Abstract: Methods of operating a system of nodes are provided. A method of operating first and second nodes that are in a system of nodes includes processing first data from a first plurality of sensors of the first node. The method includes controlling a first digital display of the first node in response to the processed first data. The method includes uploading the processed first data from the first node via the Internet. The method includes processing second data from a second plurality of sensors of the second node. The method includes controlling a second digital display of the second node in response to the processed second data. The method includes uploading the processed second data from the second node via the Internet. Each of the first and second nodes is attached to a utility pole, a light pole, a kiosk, or a motor vehicle. Related systems are also provided.

Abstract: An improved process for dyeing closely constructed non-tufted textile materials is provided wherein an effective minor amount of a substantially oil and water repellent fluoropolymer is applied to the textile material. The substantially oil and water repellent fluoropolymer employed can be represented schematically as ##STR1## The textile material can be, if desired, scoured with an aqueous surfactant solution to remove any residual dirt, oil or processing aids present on the textile material and thereafter scoured with an aqueous acidic solution to provide the textile material with an acidic pH prior to application of the fluoropolymer. Further, the back portion of the textile material can be backcoated with an elastomer composition. Once the textile material has been treated using any of the above processing steps, in combination with the application of the fluoropolymer, the resulting polymer-modified textile material is thoroughly dried and cured prior to dyeing.
