Abstract: An apiary accessory to protect an apiary entrance from rain, flooding, excessive heat, wind, and other elements and debris. The awning device has rectangular planar sheet with lateral or transverse and longitudinal edges. The awning device is secured to front surface of the apiary using a securing sheet that is fastened thereto using mechanical fasteners. During use, the awning device extends over the entrance of the apiary to protect the same and may further comprise one or more sensors for sensing conditions related to the apiary.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and processes for testing capacitors are disclosed. A system includes a digital signal processor configured to execute non-transient computer executable instructions for testing a device over at least three operating modes. The operating modes may include a start-up mode, during which the digital signal processor is configured to control initial charging of the device to a desired initial condition, a charge mode, during which the digital signal processor is configured to control replenishment of electrical energy in the device, and a test mode, during which the digital signal processor is configured to control testing of the device in accordance with at least one testing protocol. The device may include an energy capture circuit configured to capture recovered energy arising during a first test cycle and to provide the recovered energy to the device for use during a second test cycle.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a plurality of automated monitoring and control system modules (automated monitoring and control system module) are individually connected to respective receiving devices via the audio and video output ports of each respective receiving device. Each automated monitoring and control system module may be configured to receive a testing program from a centralized monitoring system for the receiving device based on identification data of the receiving device and execute the received testing program for the receiving device. Each automated monitoring and control system module is connected to the centralized monitoring system over a local area network (LAN) or the Internet in order to send testing results, diagnostic data and captured video and audio data for further processing by the centralized monitoring system.

Abstract: The subject invention called “The Convertible Hair Dryer Caddie is a wall mounted caddie used to support a portable hair dryer and it's accessories. The caddie is designed to turn the standard hair dryer into a wall mounted hand dryer. The caddie has an electrical cord that plugs into the standard wall socket and has a socket built into the caddie where the hair dryer is plugged. Once the hair dryer is plugged into the caddie and the caddie is plugged into the wall socket, a laser mounted at the base of the caddie is activated and is used to turn the hair dryer into a hand dryer.

Abstract: Semi-autonomously executed routines accomplish the primary functions of electrosurgical energy delivery on a responsive basis for power control purposes and to adapt the delivered output waveform to perform new and better surgical procedures. The routines include and output voltage and output current sampling routine, a control routine for establishing the width of drive pulses used to create the output waveform, a pattern generation routine for establishing the pattern of drive pulses to be delivered in one mode cycle established by a selected mode of operation, a pattern delivery routine for repeatedly delivering sequences of the mode cycle pattern of drive pulses, and a power supply control routine for varying the voltage of the drive pulses in coordination with varying the width of the drive pulses.
