Abstract: The present invention is a power line cut-out switch used in power transmission system comprising a base member having a vertical extension member perpendicularly attached thereon that secures a mechanical jumper used when transferring power lines from one electrical post to another. The vertical member can include a mushroom top member to further secure the mechanical jumper. The mechanical jumper is mounted to the vertical extension member to provide a stable and secure point of engagement when transferring power lines. This avoids electrocution to workers by no longer having to connect the mechanical jumper to flimsy solid jumpers and helps provide more uninterrupted power supply to consumers when installing new posts or shifting old posts to a new location.

Abstract: Authentication of a computing device involves displaying an authentication code display area and an authentication code input area on a touchscreen display of a computing device, detecting a touch contact at a first touch point in the authentication code input area, presenting a first character associated with the first touch point on the display, detecting a first swipe gesture from the first touch point to a second touch point, presenting a second character associated with the second touch point, detecting a confirmation gesture associated with the second touch point, and authenticating the computing device based at least in part on the second character.

Abstract: Authentication of a computing device involves displaying a plurality of subareas on a touchscreen display of a computing device, detecting a touch contact in a first subarea of the plurality of subareas, detecting a first swipe gesture from the first subarea to a second subarea of the plurality of subareas, detecting a first confirmation gesture associated with the first swipe gesture, and authenticating the computing device based at least in part on the first swipe gesture.
