Abstract: A body garment including sensors distributed throughout the garment, each sensor senses body state information from a local surface area of a body; and sensor nodes in proximity to the plurality of sensors, each sensor node including a processor to receive sensing body state information from at least one of the plurality of sensors. Each processor is configured to receive body state information locally from sensors, to utilize the information to determine a local surface shape of the surface of a portion of the body part; and to exchange local surface shape information with neighboring sensor nodes. At least one processor of utilizes the local surface shape information received from the sensor nodes to generate one overall model of a surface shape of the entire surface of the body part covered by the garment.

Abstract: An equipment box assembly includes an open-ended housing and a support plate. The housing has a back wall and opposed sidewalls defining a cavity in the housing. The back wall includes a plurality of mounting features for mounting electronic components to the back wall. The housing is configured to be positioned in an installed position in a mounting surface such that the cavity is recessed in the mounting surface. The support plate includes a plurality of mounting features for mounting electronic components to the support plate. The support plate is releasably mounted in the housing cavity in a first position with the support plate generally parallel to and spaced apart a first distance from the back wall.

Abstract: An equipment box assembly includes a housing including a back wall, a bottom wall, a top wall, and first and second sidewalls defining a cavity. At least one mounting feature is on each of the first and second sidewalls. The housing is sized to fit between first and second adjacent studs with the first sidewall mounted to the first stud using the at least one mounting feature on the first sidewall and with the second sidewall mounted to the second stud using the at least one mounting feature on the second sidewall.

Abstract: A rack includes a base resting on a horizontal surface, a top and four elongated legs. Each leg includes a bottom portion pivotally connected to the base and a top portion pivotally connected to the top. The rack is movable between a flat position, wherein the legs are substantially parallel to the horizontal surface, and an upright position, wherein the legs are substantially perpendicular to the horizontal surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and/or communicating digital data associated with amplitudes and phases of a virtual periodic waveform having a designated period between components include, in one embodiment, circuitry that converts a first amplitude and a first phase to a first corresponding voltage or current and applies the first corresponding voltage or current to a first one of the plurality of components, such as conductors connecting integrated circuit chips or capacitors of a DRAM device, and converts the first amplitude and the first phase to (n?1) corresponding voltages or currents based on amplitudes of the periodic waveform phase shifted by about m*(360/n) relative to the first phase where m is indexed from one to (n?1) and applies each corresponding voltage or current to an associated component. Decoding is performed by comparing magnitudes of the component signals relative to one another rather that to a plurality of thresholds.

Abstract: A child safety seat is provided. The safety seat includes a generally L-shaped shell having a seat bottom and a seat back, a harness assembly carried by the shell for restraining an occupant in the seat, a restraining member for receiving a latching assembly for securing the safety seat into a support position on a vehicle seat in a manner, and at least one area of predetermined reduced material thickness formed into the shell in the rearward portion of the seat bottom. The area of reduce material thickness defines a crush zone of reduced capacity to resist a downward movement-induced load on the seat bottom indicative of the sudden forward travel deceleration of the vehicle.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) having a processor configured to scan a message content for personal information and indicate any detected personal information before sending the message from the UE. Also disclosed is a method implemented on a UE comprising scanning a message content for personal information, and indicating any detected personal information before sending the message from the UE.

Abstract: An automated inspection tour includes a sequence and location of multiple inspection points marked with a unique identifier. User performs inspection tours by proceeding to each inspection point in the sequence indicated, and operating a portable data terminal (PDT) to read each unique identifier. PDT may include a handheld mobile computer including an integrated laser barcode scan engine. RFID, or other electronic scanning devices. User must be physically located proximate the unique identifier to obtain an electronic reading. Each unique identifier is encoded with data including a location of its associated inspection point. PDT is used to perform an inspection tour of the premises for reporting and resolving hazards. The software application enables user to record location response parameters and enables user to record store conditions during an inspection tour. Inspection data is transferred continuously during a tour via wireless network communication.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described for authoring, producing, securing, and/or distributing multiple variations of an instance of a media presentation. For example, one device embodiment includes a processor and memory having instructions executable on the processor. The instructions can allow a producer of media content to define a number of variating dimensions for a media presentation, maintain subscriber variation database tables having records that define subscriber variations in terms of a set of variating dimensions from the number of variating dimensions, maintain media element database tables having records that define media elements in terms of a set of variating dimensions from the number of variating dimensions, and determine which elements and in what order the elements are to be included a variation of an instance of a media presentation.
