Abstract: A computer-implemented method for implementing an architecture for a smart building includes receiving, by a hub of the smart building, speech input from a smart speaker. The speech input describes asynchronous events associated with smart devices in the smart building. The hub is connected to a cloud Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP) router located in a cloud. The asynchronous events are converted to a trigger, a condition, or an action to be performed by at least one smart device. An automated flow is generated for controlling at least one adapter in the smart building from at least one of the trigger, the condition, or the action. The at least one adapter operates the at least one smart device. The at least one smart device corresponds to at least one node in the automated flow.

Abstract: A hip belt includes a center panel, and first and second padded portions connected to the center panel and extending therefrom. Each of the first and second padded portions includes a rear end, an opposed front end, and a face extending therebetween. A pulley assembly is carried on the padded portion, and the pulley assembly includes proximal pulleys located at the rear end, distal pulleys located between the front and rear ends, and a cord wound therebetween. A collapsible panel between the proximal and distal pulleys collapses when the pulley assembly contracts. A buckle is carried at a front end of the respective first of second padded portion.

Abstract: A hip belt includes an inelastic center panel and first and second padded portions connected to the center panel and extending therefrom. Each of the first and second padded portions has a rear end proximate to the center panel, an opposed front end, and a face extending therebetween. Each also has an adjustable pulley assembly carried on the padded portion, and a strap secured to the pulley assembly over the padded portion for sliding movement along the face of the padded portion. A buckle is carried at the front end of each padded portion for coupling with each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for sorting a plurality of protein structures generated by a database search based upon their corresponding sequences. The methods and systems according to the invention are based upon computer generated graphical user interfaces that present to the user: i) a multiple sequence alignment of the sequences corresponding to the structures to be sorted; ii) the means to identify whether one or more of the sequences comprise homologous alignment domains; and iii) the means to select one or more sequences for subsequent processing of their corresponding structures. In another aspect of the invention, the user is presented one or more phylogenetic tree representations of user selected homologous alignment domains so that the user may quickly determine the evolutionary similarity of a family of homologous alignment domains.
