Abstract: Underground utility enclosure cover assemblies are used with direct burial enclosures. The cover assemblies include a frame and a cover. The frame has one or more walls that define a central opening, a cover receiving ledge, an overhang that has a sidewall, and at least one stabilizing member extending from a bottom edge of the sidewall of the overhang. The cover is dimensioned to rest on the cover receiving ledge. The frame and the cover are made of a rigid material that permits the frame and cover to support large vertical loads.

Abstract: Enclosure cover assemblies for use with direct burial enclosures are provided. The enclosure cover assembly includes a frame that is secured to the enclosure and a cover separately secured to the frame. The frame and cover are made of metal while the enclosure is made of a high strength material.

Abstract: A system controls a level crossing of a railway track installation. The railway track installation includes at least one track. The system includes at least two magnetometers associated with the at least one track and placed at corners of a crossing area between the at least one track and a road. The system also includes a level crossing control unit configured for receiving data from the magnetometers. Each magnetometer is arranged to detect a respective magnetic field vector of the earth's magnetic field and to send data representative of the magnetic field vector to the control unit. The control unit is configured to elaborate the data to detect changes in the magnetic field vectors due to the presence of a train in the crossing area and to control the level crossing as a function of the detected changes.

Abstract: An acceleration switch array having at least two acceleration switches. Each acceleration switch includes a substrate, an anchor attached to the substrate, an electrically conductive mass disposed around the anchor and secured to the anchor by a spring assembly which permits movement of the mass relative to the anchor, and a plurality of electrical contacts positioned at circumferentially spaced positions around and outwardly from the mass. These electrical contacts are aligned along at least one orthogonal axis. A resistor array is electrically connected between the electric contacts of each acceleration switch for each orthogonal axis so that, upon contact between the mass and any of the electrical contacts, an electrical resistance is presented at an output terminal that is unique for each electrical contact for each acceleration switch.

Abstract: A process for storing and archiving a live recording. This process can comprise the steps of receiving video information, receiving audio information, and then transforming the audio information into text information. All of this information can then be matched to a plurality of discrete elements of the video information, the audio information, and the text information with a time code so that each of these plurality of discrete elements of video information, audio information and text information are synchronized with a particular time code. Accordingly this process can also include the transformation of the video signal and the audio signal from an analog signal into a set of digital information. Each video frame would then be identified, wherein each frame is then matched with a discrete time code for identification. The corresponding audio code along with the text code is synchronized with the video code so that each one of the discrete units of digital information are matched with a time code.
