Abstract: An electronic key may include a partial capacitor comprising a capacitive metal plate in communication with a processor. The capacitive metal plate of the partial capacitor is configured to form a capacitor with a corresponding capacitive metal plate of a lock when brought into proximity with the metal plate of the lock. Data may be transferred from the key to the lock using a capacitor formed by combining the two metal plates, wherein a common ground is established between the metal plate of the key and the metal plate of the lock through a parasitic capacitance present between the key and lock circuitry. Audit trail data may be recorded based on usage of the key.

Abstract: A radio frequency waveguide communication system includes a controller configured to output a radio frequency signal, and at least one connected node configured to output a node signal indicative of monitored parameter of a machine. The radio frequency waveguide communication system includes a waveguide and a radio frequency interface module. The waveguide is in signal communication with the controller and is configured to guide the radio frequency signal toward the at least one connected node. The radio frequency interface module is configured to establish signal communication between the controller and the at least one connected node, and includes at least one detachable portion configured to detach from the at least one waveguide.

Abstract: A system for presenting graphic depictions of a workflow in a workplace gathers information to help it automatically identify the workflow. The system presents surveys to human resources and receives responses to develop various segments of the workflow. The system resolves any gaps by using the received responses to identify additional human resources who should receive surveys. It then presents surveys to the additional human resources, receives additional responses, and uses the additional responses to complete the workflow.

Abstract: A device, system and method for providing an assembly configured for hooking to a ridge rafter of a building is provided. In one embodiment the device comprises a single piece unit, made from steel or another sufficiently strong material which is hooked at one end and looped at the other end thus forming an eye. The hook starts by turning a 90 degree and then a 0 degree to 180 degree turn. The compound angle thus formed allows the device to be angled into a small opening. The device is used to hook the ridge rafter from the bottom side of a building roof while having a tie-off point for fall protection.

Abstract: An article for use in a fuel cell stack (10) includes a bipolar plate (30) that includes a metal alloy having a nominal composition of about 40 wt % to 60 wt % nickel, about 12 wt % to 25 wt % chromium, about 10 wt % to 35 wt % iron, and about 5 wt % to 10 wt % of at least one element from aluminum, manganese, molybdenum, niobium, cobalt, vanadium, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A system for handling a call requiring non-standard processing to a call answer point and for providing location information concerning the call to the call answer point, comprising a call routing apparatus for identifying the call as requiring non-standard processing and in response providing a priority routing for the call, translation table apparatus for receiving the call via the priority routing and in response assigning a predetermined designation for indicating the location information, protocol harmonization apparatus for formatting the call for digital transmission to the call answer point, including inserting the predetermined designation in an information portion of the digital transmission, and digital interface apparatus for receiving the call properly formatted for the digital transmission and in response transmitting the call to the call answer point, whereupon the call answer point ascertains the location of origination of the call from the predetermined designation.

Abstract: Azines are prepared by reacting aqueous ammonia and a carbonyl compound with chloramine in a series of two or more reactors arranged in a cascade system.
