Abstract: An electrical power network employing fault location, isolation and system restoration. The system includes a plurality of switching devices electrically coupled along a power line downstream of a fault interrupting device. The switching devices each have current and voltage sensing capability and the capability to provide pulse tests for detecting fault presence. The fault interrupting device performs reclosing operations, and when the plurality of switching devices detect fault presence a predetermined number of times in coordination with reclosing operations performed by the fault interrupting device and detect loss of voltage, each switching device opens. The fault interrupting device closes when the switching devices open, and the switching devices sequentially pulse test and close from a furthest upstream switching device when detecting return of voltage and no fault presence until a switching device closest to the fault pulse tests and detects fault presence and locks open.

Abstract: Data structures, methods and tiling engines for storing tiling data in memory wherein the tiles are grouped into tile groups and the primitives are grouped into primitive blocks. The methods include, for each tile group: determining, for each tile in the tile group, which primitives of each primitive block intersect that tile; storing in memory a variable length control data block for each primitive block that comprises at least one primitive that intersects at least one tile of the tile group; and storing in memory a control stream comprising a fixed sized primitive block entry for each primitive block that comprises at least one primitive that intersects at least one tile of the tile group, each primitive block entry identifying a location in memory of the control data block for the corresponding primitive block. Each primitive block entry may comprise valid tile information identifying which tiles of the tile group are valid for the corresponding primitive block.

Abstract: An authentication system includes an authentication module maintaining a store of credentials for a set of users. In response to an identity specified by credentials provided from a requestor address not being found in the store of credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication failure response. In response to the provided credentials matching selected credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication success response. The authentication system includes an analyzer module configured to determine a number of identity-not-found failures corresponding to a first address, identify a triggering event in response to the number exceeding a predetermined threshold, and, in response to the triggering event, add the first address to a block list.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for the electrochemical production of hydrogen, oxygen and metal hydroxide wherein the metal is derived from a metal silicate. The process involves the electrolysis of a metal salt solution where hydrogen and a metal hydroxide are produced at the cathode, and oxygen, or chlorine, and an acid are produced at the anode. The acid is reacted with a metal silicate producing a soluble metal salt and water that is used in turn to make solid or dissolved metal hydroxide. The net CO2 and acid gas emissions of the invention and its products may therefore be significantly reduced or turned negative.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a message comprising an origin, a destination and a relationship type for a relationship between the origin and the destination. The message further includes a payload. A first node is created in a graph database for the origin and a second node is created in the graph database for the destination. A relationship is set between the first node and the second node in the graph database based on the relationship type. A node is created in the graph database for the message while preventing the payload from being stored in the graph database. A relationship is created between the first node and the node for the message. The message, including the payload, is stored in a searchable datastore separate from the graph database.

Abstract: A physical toggle button located in a cabin of a vehicle receives input indicating a change in state of the physical toggle button from a first mode in which a plurality of functions of smart home devices are set to a first state to a second mode in which the plurality of functions of the smart home devices are set to a second state. Using a telematics control module of the vehicle, a state change request is sent indicating the change in state to a cloud service maintaining a function mapping including information for setting the plurality of functions between the first state and the second state.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for wirelessly communicating sound data and one or more sound signal attributes from an external component of a medical device to an implantable component of the medical device via one or more data packets. For example, when the medical device is embodied as a hearing device, such as a cochlear implant system or hearing aid, sensory data and one or more sensory signal attributes determined from input sensory data can be combined into data packets by an external component and wirelessly transmitted to an implantable component of the cochlear implant system. The cochlear implant can separate the sensory data and one or more sensory signal attributes from the data packets and further process the sensory data using the one or more sensory signal attributes in order to generate stimulation signals for delivery to a recipient of the cochlear implant system.
