Abstract: The present invention essentially comprises an application, software, system, method and combinations thereof that allow using a mobile phone's location-determining capabilities, compass, and camera, an application on the mobile device that can be used to display characteristics of weather within a predetermined distance from the mobile device by querying a remote server to gather information on the attributes about the weather within the predetermined radius of the device location.

Abstract: An automated plasma cutting system is provided that includes a positioning system mounted to a support, an automated plasma arc torch mounted to the positioning system, and at least one power supply operatively connected to the automated plasma arc torch. The power supply may provide electrical power and fluid flow to the automated plasma arc torch for operation. The system further includes a controller in communication with the automated plasma arc torch and the power supply, and an auxiliary plasma arc torch operatively connected to the power supply, wherein the power supply provides electrical power and fluid flow to both the automated plasma arc torch and the auxiliary plasma arc torch. The automated plasma arc torch may process the workpiece to generate a set of features, while the auxiliary plasma arc torch may process/cut a residual framework of the workpiece remaining after formation of the set of features.

Abstract: A temperature control system and method reduces thermal/strain fatigue failures in connections between first and second circuit elements of an electronic circuit. A temperature control device is in a heat exchange relationship with at least one of the first and second circuit elements. The temperature control device maintains a temperature of the first and second circuit elements below a predetermined high temperature and above a predetermined low temperature when the electronic circuit is operating and when the electronic circuit is not operating to reduce thermally-induced fatigue of the connection. The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the first and second circuit elements are also matched. The temperature control device includes a thermoelectric heat pump, a heat pipe, a finned heat exchanger, a phase change heat transfer device, a heat sink and/or any other suitable temperature control device.
