Abstract: A charging connector adapter is nested within a holster of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). If the adapter is to be used, the EVSE automatically locks the charging connector to the charging connector adapter and unlocks the charging connector adapter from the holster of the EVSE thereby allowing the charging cable with the charging connector adapter to be removed from the holster and used for connecting the charging connector adapter to an inlet of an electric vehicle. When the charging connector adapter is inserted back into the holster, the EVSE locks the charging connector to the holster and unlocks the charging connector from the charging connector adapter.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating the identification and registration of available Internet domain names in response to user input and/or other external criteria. In embodiments, a domain name platform is provided for interfacing with a user, generating lists of available top level and second level domain combinations, and facilitating registration of those domains. In embodiments, information beyond user input may be considered in generating lists of available domain names. In alternate embodiments, a computer system is disclosed for implementing the system. In further embodiments, machine-usable storage media is disclosed containing instructions for implementing the system.

Abstract: An electro-optic device is disclosed which has a plurality of independently-gatable portions. One example is an image intensifier having a number of segmented photocathode areas (GP). The corresponding portions of the intensifier can be energized independently via contact stripe (CS). Used in conjunction with an appropriate trigger signal generator, imaging device and beam splitter, the device may be used to capture a series of images at very high speed. An electrical device having a reflective tunnel for generating a plurality of input images is also disclosed.

Abstract: A radio frequency patient identification and information system includes a transponder which may be incorporated in a device which may be strapped to a patient's wrist or ankle, or hung around the patient's neck by a cord, carried as a card or label in the patient's purse or wallet, or embedded under the patient's skin. The transponder, in the form of an RFID tag, operates at a frequency standardized for this application, has a read/write memory of about at least two thousand bits—an amount sufficient to store information related to the patient's complete identification, such as home address, work address, next of kin, the patient's current primary care physicians, important contact telephone numbers, insurance information, complete medical history, all known allergies, and past and presently-prescribed medicines. The tag may be equipped with a transmission enable switch to prevent unauthorized access to the patient's medical history and other potentially sensitive information.

Abstract: A high speed imaging apparatus for high speed imaging in two dimensions is described. The apparatus comprises a plurality of image storing devices 1 to 8 arranged for receiving and storing images in two dimensions, exposure means for exposing respective ones of the devices to respective images of a sequence of images received by the apparatus, erasure means for erasing any previously stored image in the device to be exposed prior to exposure, read means for reading images stored in said devices, and stop means for stopping the exposure of said devices and the erasure of previously stored images when the apparatus receives a trigger signal representing occurrence of an event. This enables at least one image received by the apparatus before receipt of the trigger signal to be read from the apparatus after receipt thereof. The apparatus therefore provides for recordal, and subsequent retrieval of image information relating to an event received prior to detection of the event.

Abstract: A hand tool having a handle and an output member mounted for rotation relative to the handle. An actuating member is mounted for rotation on the handle, and a reduction gear couples the actuating member to the output member. The reduction gear comprises a driving pinion, a restraint member permitting gyration of the pinion relative to the handle but preventing rotation thereof about its own axis, and an internally toothed annulus coaxial with and affixed to the output member and driven by said pinion. The actuating member is coupled to the pinion to cause gyration of the pinion and rotation of the output member when the actuating member is rotated relative to the handle. The tool can be used for making either coarse or fine adjustments.
