Abstract: A first mobile device or other portable computer receives an originally unified or previously combined data set and algorithmically processing at least two portions of the data set by different algorithmic processes and displaying the resultant information in an enhanced imaging on a video screen of the first device. The original data set can be preprocessed by a second device, and the resultant information generated in this data preprocessing by the second computational device is provided to the first device for additional processing and display to a user. The first device applies an alternate and distinctively different second algorithmic process to the resultant information and/or the original data set to generate a second information, whereupon the first device visually presents (a.) elements of the second information; (b.) elements of the resultant information as generated by the second device; and/or (c.) some or all of the original data set.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide an apparatus and method for controlling computer room air conditioning units (CRACs) in data centers. An example embodiment includes: receiving an alert message from a reporting wireless network sensor of a plurality of wireless network sensors via a wireless sensor network, the alert message including information indicative of a modification needed to an environmental condition, the alert message including an indication of stability or instability of a computer room air conditioning unit (CRAC) in a data center; and using the information indicative of a modification needed to an environmental condition at a networked controller to command a device capable of modifying the environmental condition to modify the environmental condition in a manner corresponding to the information in the alert message, commanding the device including controlling fan speed in the CRAC to correct an indication of instability.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for working asphalt pavement, comprising one or both of a mechanical, hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic means for providing high-speed rotation; a rotary tool comprising a first end comprising a working surface and a second end adapted for connection to the means for providing high-speed rotation; and a screed, cooperatively arranged with the rotary tool, and comprising a working surface adjacent the working surface of the rotary tool, wherein the rotary tool is spun at high speed and applied to the asphalt pavement, frictionally heating the asphalt pavement to a temperature sufficient to work the pavement locally adjacent rotary tool and the screed. The screed and rotary tool comprising abrasion resistant materials selected from the group consisting of high-strength steel, hardened alloys, cemented metal carbide, polycrystalline diamond, and cubic boron nitride. The rotary tool and the screed apparatus may comprise a closed loop control system.
