Abstract: A controller for hydraulic system of a work machine is provided. The controller is configured to perform a worktool disconnect routine to reduce pressure in a first worktool line and a second worktool line of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic system comprises a spool valve, a first worktool port connected to the spool valve by the first worktool line, a second worktool port connected to the spool valve by the second worktool line, a high pressure flow source of hydraulic fluid connected to the spool valve by a high pressure line and a low pressure tank line connected to the spool valve, the low pressure tank line at a lower pressure than a pressure of the high pressure line.

Abstract: A linear impact switch provides a contact closure, when pressure-activated at any of multiple locations over substantial distances and surface areas. Preferred switch units are positioned with their impact faces in a generally vertical orientation to receive generally horizontal forces. The switch units may be used to trigger an alarm in a falling rock or slide area, wherein the switch units are placed beside a road, path, or other perimeter, for example, on a barrier, fence, retaining wall, or other structure. The switch units may be simple and durable, using a conductive outer (or forward) member and a conductive inner (or rearward) member, whereby the impact/pressure forces the outer/forward member to make contact with the inner/rearward member, thereby closing the switch to send or relay a signal notifying drivers or authorities of the event that caused the signal, even though the event may be in an isolated or seldom-inspected region.

Abstract: The payment collection, aggregation and realization apparatuses, methods and systems receive a communication message including a payment indication to transfer a payment amount to a payee; determine the communication message is originated from a user compute device before the user has registered with the payment system; obtain, from the communication message, a reference identifier referencing the user; generate a temporary profile including the reference identifier and information relating to the payment indication; receive, subsequent to receiving the communication message, payment account information of the user after registration of the user with the payment system; and automatically initiate a payment transaction for the payment indication from the temporary profile based on the payment account information.

Abstract: A key blank and key for mating with a core having a plurality of cutouts penetrating from the core surface to the keyway, and a plurality of activator inserts and filler inserts, such that the installer can locate one or more activator inserts in any of the cutouts, and one or more filler inserts in any of the remaining cutouts, to thereby match the code to be provided in the respective flank or flanks of an authorized key. At least three and preferably at least five slotted cutouts are provided. The inserts are preferably in the form of generally semi-circular plates on at least one side of the core. The inventive key for insertion into a cylinder lock keyway has a blade with top and bottom edges spaced apart along a blade height direction and left and right flanks spaced apart along a blade width direction. A longitudinal channel is formed in at least one flank, having a width extending in the blade height direction and a depth extending in the blade width direction.

Abstract: A core having a plurality of cutouts penetrating from the core surface to the keyway, and a plurality of activator inserts and filler inserts, such that the installer can locate one or more activator inserts in any of the cutouts, and one or more filler inserts in any of the remaining cutouts, to thereby define a program or code to be provided in the respective flank or flanks of an authorized key. At least three and preferably at least five slotted cutouts are provided. The inserts are preferably in the form of generally semi-circular plates on at least one side of the core. In various embodiments, the present invention is directed to a programmable cylinder lock system, a programmable core for a cylinder lock, a core kit by which the installer can program the core in the field, and a novel key adapted to be used with the programmable core.

Abstract: The comprehensive global information broadcasting system and implementation thereof is designed to be used to provide a plurality of, what is commonly referred to as, Internet service providers with updated information through the use of high speed satellite links directly to the local Internet service provider from a centralized location. The satellite broadcasting system is combined with servers known as caching or proxy servers located at the client site which serve to store web and other data until the end user needs to access the data and a master cache center which coordinates the selection and transmission of information to those client sites via the satellite broadcasting system. The caching of data objects as close to the end user as possible will require less data to transit the backbone networks. The client site cache communicates to the master cache center via the satellite broadcasting system and, in some cases, the Internet connection.
