Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing personal data on a client computer, in which personal data associated with the client computer is identified by a policy management module. An analysis may be performed for the client computer by a server using fake personal data. To identify applications which may attempt to access the personal data, the fake personal data is tracked for access on the client computer. A policy is then created that disallows access of the personal data by any applications identified by the analysis of the client computer as accessing the fake personal data. The policy is then assigned to the client computer.

Abstract: An apparatus having at least a first interface system. The at least a first interface system has a sensor interface portion for receiving an input of successive frames of a moving image from a video capture device; a processor portion that causes the input of successive frames of the moving image to be stabilized, compressed, and averaged, and a transmission component portion for transmitting the stabilized, compressed, and averaged input of successive frames of a moving image across a network. The stabilization of the successive frames of the moving image reduces the effects of unintended motion of the video capture device and is utilized to determine a feedback control. The processor portion utilizes the feedback control to cause the moving image to remain substantially centered within the individual frames of the input of successive frames of the moving image by causing the adjustment of the video capture device.

Abstract: Wooden utility pole structures are nondestructively tested while in service, in particular utility pole cross-arms. A helicopter or boom truck brings an operator to the cross-arm. Manually striking the cross-arm using a hammer or other weight with an attached accelerometer senses and sends a shock wave through the cross-arm. The shock wave also is sensed using a second accelerometer sensor in a temporarily affixed sensor pod at the other end of the cross-arm, or alternatively, a non-contact radar vibration sensor is trained on a fastener in the cross-arm, to sense vibration from the shock wave. Practical aspects include mounting particulars for affixing the sensor pod against the cross-arm, manipulating the sensor pod at an elevation below the helicopter working platform, measurements for dimensions and density, etc. The data is received at a processor and correlated with structural strength or used to rank the relative strength of cross-arms.
