Abstract: For each retailer in the geographic region, an online system predicts a number of orders placed at the retailer and a capacity to fulfill orders during a forecast time period. The capacity of the retailer is predicted based on a number of pickers expected to be available to the retailer during the forecast time period. The online system determines demand for the services of a picker at the retailer based on a comparison of the predicted number of orders and the predicted capacity to fulfill those orders. The online system displays a user interactive map of the geographic region to the picker. The map displays a pin at the location of each retailer in the geographic region, which describes the categorization determined for the retailer. The picker selects a pin, which causes the user interactive map to display a notification characterizing the demand for services at the retailer.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting vacuum loss in a vacuum interrupter are disclosed. For example, a sensing system of a vacuum interrupter includes a sensor including a material that oxidizes in the presence of air and is at least partially positioned in an evacuated space of a vacuum interrupter, the sensor being configured to produce an indication of impedance of the material; and a control system coupled to the sensor, the control system including an electronic processor and an electronic storage that stores instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic processor to access an indication of impedance produced by the sensor, determine a measure of impedance of the material of the sensor based on the accessed indication of impedance, and determine a condition of the evacuated space based on the determined measure of impedance.

Abstract: An optical fibre connector system, including an optical connector disposed therein, and a recess allowing a through connector to be connected to the optical connector. The optical fiber connector system includes an engagement mechanism that acts on the optical connector to prevent release of the through connector when connected to the optical connector, and which is operable to enable release of the through connector. The engagement mechanism is a movable element that normally engages the connector to the support and which can be moved to disengage the connector from the support, thereby releasing the through connector.

Abstract: A system to position at least one vessel or object in an aquatic environment including: each vessel or object having a receiver connected thereto; and at least two transmitters; wherein each transmitter transmits a unique signal and the receiver on each vessel or object receives each unique signal and a calculation means determines the position of the vessel or object based on the received signals.

Abstract: A surge arrester protection system includes a surge arrester, a first mechanism fixed on a first end of the surge arrester for directing arcs around the surge arrester and a second mechanism fixed on a second end of the surge arrester for directing arcs around the surge arrester. The first and second mechanisms each include a plurality of slots extending substantially radially therein. Additionally, a cap which covers a lower end of the arrester is used to catch material dripping from the surge arrester and a cap covering an upper end of the arrester is used to protect the arrester from animals and the elements.
