Abstract: An embodiment of the invention includes determining a first security status for first information and a second security status for second information, the second security status being more secure than the first security status; establishing a first communication path between the system and a first local computing node via a first wireless path; conveying the first information to the first local computing node via the first wireless path based on the first security status; and withholding the second information from the first local computing node based on the second security status; wherein the first and second information are stored on at least one of the system and a remotely located computing node. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A portable lifting device is provided that includes a pair of telescoping parallel beam assemblies attached on either end to a pair of stanchion assemblies. Each stanchion assembly includes a top and bottom member as well as at least one vertical member. The bottom member of each beam assembly rests on a deck support member, and the height of each vertical member may be adjustable. A sliding guide assembly is slidably mounted on the parallel beam assemblies and includes a cross-member between the parallel beams that acts as the connection point for a lifting medium. This allows for a higher support point for the lifting medium than would be provided by a conventional single-beam device.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for generating an audio output includes a master computing device and a plurality of client computing devices. Each client computing device includes a microphone to record audio signals. The client computing devices generate audio data based on the audio signals and transmit the audio data to the master computing device. The master computing device generates a final, higher quality audio output as a function of the audio data received from collection of participating the client computing devices.

Abstract: An audience matching network includes local domains that collect information about audience members, including behavioral and characteristics information. A network profile corresponding to information collected in the local domains is provided, and supports the definition of network audience segments. Membership in the network segments is used to accommodate the delivery of content such as advertising to particular audience members.

Abstract: Described is a device (10) for monitoring bearing performance in apparatus having an aperture sized and configured to receive a grease fitting. The device includes temperature sensing components (34) or vibration sensing components (36), or both, to enable detection of impending bearing failure, and is adapted to either replace or supplement conventional grease fittings (28). The device is configured so as to cooperate with bearings housings of widely divergent dimensions, and in each case to permit adjustment of the device, including the sensing components thereof, to place it in very close proximity to the bearing.

Abstract: Devices for monitoring bearing performance in apparatus having an aperture sized and configured to receive a grease fitting. The devices comprise a temperature sensor or a vibration sensor, or both, to enable detection of impending bearing failure, and further comprise rigidly attached electronic components which amplify signals generated by the temperature sensor and/or vibration sensor. The devices may be adapted to either replace or supplement conventional grease fittings, and enable the transmission of electronic signals which may be used for constant monitoring of critical equipment. Bearing housings which incorporate these features, as well as subassemblies and related methods, are also described.

Abstract: A armored light fixture which comprises an armored housing which defines an upper passageway through which light may pass, at least one lamp disposed within the armored housing, at least one reflector structure which is adjustable in position and which is disposed above the armored housing to enable the adjustable reflection of light which passes through the upper passageway of the armored housing.

Abstract: "Smart" enclosure units which not only isolate electronic printers from the surrounding atmosphere but prevent explosion hazardous conditions from arising when retrieving output from the printers are described. The units comprise a first pressurizable chamber for housing an electronic printer which transforms received input electronic signals into printout copy which emerges from the printer; and a second pressurizable chamber contiguous with the first chamber for receiving, through a portal located between the chambers, printout copy from the printer as the printout copy emerges from the printer. The second chamber has a door enabling an operator to periodically remove printout copy from the second chamber. A closure for the portal when open permits printout copy to pass from the printer into the second chamber. When closed, this closure seals off the first chamber from the second chamber.

Abstract: An electronic time switch for an A.C. power system and employing a Triac as the switching element is disclosed. The time switch in its normal or OFF state provides a very small amount of current to the load so as to preheat the filament without the filament emitting any appreciable visible light when the load is an incandescent lamp. The user changes the time switch to the ON state by manually depressing a first switch, which causes the time switch to provide full power to the load within a short time thereafter. After a portion of a predetermined time period or ON cycle has elapsed, the time switch starts to decrease the power to the load at an ever-increasing rate until the time switch returns to the normal or OFF state after the lapse of the predetermined time period. The user, by manually depressing a second switch, may immediately return the time switch to the OFF state at any time during the ON cycle.
