Abstract: A computing device includes one or more memory devices, one or more processors and computer-readable instructions executable by the one or more processors, the computer-readable instructions to cause the computing device to 1) receive real estate product selection from real estate customer; 2) receive real estate meeting request time value and real estate meeting location from the real estate customer; 3) generate query including the real estate product selection, the real estate meeting request time value and the real estate meeting location; 4) communicate the query including the real estate product selection, the real estate meeting request time value and the real estate meeting location to a database server; 5) receive, in real time from the database server, one or more recommended real estate agents based at least in part on the real estate product selection, the real estate meeting request time and the real estate meeting location.

Abstract: Residual magnetic locks, brakes, rotation inhibitors, clutches, actuators, and latches. The residual magnetic devices can include a core housing and an armature. The residual magnetic devices can include a coil that receives a magnetization current to create an irreversible residual magnetic force between the core housing and the armature.

Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for reducing power consumption by an optical network transmitter (ONT) in a passive optical network (PON). The techniques may be particularly useful in extending the period of battery powered telephone service during a power outage. In particular, the invention provides a hibernation mode in which power is supplied only to a watchdog circuit while the ONT powers down the optical transmitter, the optical receiver, processing circuitry, data circuitry, video circuitry, and telephone circuitry to conserve power. The watchdog circuit wakes up a subset of the deactivated circuitry at service-critical events in order to service such events, but video and data processing circuitry remain deactivated.
