Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for playing a beer dice game in an aquatic environment. The system can comprise a floatable gaming table. The floatable gaming table can comprise a table top, a buoyant layer, and a cup holder. The table top can comprise a playing surface. The playing surface can comprise a line that divides the playing surface into a first territory and a second territory. The buoyant layer can have a density sufficiently low enough such that the playing surface can float above a surface of water when the floating gaming table is placed within the water. The cup holder can be at each corner of the tabletop.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for verifying operation and configuration of a lighting network. In some embodiments, a site controller is configured to receive sensor data from a plurality of sensors and to transmit commands to nodes of a lighting network for controlling light sources based on the sensor data. The site controller is also configured to store a site plan including a listing of the nodes and, for each of the nodes, indicating a number of sensors to be coupled to the respective node. The site controller is further configured to detect the sensors coupled to the nodes based on the sensor data and to compare the detected sensors to the site plan for determining whether the detect sensors is consistent with the site plan. If not, the site controller is configured to provide an alert.

Abstract: A monitoring system for a facility can automatically determine the presence of leaks in a compressed gas system at the facility. The monitoring system can use information from sensors in the compressed gas system to determine if there is a constant flow of gas in the system that can be indicative of a leak in the system. The monitoring system can process flow measurements from the sensors to determine minimum gas flow amounts for a series of time windows. The minimum gas flow amounts are then averaged to generate an average minimum gas flow amount. If the average minimum gas flow amount is greater than an average threshold, a variance of the minimum gas flow amounts can be determined. If the determined variance is less than a variance threshold, the average minimum gas flow amount is determined to correspond to a leak in the compressed gas system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing network traffic in a lighting system. A server computer can calculate the energy consumption of the light sources in the lighting system based on the settings of the lights sources implemented by the server computer and power usage data for the light sources. By calculating the energy consumption at the server computer based on the implemented settings and the power usage data, the server computer does not have to receive communications from the controllers of the light sources indicating the power usage or energy consumption of the light source. The power usage data for the light sources can be updated to enable the server computer to provide more accurate energy consumption information for the lighting system.

Abstract: A system for provisioning virtual circuit information in packet has a plurality of access modules that are inserted into slots of a chassis at a network facility. Each access module is provisioned with sets of Ethernet virtual circuit (EVC) attribute data in order to provide the access module with sufficient information to handle data packets carried by EVCs serviced by the access module. Rather than manually provisioning each access module with EVC attribute data, the sets of attribute data are stored at a central location. Each access module has logic that is configured to automatically retrieve, from the central location, sets of attribute data associated with the EVCs to be serviced by the access module. The logic then automatically provisions the access module to handle data packets carried by such EVCs.

Each access module is provisioned with sets of Ethernet virtual circuit (EVC) attribute data in order to provide the access module with sufficient information to handle data packets carried by EVCs serviced by the access module. Rather than manually provisioning each access module with EVC attribute data, the sets of attribute data are stored at a central location. Each access module is configured to automatically request, from the central location, sets of attribute data associated with the EVCs to be serviced by the access module and to then automatically provision the access module to handle data packets carried by such EVCs. For each requested set of attribute data, the requesting access modules ensures that the attribute data is reliably transported across a backplane of the chassis.
