Abstract: A ticket location system can match each of a plurality of trouble tickets stored in a plurality of electronic records of a first set of electronic records issued for power grid elements of a power grid with a corresponding instance of route data stored in an electronic record of a second set of electronic records. Each instance of route data characterizes a time and date of a route traversed by a service crew during field service of the corresponding trouble ticket. The ticket location system can identify a stop characterized in each instance of the route data. The stop is at least one of a longest stop in the instance of route data and a stop with a duration that exceeds a predetermined amount of time. Additionally, the ticket location system can associate each of the plurality of trouble ticket with a location and a time of the stop in the corresponding route data.

Abstract: An bottle warming apparatus may be provided. The apparatus may include a bottle for storing food and fluids. The bottle may include a recessed portion and indentations positioned on opposite sides of the bottle. Additionally, the apparatus may include a bottle housing configured to receive the bottle. The apparatus may also include a heating element that is positionable into the recessed portion of the bottle. Furthermore, the apparatus may include a pressure-sensitive switch that activates the apparatus when the bottle exerts enough pressure against the switch as the bottle is positioned into the bottle housing. Heat may be generated by the heating element when the apparatus is activated and be utilized to warm the bottle. The apparatus may further include a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the bottle. A signal may be transmitted to instruct the apparatus to deactivate when an optimal temperature is reached.

Abstract: A retrieving device for retrieving an object may be provided. The retrieving device may include a retriever pole that may include a scooping device positioned at one end of the retriever pole. The scooping device may be configured to retrieve the object when positioned over the object. Additionally, the retrieving device may include a camera configured to record image data of an area within a viewing range of the camera and image data associated with the object. The retrieving device may also include a monitor positionable at the other end of the retrieving pole, which may be electrically coupled to the camera via an insulated electrical wire. The monitor may display the image data of the area and the image data associated with the object recorded by the camera. Furthermore, the retrieving device may include a power source that may be electrically coupled to the monitor and the camera.

Abstract: A portable pipe cutter assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present application includes a cutting blade that is mounted to move up and down in a vertical plane to cut a pipe. The assembly may include a cradle that supports a lower part of the pipe to prevent deformation as it is being cut. The cutting blade is preferably moved by a battery operated motor.
