Abstract: A fluid handling system for supplying a working fluid to a fluid flow instrument is disclosed. The system includes a controller configured to receive sensor signals indicative of a deformation of a flexible barrier located between a control fluid volume containing a control fluid and a working fluid volume containing the working fluid. Based on the sensor signals, the controller may send signals to control the operation of a working fluid flow generator in order to regulate or control the fluid characteristic of the working fluid being provided to the fluid flow instrument.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein include a venue system that includes a guest recognition system configured to recognize one or more guests in a venue, and a guest experience analysis system configured to receive data relating to the recognized one or more guests from the guest recognition system, to generate guest experience information relating to the recognized one or more guests based at least in part on the received data relating to the recognized one or more guests, and to transmit the guest experience information relating to the recognized one or more guests to an augmented reality display device for display on an augmented reality display of the augmented reality display device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitoring method for monitoring a remote pumping station in communication with a computational device via the Internet. An embodiment of a method may comprise requesting, using the computational device, pumping station information from the pumping station. The pumping station information may then be received by the computational device. The pumping station information may be in the form of a pumping station profile. In one embodiment, information from the pumping station profile is displayed on a display of the computational device. The information displayed would typically comprise the water level, and indicators of the activation set points and deactivation set points for the pumps.

Abstract: A calibration method can begin by positioning a calibration image source around and substantially proximate to the exterior surface of a panoramic optical device that utilizes a conical quadric reflector having an aperture in its apex. The calibration image source can be made of a material that is substantially transparent to allow the passage of environmental light and can utilize a predetermined color palette having a calibration feature, such as a geometric shape and/or a line, which is in a known location. A quadric image of the calibration image source can then be captured. Coordinates for a visual image center of the calibration image can be determined by an image center calibration program using the location of the calibration feature. The visual image center can be the point around which a quadric image is transformed into a visually-correct panorama. The determined visual image center coordinates can be stored.

Abstract: A system for warning of potential collisions among subjects includes devices configured to be transported by the subjects. At least one of the devices may have a device identifier and may include a transceiver configured to transmit radio frequency signals including the device identifier. At least one of the devices may include a processor operably connected to a transceiver configured to receive radio frequency signals. In at least one of the devices, the processor is configured to store another device's identifier in a storage medium, to determine a signal strength of a radio frequency signal received from the other device, and to issue a warning signal based at least in part on at least one of the signal strength and the other device's identifier. The warning signal is configured to warn a subject of a potential collision with another subject.

Abstract: A method for avoiding collisions may include receiving a signal from a device, where the signal includes an identifier of the device transmitting the signal. The method for avoiding collisions may further include determining strength of the signal. The method for avoiding collisions may further include reading from a database a threshold corresponding to an allowable distance to the device. The method for avoiding collisions may further include comparing the threshold to one of the determined strength of the signal and an approximate distance of the device calculated based on the determined strength of the signal. The method for avoiding collisions may further include issuing a collision warning if the one of the determined strength of the signal and the approximate distance of the device exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fiber optic connector holder sized to fit within an opening for mounting a fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic connector holder is configured to permit a fiber optic connector with a dust cap positioned about a ferrule and a polished end face of an optical fiber held by the ferrule to be inserted within and releasably held by the connector holder. The present invention further relates to a system for holding fiber optic connectors including a fiber optic connector holder mounted within an opening in a bulkhead for mounting a fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic connector holder is configured to receive a fiber optic connector with a dust cap mounted about a ferrule and polished end face of an optical fiber held by the ferrule. The present invention also relates to a method of holding an optical fiber connector to a bulkhead, when the fiber optic connector includes a dust cap mounted about a ferrule and a polished end face of an optical fiber held by the ferrule.

Abstract: Resealable caps and tops for directional pour spout containers currently available for liquid and semi-solid products are either a spout and cap design, in which the tip is cut off to pour or squeeze out the container contents, or a non-spout, hinged top-and-bottom design, which defines a flat surface with an opening. These designs have many limitations. For example, the closure portion of a conventional spout closure can become detached, leading to production line delays, lost tips in transit, product recall at the store level, loss of shelf life and potential chocking hazards to children and pets. The non-spout hinged, top-and-bottom design does not offer the directional dispensing capabilities. This invention addresses the shortcomings of conventional caps and tops by providing a one-piece directional pour spout container cap in which the base has an upwardly directed spout and a hinged flip top cap is attached to the spout.

Abstract: A cementitious composition (1) which, in the hardened state, acts as a low leaching coating in low alkalinity and low hardness waters. The composition comprises at least one cement and a highly reactive pozzolan. The cementitious composition can be applied to a surface such as a metallic drinking water pipe (2) in order to provide corrosion protection therefor.
