  • Patent number: 7231281
    Abstract: A dynamic power control system for controlling power utilization on a local level in a power sub-network of a power grid is presented. The power sub-network is configured with switchable power nodes, each having an associated priority level and each having a switch element that operates to switch coupling and uncoupling of first and second subsets of power lines in the sub-network. A sub-network controller monitors utility information that is associated with one of a plurality of system priority levels each of which is associated with one of a plurality of switch state configurations of the respective switch states of the switchable power nodes in the power sub-network, and effects the switch states of the switchable power nodes to comply with the switch state configuration associated with the received utility information.

  • Publication number: 20070117643
    Abstract: A golf swing plane training method and apparatus consisting a pair of elastic cords suspended above the ground faithfully defining a cross section of the swing plane. The elastic cords are parallel to each other and approximately parallel to the ground. The plane formed by the two elastic cords is substantially perpendicular to the proper swing plane at a height ranging from the level of the knees to the level of the waist of a golfer at address. The height of the elastic cords is slidably adjustable to accommodate the full range of golf clubs and golfers of varying sizes and heights. The distance between the elastic cords can be altered to accommodate golfers of different skill levels. As the skill level of the golfer improves, the elastic cords can be located closer together. A method for using the apparatus is submitted to provide the golfer with checkpoints that indicate a proper swing plane. In addition, if the golf club is swung incorrectly, the trainer restricts completion of that swing.

  • Publication number: 20020156767
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method and service for storing data wherein objects of varying class or class structure may be stored, searched and retrieved. In addition to storing objects which are comprised of flat data such as text and numbers, the service is capable of storing and running objects that are executable methods. By making use of the ability to store and run executable methods within some or all of the records, the service can implement a number of functions in a way that is customizable to each record. Examples of such functions include security, archiving, purging and notification.

  • Patent number: 6151605
    Abstract: A method of configuring software applications is provided. A configuration file processing library implements a configuration file processor. Applications are compiled utilizing the configuration file processing library to generate generic configuration file processing code for reading and manipulating data in a generic configuration file. When the file is executed, the application stantiates a configuration file processor applications programming interface through which the configuration file is read or manipulated by applications independent of the user's operating environment.
