The cover is configured to overlie at least a portion of the electrical interruption device and to resist the entry of a probe of known dimensions into electrical contact with components that are electrified even when the electrical interruption device is in an OFF condition.

Abstract: A method for territorial filtering, streaming, and downloading media files over a client-server network with local read-write execution capabilities enables application of digital rights management data across batches of media files without admin having to alter each file, or metadata associated with each file, individually. Media files stored remotely in memory associated with a server are batch-handled for application of digital rights management data. Digital rights management data is applicable to batched files by assignation to particular directories wherein media files stored within a particular directory are associable with particular digital rights management data. Territorial filtering is applied to exclude media files from display as part of a selectable menu whereby users requesting access from certain locations are denied access to media files restricted from playback in that location.

Abstract: A connected camera system and computer-implemented method for processing visual data. The camera system and method provides control data to a mobile application of a mobile device. The camera system and method transmits the control data from the mobile device (via a cloud service) to a camera device. The camera device configured with a camera housing comprising a camera sensor that captures visual data (e.g., image or video data) in view of a lens. The camera device further configured with a processor coupled to a motor for rotating a shaft. The camera system and method receive the control data, and based on the control data, the processor controls the motor to rotate the shaft. The rotating of the shaft, in turn, rotates the camera housing, such that the camera sensor captures the visual data in view of the lens through a 360-degree plane of rotation.

Abstract: A frequency multiplier circuit includes a frequency multiplier, a phase detector and a control circuit. The phase detector detects a difference between an input phase of an input to the frequency multiplier and an output phase of an output from the frequency multiplier. The control circuit is configured to maintain the output phase based on the difference detected by the phase detector.

Abstract: An elongate cylindrical projectile including processing circuitry, a head assembly, a tail section assembly, a mid body section positioned between the head assembly and tail assembly, and a wing assembly, the wing assembly including a deployable wing which is stored in a closed position entirely within the mid body section and is deployed, using an actuator, to outside the mid body section in an open position in response to a command from the processing circuitry.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system for wear monitoring, includes a wear surface, a metallic reflector embedded in the wear surface, a radio-wave transmitter, and a radio-wave receiver. The metallic reflector reflects radio waves transmitted by the radio-wave transmitter for detection by the radio wave receiver. Attenuation of the radio waves between transmission by the radio-wave transmitter and detection by the radio-wave receiver indicates a degree of wear of the wear surface.
