Abstract: An HVAC monitoring system includes a base unit mounted on a condenser and/or furnace that is electrically connected to a plurality of thermistors positioned at specific locations critical to efficient operation of the system. The base unit is in discrete wireless communication with a receiver positioned within the building interior where it is readily accessible and observable by the occupant. The receiver includes a display screen with indicators that visually inform a user of an alert condition.

Abstract: A method for zero-touch provisioning is disclosed. The method includes receiving a CSNR exclusively specified for a CPE assigned to a specific customer at the specific customer premises; provisioning a COS template created for providing the intended operation of the CPE at the customer premises, based at least on the CSNR; storing the COS template and a MAC address of the CPE as a job assignment; receiving, from the CPE, a provisioning request signal comprising the MAC address of the CPE, the CPE having already been authenticated by an authentication manager; and downloading to the CPE, based at least on the received MAC address of the CPE matching the job assignment, service information for the zero touch provisioning of the intended operation of the CPE; wherein the downloading to the CPE of the COS template takes place after the CPE has been authenticated by the authentication manager.

Abstract: A method for zero-touch provisioning is disclosed. The method includes receiving a customer specification of network requirements exclusively specified for a CPE assigned to a specific customer at a specific customer premises. The CSNR includes information describing the premises and information describing an intended operation of the CPE. The method also includes storing a job assignment including a unique CPE identity and service information for the provisioning of the CPE. The identity is linked to the customer through the job assignment. The method also includes provisioning a class of service template exclusively for providing the intended operation of the CPE at the customer premises and paired with the CPE identity through the job assignment. The method also includes receiving a provisioning request sent by the CPE to a FQDN pointed at the ZTP server and including the CPE identity. Finally, the method includes pushing the COS template to the CPE.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and other mechanisms to automatically provision CPE at a customer location by generating and storing at a server a “gold” configuration script for each CPE for each customer, and for downloading the gold configuration script to CPE in response to receiving at a zero touch provisioning (ZTP) entity a provisioning control signal automatically generated by CPE due to execution of a pre-installed script upon initial power up. The gold configuration script may comprise CPE configuration and service provisioning information received from the ZTP entity, such as provided by a class of service (COS) template specifically designed to provision the requesting CPE in accordance with the premises-specific environment of the network and the customer-specific services to be provided via the network.

Abstract: An electronic syndicated lottery platform, system and method provides for syndicated lottery activities for groups. In aspects, with a first software module, a request is received to establish a primary syndicate wager, wherein the request includes a designation of a specific number of players or a range of a number of players to be included in a wagering group, and further includes at least one type of wagering game to be played, and further receives a designation of one or more players to be invited to join the wagering group, wherein each of the one or more players has a player transaction account. With a second software module, payment is collected for the primary syndicate wager, the wagering game to be played is registered with a game operator, and a determination is made as to whether a win has occurred. Upon a win occurring, embodiments of the system can automatically and electronically credit the player transaction accounts in the wagering group.

Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate to a platform facilitating different drug development software programs. In one embodiment, the integrated software platform includes a graphical environment for creating, storing, and manipulating workflows. The workflows depict operations that are to be performed by certain functional objects, and the flow of information between those objects. One example of an object is a model of drug behavior, disposition, and/or physiological response to drug activity, and certain embodiments allow for the graphical creation and editing of such a model. Other embodiments provide a user with the ability to easily overlay model predicted valves with observed data.

Abstract: Laser device with semiconducting diodes. The invention concerns a device with semiconducting laser diodes comprising individual wafers (8), made of a good heat-conducting material, assembled parallel to one another with semiconducting diode connector bars (9) placed between them as braces, said connector bars only taking up a longitudinal portion of the spaces between the wafers, in which they are located, and the longitudinal portions (17) of said spaces between the wafers, not taken up by said semiconducting connector bars, being used as flow channels for a cooling fluid.
