Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that easily interface with, configure, and manage embedded devices, such as telecommunication devices, and that interface with, configure, and manage networks equipped with such embedded devices. In some embodiments, a system comprising a graphical user interface with common abstractions for the settings of an embedded device is presented to a user. In some embodiments, the abstractions are displayed to the user as intuitive icons. In some embodiments, these icons use pictures, colors, and/or other graphical and animation techniques to illustrate device management functions to a user. Using embodiments, the user is able to easily determine how he/she wants the embedded device configured, and can also quickly configure the device in that manner without having to be familiar with the underlying settings of the device. Further, the user can use the interface to manage the device by changing settings or uses of the device as necessary.

Abstract: A method for facilitating Web-based information exchange includes providing a centralized Web structure for the Web-based information of an organization. The Web-based information includes Web pages and interactive Web-based applications. The Web structure includes multiple Web sites linked to at least one common site to which the Web-based information generated by the organization is linked, directly or indirectly. Thus the Web structure provides a user with single point of entry access to the Web-based information of the organization.

Abstract: A remote operated device including: a plurality of circuit breakers; a first actuator in operable communication with a second actuator, the first actuator positions the second actuator at a circuit breaker of the plurality of circuit breakers, the second actuator mounted external to the plurality of circuit breakers, the second actuator moves a handle of the circuit breaker to an on position, an off position, or performs a reset operation; and a controller in electronic communication with the first actuator and the second actuator.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement to the stability of D.C. motor brushes mounted in brush boxes with wings is improved by angling the wings toward the commutator such that the brush spring contacts the brush at one or more points intermediate the ends of the brush. Improved cooling is provided by utilizing an end plate with apertures and a brush plate which in combination with the commutator, provides a brush plate aperture for cooling air flow. In a preferred embodiment, speed variations of the motor can be achieved by selectively disconnecting one or more brushes in a four brush embodiment reducing the torque and rotating speed of the motor. In a preferred embodiment, the use of a diode to interconnect same polarity brushes permits a speed change to be accomplished by selectively connecting one or the other end of the diode.
