Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to perform a vehicle function. A vehicle function command is detected and it is determined if an event moved is active. In response to a determination that the event mode is active, an event mode parameter is retrieved. Otherwise, in response to a determination that the event mode is not active, a normal mode parameter is retrieved. The vehicle function is performed based on the retrieved event mode parameter or normal mode parameter.

Abstract: A computer implemented method incorporating social media networking for the collaborative creation, distribution and consumption of audio material. Steps include a processor and database for receiving a plurality of audio files and a non-transitory computer readable medium embodying computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to execute a series of registration, contact and operational tools for facilitating the collaborative creation of music.

Abstract: The system comprises a taxonomy for classifying a music recording and can further comprise a computing functionality. The functionality can: provide for the dissemination of identities of recordings that have been classified in accordance with the taxonomy and the classifications thereof; allow users to identify recordings that have been classified in accordance with the taxonomy; allow user to classify recordings in accordance with the taxonomy; permit users to identify music projects and to associate music recordings to projects; in respect of projects to which recordings have been associated having differing proprietors, provide a mechanism by which those proprietors can submit votes on a division of rights in a Master defined by those recordings; provide for dissemination of the recordings and the classifications by a scatterplot graph wherein each point represents a music recording, each of the dimensions of the plot being associated with a relatively highly-variable characteristic of the recording.

Abstract: A network protector relay controls a circuit breaker connected between polyphase feeder and network busses. A circuit samples polyphase circuit breaker current and network voltage to generate digital polyphase current and voltage samples. A microcontroller generates positive sequence current and voltage vectors from the current and voltage samples. A first trip algorithm trips the breaker in response to the positive sequence current vector being in a first trip region of a first trip characteristic with respect to the positive sequence voltage vector. The first trip characteristic is defined by a reverse trip setpoint and a first positive angle. A second trip algorithm trips the breaker in response to the positive sequence current vector being in a second trip region of a second trip characteristic with respect to the positive sequence voltage vector. The second trip characteristic is defined by the reverse trip setpoint and a second negative angle.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for locating faults in power distribution systems with complex topology, such as multi-phase urban networks (6), utilizing reliable time-delay techniques as well as a transponder (22) at a monitoring point to sense the arrival of the transient fault pulse and for transmitting a timing pulse a known time delay after sensing the arrival of the transient fault pulse and a calibration pulse a known time delay after transmitting the timing pulse. Installed along the power distribution system at key locations are receiver stations (4, 4a, 4b) capable of sensing the arrival of the transient fault pulse, timing pulse and calibration pulse and measuring the time intervals occurring between each. The location of the fault is then determined based on these timing intervals, known time delays and the known propagation velocity of the electric power cables in the power distribution system.
