Abstract: Method and system is provided for detecting faults and/or providing optimization measures to enhance the performance of one or more buildings, especially building automation equipment of the one or more buildings. The system may include a database for storing a data model comprising asset and performance data of the one or more buildings. The data model may be represented in one or more hierarchical tree-structures, in which the nodes of the tree-structures represent asset data and the leaves of the tree-structures represent performance data of the one or more buildings. The performance data may be represented in each case by data points. The data points may include time series of measured or derived field values and meta information.

Abstract: A computer-facilitated method and a computerized system for providing optimization or improvement measures for one or more buildings are disclosed. Based on asset data regarding the building and on corresponding performance data, improvement measures related to a consumable resource in the one or more buildings are determined using a computer system configured for analyzing the asset data and the respective corresponding performance data based on internal and/or external key performance indicators and rules provided by a database.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-switchable polymer film assembly having a first and a second surface side, comprising at least one pair of electrodes (3, 4) and a polymer matrix (2), wherein structuring particles (5) can be embedded in the polymer matrix and the polymer matrix or the structuring particles consist of an electro-active polymer, wherein furthermore, the first and/or the second surface sides can be transferred from a plane condition into a structured condition by electric switching of the electro-active polymer.

Abstract: A multi-level patient information delivery system and data collection application. More specifically, an enhanced patient communication and data collection system that functions for pre-, peri-, and post-operative settings. One component of the system is a modified patient portal designed to guide patients through specific surgical experiences by giving access to time-relevant and needs-specific information as the patient moves from pre-operative assessment through post-operative recovery. A second component of the system is a database collection and analysis program for the doctor, surgeon, or other attending physician.

Abstract: An ice protection system for a vehicle is disclosed which includes a plurality of de-ice power distribution units positioned proximate to a leading edge surface of the vehicle that is susceptible to ice accretion, at least two anti-ice power distribution units located within the vehicle, spaced from the de-ice power distribution units, and a point of power regulation located within the vehicle, spaced from the power distribution units, from which power is fed to the power distribution units through independent feeder wire bundles so as to distribute line current across the system in a manner that optimizes wire weight.

Abstract: A modular system for, especially, dry basin fountain installations includes a housing having a water supply inlet, a drain outlet, an electrical supply inlet and electrical junction box, for removable and interchangeable installation of a variety of individual or multiple fountain components within each housing, including water jet assemblies, lighting assemblies, and audio speakers, for supplying water to and draining water from each housing to a water reservoir, and for controlling the operation of each fountain component. Water supply lines, drain lines, and electrical lines may be routed between all housings and a water reservoir and an electrical supply center, so that fountain components may be installed, removed, and exchanged without disturbing the surface in which the fountain is installed.
