Abstract: A network intelligence system may include a plurality of sensors located throughout and industry system. The sensors may obtain data related to various aspects of the industry network. The network intelligence system may include system endpoint intelligence and system infrastructure intelligence. The system endpoint and system infrastructure intelligence may provide distributed intelligence allowing localized decision-making to be made within the industry system based in response to system operation and occurrences. The network intelligence may include a centralized intelligence portion to communicate with endpoint and infrastructure intelligence. The centralized intelligence portion may provide responses on a localized level of the system or on a system-wide level.

Abstract: The present invention provides a quick-connect pressure test apparatus. The apparatus includes a test plug having a set of sealing rings extending around a sidewall thereof for fitting within an inner diameter of a pipe. The test plug has a first end having a receiving cavity in communication with a central lumen that extends through the test plug to a second end thereof. A retainer is configured to sit on an end section of the pipe, having a plurality of retaining arms flexibly extending about an outer diameter of the pipe. A slide compressor is configured to receive the retainer within a cylindrical cavity, urging the retaining arms to frictionally engage the outer diameter of the pipe and maintain the test plug within the pipe. A plug handle or, alternatively, a pressure coupler may be received in the receiving cavity of the test plug.

Abstract: A variable control device accessory for a music synthesizer having a horizontally disposed keyboard. The device is positioned in front of the keyboard. It has a plurality of movable bars, at least of one of which is capable of being pivotally and slidably moved by the wrist of a player while all the others are only slidable. The bars modulate selected light beams focussed on light responsive mechanisms to produce variably dependent analog signals as inputs to the music synthesizer.

Abstract: A music synthesizer has a pivotable and slidable bar mounted in front of the keyboard of the synthesizer, the bar disposed generally parallel thereto whereby a wrist of a player may cause the bar either to pivot about an external hinge or pivot, or to slide about an axis of the bar. An actuating member is provided which responds to motion of the bar to mechanically operate potentiometers of the synthesizer to provide variably positioned dependent analog signals as inputs to the synthesizer.
