Abstract: Position sensing modules associated with a device are provided. The position sensing modules are configured to receive electrical characteristics associated with one or more switches of a device over a predetermined period of time, the one or more switches being configured to connect service to or disconnect service from a customer; calculate a match indicator for each phase of the device including the one or more switches, the match indicator indicating whether an electrical characteristic on a load-side of the device matches a same electrical characteristic on a line-side of the device for each phase of the device; and determine a position of the one or more switches based on the received electrical characteristics and the calculated match indicator for each phase of the device.

Abstract: Position sensing and verification modules and a meter are provided. A module is configured to determine a position of one or more switch poles by measuring a current across the one or more switch poles. If a current is greater than or equal to a predetermined current threshold, the position is closed. If a current is less than the predetermined current threshold, the position is open. The module is configured to determine a line voltage with respect to a first reference value, determine a load voltage with respect to the first reference value, compare the line voltage to the load voltage to determine if the line voltage and the load voltage are within a predetermined threshold, and confirm the position of the one or more switch poles based on the comparison of the line voltage to the load voltage for the one or more line phases.

Abstract: The GameKitt is a spiral bound “notebook” style flip-through with a front and back cover. It is bound on the long side (top) with horizontal content. It can be generic or team specific. The GameKitt comes with a standard pre sharpened #2 graphite pencil. The GameKitt contains a plastic transparent receptacle sleeve, a Welcome page, GameDay page, PreGame page, a Key page, Innings pages, and a PostGame page. The function of the GameKitt is to retain a detailed record of a day at the ballpark. It is intended to record all of the circumstances, conditions, personal observations and events involved with or relating to the experience of attending a professional baseball game. The purpose of the GameKitt is not only to retain a playby-play account of the game, but also to keep a more comprehensive, meaningful record of the entire experience that can later be referred to for either historic or nostalgic purposes.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods that associate one-hundred percent of the nucleic or amino acid sequence polymorphisms of a particular length with an examined phenotype. Each association is documented by the number of case and control group individuals on whose sequences the polymorphism occurs, as well as relative risk, chi square, and correlation statistics. Association statistics are reported in various formats, such as alphabetically by polymorphism with associated statistic, by statistical value with associated polymorphism, or by polymorphism with associated statistic continuously from the beginning to the end of the chromosome, gene, or polypeptide of examined individuals. The computer user designates the range of results reported to the computer monitor and to a text report and, thus, can chose to report only needle-in-the-haystack results within a range of desired frequencies of occurrence, relative risks, chi squares, or correlations.

Abstract: Problems of excessive fading in systems for monitoring single-mode optical fiber for disturbances are addressed by launching into the fiber polarized light having at least two different predetermined launch states of polarization whose respective Stokes vectors are linearly-independent of each other; downstream from the first location, receiving the light from the fiber; analyzing the received light using polarization state analyzer having at least two different analyzer states of polarization that are characterized by respective Stokes vectors that are linearly-independent and detecting the analyzed light to provide corresponding detection signals; deriving from the detection signals measures of changes in polarization transformation properties of the fiber between different times that are invariant under a non-reflective unitary transformation on either the launch states or the detection states; and, on the basis of predefined acceptable physical disturbance criteria determining whether or not the measures

Abstract: A plurality of cameras are controlled to follow a common moving target in a three dimensional environment such that each camera generates a video feed comprising a plurality of video segments captured sequentially. Each video segment comprises a static image of the target at a respective point in time. A resulting video is generated by selecting a sequence of video segments which may include video segments from different cameras and at the same or different points in time to create various video effects. The recorded video segments are categorized for later recall according to camera identification and point in time to allow for instantaneous recall for producing video replays from a variety of camera angles during a live event. Auxiliary video segments can be computer generated for insertion between video segments captured by the cameras for smoothing the appearance of the resulting video.

Abstract: To keep tab of a rolling or moving inventory loaded onto a moving transport such as for example a train, a number of upload/download workstations are dispersed among the various train stations of the transport network. Each of the workstations is communicatively connected to a centrally located host server. A portable terminal in the form of a point of sale (POS) unit is provided to each service agent assigned to one of the trains that travels a given route along the network. The POS unit is connected to a workstation at the commissary where inventory is removed for stocking the train to download data relating to the amount of inventory removed from the commissary. During the trip, the POS unit is used as a cash register as well as a recorder of all transactions that take place. At the end of the trip, the POS unit is removed from the train and connected to an upload/download workstation located at the destination train station.
