Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for regulating access to electronic entertainment to incentivize desired behavior. For instance, in one example, the behavior of an individual is monitored through data received from an electronic device. The behavior is compared to a predefined behavioral goal stored in a profile for the individual, and a predefined incentive associated with satisfaction of the predefined behavioral goal by the user is identified. The predefined incentive comprises access to an electronic entertainment medium. An instruction to the electronic entertainment medium is generated to grant access to the individual when it is determined that the individual has satisfied the predefined behavioral goal.

Abstract: An emergency breakaway system having an integral electrical testing system for confirming the functionality of a trailer's electric brake solenoids and electric lights includes housing enclosure having interface screen, a testing battery, and a testing controller. The trailer electrical system testing device is operative to replace a conventional emergency breakaway system, supplying the emergency breakaway functionality while also enabling real time, on demand testing of the trailer's electric brakes and lights. An integrated activation routine causes electricity to be supplied directly to the electric brakes in periodic, on/off intervals, thereby operating the electric brakes intermittently, for a predetermined time period. The activation routine thus allows a user to walk around the trailer and listen for activation of the electric brake solenoids as well as check and verify the functionality of the brake components.

Abstract: A new portable, self-contained device for testing the full cycle of trailer light modes without additional manual actuation by the user and for identifying where and what type of specific error occurred, if any are detected. The inventive device generally comprises a compact portable housing with a fixedly attached handle and a removable housing top. Within the compact portable housing is a self-contained, rechargeable 12 volt power source to power all functionality over a sustained period of time. Also within the compact portable housing is a light mode control means that allows the device to cycle through multiple light modes for testing, and an error detection analysis means that indicates where and what type of fault is detected.

Abstract: A system including a receiver, a TMDS link (or other serial link), and a transmitter configured to transmit K-bit video words (typically, encoded 8-bit video words) over the link. In typical embodiments, the transmitter is configured to pack a sequence of N-bit video words, where N?K (e.g., N=10, 12, or 16, when K=8) into a sequence of K-bit fragments, encode the fragments, and transmit the encoded fragments. The transmitted data are indicative of a sequence of M-fragment groups, and the transmitter is typically configured also to transmit over the link packing phase data indicative of the phase of the most recently transmitted fragment. Other aspects are transmitters and receivers for use in such a system and methods implemented by any such transmitter, receiver, or system.

Abstract: The invention concerns nondestructive ultrasonic test equipment for detection and visualization of damage to and in structural components through reflections of introduced ultrasound waves at inhomogeneities in the test area, consisting of primarily piezo sensors, which, depending on how they are driven, can function as transmitter or as receiver for ultrasound waves, and which are permanently attached, for example by gluing, to the damage-critical areas of structural components to be tested and/or monitored, and also of a control device, which is connected to the relevant sensor by electrically conducting wires, so that the received reflected ultrasound waves can be used as imaging data in a suitable device (analysis unit), in order to finally be compared with expected ultrasound images to evaluate any damage that may have occurred.

Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Heather plant named `Anette`, characterized by its bright pink flower buds that maintain color throughout the winter; light green leaf color without reddish tones; and freely and strong basal branching habit.
