Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs, for generating dynamic data filters. In one aspect, a data processing system is disclosed that is configured to perform operations that include receiving a data source agnostic information request (DSAIR), determining, based on the DSAIR, (i) one or more source selection keys and (ii) a data dictionary, identifying, by the data processing system, one or more data sources related to the received DSAIR using the one or more source selection keys, generating a dynamic data filter using one or more of the plurality of terms of the data dictionary, filtering, using the dynamic data filter, information in the one or more data sources that were identified using the source selection keys, and providing the filtered information from the one or more data sources for output by the user device.

Abstract: A device for controlling the dispensing of a beverage is provided. The device is configured to control the dispensing of a bag-in-box beverage and includes a removable adaptor for attachment to a push button operated beverage dispensing valve. The removable adaptor includes a base with interior passageway, a plurality of clamp members to releasably secure the removable adaptor to the beverage dispensing valve, and a depression member with a depression extension for depressing the push button of the beverage dispensing valve.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for compensating for inaccuracies in flow measurement in real-time during accumulation of usage. A pulse count indicating an amount of flow in a meter over a measurement period is read. An average flow rate through the meter for the measurement period is determined and a correction factor is looked up from a table based on the average flow rate. A total usage accumulator for the meter is then updated with the amount of flow over the measurement period based on the pulse count and the correction factor.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and apparatuses for detecting tampering with a utility meter. A method may comprise measuring a magnetic field created by a rotating magnet in the meter by a removal detector sensor in a solid-state register (SSR). In addition, the SSR may be configured to detect when the SSR is dislodged or removed from the utility meter. The sensor may comprise a register removal tamper alert. The tamper detection methods described herein provide improved techniques for preventing and deterring attempts to alter meters and steal utility-provided resources.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for using magnetic sensing to detect tampering with a meter. A magnetic field created by a rotating magnet in the meter is measured. Whether the magnetic field is below a removal threshold is determined. Upon determining that the magnetic field is below the removal threshold, a register removal tamper alert is provided.

Abstract: This invention allows a common centrifugal blower (fan) to be used to produce cold air for comfort cooling purposes. It uses no chemicals, has no compressor, and does not require a drain since it produces no water while operating. It has been tested in my home, and was used to cool a large tent while family camping. It cooled the tent in 95 degree weather with excellent results. With the addition of the invention to a furnace blower, it can pre-cool air entering an existing conventional central air conditioning system and save energy, or the furnace blower itself could be used as the central air system. in the winter, for furnace heating use, one needs just block the resonator inlets and the blower functions as a normal blower. A smaller blower, like the prototype used for camping, is completely portable and does not need to occupy any windows, as in a window a/c unit. It is extremely environmentally friendly. I have searched the internet world-wide and have found nothing like this device anywhere.
