an elastic element configured to transmit a force received at the first end to the reset switch of the thermal switch, wherein the elastic element is prevents damage to the thermal switch by decreasing the force transmitted to the reset switch from the first end.

Abstract: An attachment device for attaching to a structural component of a building to couple a fitting to the structural component.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Incoming messages may be used to modify the state (e.g., the power state or operating state) of an infrastructure device such as street lights, traffic lights, residential lights, etc. Such incoming messages may be sent from vehicles, cell phones carried by pedestrians, or other devices (e.g., drones). To detect such devices or vehicles, the infrastructure device may monitor and receive messages transmitted from the device or vehicles. After receipt, the infrastructure device may determine a device type and one or more other parameters (e.g., location, speed, direction), and based on this determination, the infrastructure device may modify its state.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for determining load shapes for distributed generation (DG) customers in an electricity generation, distribution, and consumption system without using direct load research data. Existing billing data may provide the amount of electricity delivered to and received from each DG customer each month, interconnection data may provide the installed on-site electricity generation capacity for each DG customer, and the average hourly output from a sample of DG or utility/community scale facility may provide a representative generation profile. The load shapes may include the load delivered to DG customers, the excess generated electricity exported back to the electricity distribution network by the DG customers, the generated electricity consumed on-site, and the load in the absence of DG facility(ies)/customer(s).
