Abstract: A resource tagging service allows resource tags to be created and associated with computing resources in a service provider network. The resource tags can be utilized to search, collect, filter, organize and otherwise manage computing resources in the service provider network having matching tags, and/or to perform other types of functionality. A resource groups service allows customers and/or other users of the service provider network to view and access collections of computing resources that share common resource tags and/or other attributes. Resource groups can also be evaluated in order to identify computing resources in a service provider network for which certain types of actions or other functionality is to be performed. Membership of resource groups can also be evaluated over time and inferences can be drawn from the membership and from operational information associated with the member computing resources.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for asynchronous provision of resource status data. A resource status application can submit a request to a resource status service for status data regarding one or more computing resources provided by network services in a service provider network. In response thereto, the resource status service can submit synchronous requests to the network services for the status data. The resource status service can also provide a reply to the resource status application that includes an identifier (ID) that can be utilized to retrieve all or a portion of the status data at a future time. The reply might also specify a period of time that the resource status application is to wait before submitting another request for the status data to the resource status service. Subsequently, the resource status application can submit additional requests for the status data to the resource status service that include the identifier.

Abstract: An enclosure for an energy monitoring current transformer includes upper housing that houses an upper transformer core section. Lower housing houses a transformer coil and a lower transformer core section. When the enclosure is assembled there is an overlap between the cap for the lower housing and the lower housing that lengthens a creepage path from the upper transformer core to the external surface of the enclosure.

Abstract: Mechanically heated and cooled clothing with easy-to-use controls is provided. An embodiment comprises an athletic shoe with temperature controls and electrical wiring. A heating and cooling unit attached to the shoe comprises a thermostat, a cooling device, and a heating device. Temperature transfer means in the shoe, such as electrical heating elements and loops for liquid heat exchange, accomplish desired heating and cooling of the shoe. The temperature controls may comprise on, off, hot, and cold buttons for activating the heating and cooling unit and controlling the temperatures. The system may be attached to the shoe or attached to other items and worn elsewhere, such as to a belt worn about the user's waist. The system may also be used with other types of clothing, for example with gloves.
