Abstract: Systems and methods for token secured routing and discovery in token secured routing are disclosed. An inbound routing table is maintained. A communication link is established with a second node via a first port. A discovery packet is sent to the second node via the first port. A token is generated for communication with the second node. A first inbound routing entry is added to the inbound routing table, wherein the first inbound routing entry maps the first token state to the second node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for token secured routing are disclosed. An outbound routing table is maintained. A first token state is determined. A token value is determined based on the determined token state. First and second portions of the token value are identified. The first message is encrypted using the second portion of the first token value. A first packet is generated that includes the first portion as a token and includes the encrypted first message. The first packet is sent to the second node based on the second outbound routing entry in the outbound routing table.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for power transfer system for a wave energy converter. The system includes a plurality of hydraulic cylinders including a first cluster of input cylinders and a second cluster of output cylinders. The input cylinders are coupled to an underwater structure and are configured to receive an input force from a relative motion between a buoy housing and the underwater structure. The output cylinders are configured to transfer an output force to an electric generator. The power transfer system further includes a hydraulic connection between the input cylinders and the output cylinders. The hydraulic connection is configurable to switch a portion of the hydraulic cylinders into and out of the hydraulic connection between the input cylinders and the output cylinders.

Abstract: The present invention is a label system and method for label alignment and placement on a container. The label system includes a first label or a container whereby the first label includes alignment symbology and a second label having an alignment area corresponding to the alignment symbology of the first label. The second label is positioned on the container whereby the alignment area of the second label is aligned with the alignment symbology of the first label. The method for label alignment and placement comprises the steps of (i) providing a container with identification information and a label bearing area; (ii) scanning the identification information; (iii) processing the identification information; (iv) printing indicia on a label at a position defined by the identification information; and (v) placing the label on the container with the indicia positioned at the desired predetermined location.

Abstract: An energy harvester generates electrical energy from mechanical energy using changing flux properties in primary and secondary flux paths. An apparatus includes at least two primary flux paths. The primary flux paths include at least one bias flux path configured to exhibit a change in a flux property in response to a change in an external load applied to the bias flux path. The secondary flux path is magnetically coupled to the primary flux paths. The secondary flux path is configured to experience alternating flux directions in response to the change in the flux property of the bias flux path. Electrical energy can be induced in a conductor as a result of the alternating flux direction in the secondary flux path.

Abstract: Processes for forming ferric chloride solutions that are stable at relatively low temperatures and suitable for transportation without precipitation are provided. The stable ferric chloride solutions have an iron content of about 16 to about 23 weight percent and a hydrochloric acid content of about 11 to about 17 weight percent, wherein the ferric chloride solution is a stable solution and/or reversibly freezes at ?10° C. Also disclosed are processes for reconstituting the stable ferric chlorides solutions to provide a final iron content of 10 to 14 weight percent and lower the concentration of hydrochloric acid contained therein.

Abstract: A power tool assembly, such as a soldering tool, is provided with a power tool having a functional end, a cap for protecting the functional end of the power tool, a first receiving surface on the power tool at least proximate to the functional end for removably attaching the cap to the power tool to cover the functional end. The power tool also has a second receiving surface on the power tool for removably attaching the cap to the power tool at a surface other than the first receiving surface when the functional end of the power tool is in use.

Abstract: A conveyor system is provided to limit the vertical fall experienced by a product transported along the conveyor and falling into a collection bin. A sensor in a fixed position relative to the product conveying plane of the conveyor measures product collection height in a collection bin to produce an output signal. A controller dynamically varies the angle between the conveyance plane and the collection bin base plane and the vertical displacement therebetween within a preselected range in order to minimize product damage associated with different fall trajectories from the conveyor into the bin for product. Either the conveyor or the collection bin is pivoted under the command of the controller to accomplish the desired function.

Abstract: A handheld power tool, such as a soldering tool, is provided with grip pads. These grip pads increase the friction between a user's fingers and the power tool, in order to increase control when using the tool. These grip pads are especially useful in tools which are held in a pen like grip.

Abstract: A portable electronic device, such as a soldering iron, is provided with two electrodes formed of or containing an electrically resistive material.
