Abstract: The present disclosure provides a lighting system for a carrying bag having an interior surface that includes a repositionable fastening element having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of the repositionable fastening element removably adheres to the interior surface of the carrying bag, and the second surface includes at least one fastening feature.

Abstract: The invention provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a tool band and an elongate lighting device adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. The device can have many additional and/or alternative passive and/or active conspicuity features, such as lasers, lamps, photoluminescent and retroreflective materials, among others.

Abstract: An athletic glove is provided, comprising a palm portion and a digit portion having a plurality of generally hollow digit sleeves extending from the palm portion. Each of the generally hollow digit sleeves is configured to generally confine a respective digit of a wearer. Spacers are provided between the generally hollow digit sleeves and generally maintain a predetermined abduction of the digits upon a relaxation of the wearer's hand, while generally permitting an adduction of the plurality of digits upon a predetermined adductive force exerted by the wearer. The spacers comprise a generally rigid member having a predetermined compressibility. The generally hollow digit sleeves may be closed or open at a distal end thereof. The palm portion may be a flexible fabric and a fitment apparatus selectively tightens the palm portion on a hand of the wearer. One or more padding portions may be further configured to distribute a force experienced by the wearer upon engagement with a ball.

Abstract: A system including at least one monitor and a toy is disclosed. The at least one monitor may be communicatively coupled to at least one sensor configured to measure at least one physical parameter of an operator. The at least one monitor receives at least one measurement from the at least one sensor indicative of the at least one physical parameter of the operator. The at least one monitor may determine whether the operator is in an elevated emotional state based, at least in part, on the at least one measurement. The toy may be capable of being operated by at least one operator and may comprise a control system in communication with the at least one monitor. The control system may be configured to affect at least one behavior of the toy to cause the toy to be more difficult to use when the monitor indicates that the operator is in an elevated emotional state.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, at a controller coupled to a memory array, a method includes receiving an indication that a first group of data bits read from the memory array includes errors that are uncorrectable by an error correction coding (ECC) engine. A count of the first group of data bits having a particular bit value may be compared to a prior count of data bits having the particular bit value. In response to determining that the count exceeds the prior count, a bit of the first group of data bits that has the particular bit value and that corresponds to a same memory cell as a corrected data bit of a second group of data bits is identified. A value of the identified bit of the first group may be changed to generate an adjusted group of data bits. The adjusted group of data bits may be provided to the ECC engine.

Abstract: The invention provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a tool band and an electroluminescent lamp adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. The device can have many additional and/or alternative passive and/or active conspicuity features, such as lasers, lamps, photoluminescent and retroreflective materials, among others.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for identifying relevant documents. The method receives a set of reference documents. The method analyzes the received set of reference documents. Based on this analysis, the method then identifies one or more documents that are potentially relevant to the discussion in one or more reference documents. In some embodiments, the method identifies the relevant documents by examining candidate documents that are on a computer or are accessible by a computer through a computer network (e.g., a local area network, a wide area network, or a network of networks, such as the Internet). In these embodiments, the method uses its analysis of the reference document set to determine whether the discussion (i.e., content) of the candidate document is relevant to the topics discussed in one or more of the reference documents. If so, the method of some embodiments identifies the candidate document as a potentially relevant document (i.e.

Abstract: A system and method for remote analysis and control of test and measurement devices for diagnosis and troubleshooting problems for users of the test and measurement devices. The remote analysis and control tool kit includes a processing device with a modem that is connected to a video camera. The video camera provides video images through the processing device back through the modem so that the remote analysis and control tool kit may transmit video across a network to a call center systems engineer. The remote analysis and control tool kit also includes control software that enables a systems engineer to provide control instructions to the test and measurement device and the system under test, and request status data from both the test and measurement device and the system under test.
