Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with recovering orphaned utility meters are described. In one embodiment, a method includes selecting, from an electronic database, a plurality of candidate meters that are located proximate to an orphaned meter as determined based, at least in part, on ping information received from the orphaned meter. The orphaned meter is a utility meter that is actively transmitting the ping information to a utility company and is not associated with a customer account. The example method may also include evaluating the plurality of candidate meters according to the ping information to generate comparative metrics that define similarities between the orphaned meter and each of the plurality of candidate meters to identify whether one or more of the plurality of candidate meters correlate with the orphaned meter. The method also includes generating an electronic output based, at least in part, on the comparative metrics.

Abstract: A support device for a golf bag comprising a pair of spaced apart legs, rigidly braced with respect to each other, securing means pivotally connecting the legs to the golf bag such that the legs are moveable between an extended position for support of the bag and a retracted position adjacent the bag, and means acting between the legs and the securing means for restraining the legs in their retracted positions.
