  • Publication number: 20160093756
    Abstract: Installation of solar energy systems is made easier through the use of augur tubes. The base augur tube accommodates telescoping sections which enable these systems to exhibit a smaller footprint with enhanced power ratings. A tracking head is provided in which dual axis tracking is provided using a single drive mechanism. These features are employed either together or independently.

  • Publication number: 20070010117
    Abstract: A normal-through jack that includes a housing, wherein a first and second coaxial conductor and a switch are enclosed within the housing. The housing includes a front portion and a back portion. The front portion has a first access port and a second access port extending therefrom, and the back portion has a first coaxial cable-connector and a second coaxial cable-connector extending therefrom. The first coaxial conductor extends between the first coaxial cable-connector and a first end of a resistor, wherein a second end of the resistor is coupled with the first access port. The second coaxial conductor extends between the second access port and the second coaxial cable-connector. The switch is adapted to provide an electrical connection between the first coaxial conductor and the second coaxial conductor.

  • Patent number: 6269339
    Abstract: The System and Method for Developing a Customized Wetness Plan of the present invention provides a means of measuring a user's wellness by determining a user's physiological age. The disclosed system and method also provides a means by which a user can learn about personalized wellness options, where the wellness options have been chosen for the user based upon wellness factors input by the user, additional constraints input by the user and the most recently available information relating to the health sciences. The user can select one or more of the disclosed options, and determine the potential effect implementing the options could have on the user's physiological age over the short or long term. In this fashion, the user can continue selecting various groups of alternatives until he or she has determined the group of options that the user would like to implement as a wellness plan.
