Abstract: A system including a graphite electrode having a graphite body with first and second opposed ends. The electrode further includes a threaded connector positioned at one of the first or second ends, and a tag coupled to or positioned in the threaded connector, wherein the tag is configured to transmit a signal including information relating to the electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a transmission remover and installer, for removing and installing transmissions, which comprises a plate defined by a top surface and bottom surface; a connecting means at a first end of the plate traversing through a hole in the plate, installed using a first securing means on the top surface and a second securing means on the bottom surface of the plate; a mounting means securing the top of the connecting means using a first protrusion located at the bottom of the mounting means; and a jack adapter coupled at the bottom surface at a second end of the plate. The mounting means has a first hole and a second hole configured to couple with a transmission after identifying a balance point of the transmission and the jack adapter has a coupling means enabling the jack adapter to be coupled with a jack after identifying a balance point.

Abstract: A system for facilitating access to audiovisual content in which a content obtaining unit is configured to obtain a content source (e.g., a computer-readable file containing audiovisual content of a conference, lecture, or entertainment program); a descriptor obtaining unit is configured to obtain one or more descriptors (e.g., topic and speaker taxonomies and attributes associated with the content); a conversion unit configured to convert content of the content source from a format less efficient for categorization (e.g., video with audio) to a format more efficient for categorization (e.g., a textual transcription of the audio and/or a textual description of the video); a categorization unit configured to categorize the converted content into at least two categories based on the one or more descriptors (e.g., into one or more topics, and/or one or more speakers); and a presentation unit configured to present a category selection interface (e.g.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for monitoring graphite electrodes for use in an electric arc furnace includes receiving an electrode identifiers from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reader configured to interrogate RFID tags in the vicinity of an electric arc furnace (EAF), wherein the RFID tags are attached to electrodes. The electrode identifier is associated with EAF data collected from the EAF and the association is stored in a memory. The association is used for generating current and past operating parameters of the electric arc furnace for specific electrodes. Data for each specific electrode used in the EAF can also be collected for determining performance parameters for specific electrodes.

Abstract: A method may include acquiring, via a capture system, a dataset associated with a user at a first location, detecting, via a control system, the user at a second location, displaying, via an environmental system, one or more images generated from the dataset at the second location in response to detecting the user at or past the second location, and triggering, via a special effect system, a special effect during the displaying at the second location in response to detecting the user at or past the second location. The dataset may include image data of the user.
