  • Publication number: 20130025583
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a solar tracking system. The solar collector has a first end and a second end. The fulcrum is located between the first end and the second end of the solar collector. The solar collector revolves eastward or westward about the fulcrum. The water container is attached to the first end of the solar collector and has a water inlet and a water outlet valve. The first resilient member is secured to and supports an underside of the first end or second end of the solar collector. The first trigger switch is used to detect if the water container is empty of water to open the water input valve to supply water and close the water outlet valve. The second trigger switch is used to detect if the water container is full of water to close the water input valve and open the water outlet valve to drain water out of the water container.

  • Publication number: 20080066064
    Abstract: Incremental application deployment allows any files under development for an application to be modified directly in place, such as on a server disk. Application and module configuration information can be collected from a user as they build their application. Each time a developer modifies the configuration of the application, changes can be immediately deployed to the server in the background, including appropriate modifications to the deployment descriptors. Once modifications are completed, the application can have already been deployed to the server. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

  • Publication number: 20070036279
    Abstract: While various communication systems permit one-on-one communication between users, it is difficult to contact multiple users at a time with little hassle. The personal notification and broadcasting system provides a solution for contacting a plurality of contacts in emergency and non-emergency contexts. The system receives a call from a caller attempting to reach the plurality of contacts. The system compares an identifier associated with the caller to identifiers stored in a database to authenticate identity of the caller. Responsive to a positive authentication of the identity of the caller, the system identifies which contacts on a contact list to be reached based on information provided by the caller. In some embodiments, the system retrieves from a database stored contact information for the identified contacts. The system contacts the identified plurality of contacts and selects an action to take (e.g., arranging a conference call, broadcasting a message from the caller, etc.
