Abstract: A failsafe protection system for a distributed telecommunications site ties power shut off to a network interface unit to power supply conditions at a base transceiver station. In one aspect, the system is integrated with circuitry at the distributed telecommunications site, and includes an electrical power supplying device, a low voltage disconnect and a relay coupled with a DC bus. Additionally, the failsafe protection system includes a first circuit pathway coupling the base transceiver station electronics to the low voltage disconnect and a second circuit pathway coupling the network interface unit to the DC bus through the relay. Both the low voltage disconnect and the relay selectively control the coupling of the base transceiver station and the network interface unit, respectively, with the DC bus.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for creating, accessing and managing self-validating documents in supply chain management, documentation services in which at least one alphanumeric string is extracted from a document, relevant alphanumeric strings are determined from the extracted alphanumeric strings by a comparison in sequence and in combination with terms related to materials in a dictionary database of common material terms, and storing matched alphanumeric strings in a data processing system. This system and method provides, among other things, the ability to validate compliance certifications, including via access to underlying source documentation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to apparatuses and methods for providing targeted product offers to customers. For example, in one embodiment, a first entity sends a targeted offer to certain customers. The first entity uses a second entity to perform a service related to the offer, such as an enrollment service. The first entity sends a candidate file to the second entity, where the candidate file includes a list of customers that qualify for the offer. The first entity authenticates the customer and, when the customer expresses interest in the targeted offer, the first entity forwards the customer to the second entity along with customer identifying information so that the second entity can perform the related service. The second entity then verifies whether the transferred customer qualifies for the offer by comparing the customer information to the candidate file. If verified, the second entity can perform the service related to the offer for the customer.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a method and system for assessing image quality of sub-images used to form a composite image using an algorithm developed by applying statistical correlation techniques to historical data on features of sub-images which were manually evaluated by experts and using those assessment to make decisions about the further processing of the sub-images which are being assessed. The method and system find particular value in the processing of sub-images generated while there is relative motion between the specimen under examination and the objective lens of a microscope such as when the microscope stage follows a planned traverse in the focal plane and a digital image is created at intervals correlated to the motion of the stage so that a region of interest in the specimen under examination is covered by the sub-images.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement in a bucket seat cover, which permits the functionality of seat-integrated seat belts and seat-attached armrests, which comprises: a vehicle seat cover of a type and size adequate to cover both the front of a vehicle seat and the back of a vehicle seat, characterized by elastic lined pass-through openings in the shoulder and hip area, connected by a zipper or other separation means to permit the transverse of seat-integrated seat belts, and, optionally incorporating additional openings on side panels, behind zipper, for transverse of seat-attached armrests.

Abstract: The present invention includes a seat cover useful for covering seats, where the seats include automobile seats. The seat cover can include at least one pouch and or pocket. Further, the seat cover is similar in appearance to a pullover exercise top, where one the at least one pouch or pocket resembles a hand warmer and the other pouch or pocket resembles a hood.
