  • Patent number: 11391766
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention include a method and system for metering an electrical grid comprising at least one processor executing instructions from a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of an electrical grid fault detection system. In some embodiments of the system, the instructions cause a processor to calculate a prediction of whether power delivery to at least a portion of the electrical grid is functioning abnormally using voltage sensing devices coupled to at least one feeder, where one or more of the voltage sensing devices are responsive to a determination that the power delivery is functioning abnormally. Further in some embodiments, the determination includes the electrical grid fault detection system receiving at least one signal or voltage reading from the electrical grid based at least in part on a sensed or received voltage level or range of voltage level.

  • Publication number: 20060201447
    Abstract: A method and system for retrieving a lost animal and rewarding a location such as an animal shelter for successful retrieval of the lost animal is provided. An animal owner subscribes to the system, providing subscriber information and identifying data of his animal. The subscriber reports to a central database system that his animal is lost and is provided with a compiled database of locations where a lost animal may be located. Using the database, the subscriber transmits or delivers the subscriber information and the identifying data of the animal to the locations. Alternatively, the central database system transmits the identifying data and the subscriber information to the locations. A reward is provided to the location where the lost animal is retrieved.

  • Patent number: 6458376
    Abstract: Nonaqueous pharmaceutical compositions for use in aqueous physiological systems are disclosed comprising drug delivery suspension of nonaqueous perfluorocarbon or fluorinated silicone liquid carriers. The suspended drug may be water labile or water stable and therapeutic or diagnostic compounds which will remain stable and pharmaceutically effective for extended periods. The pharmaceutical compositions have improved bioavailability, are capable of low dose volume delivery, and do not degrade the incorporated therapeutic or diagnostic compounds making them well suited for multi-dose packaging and administration.
