Abstract: A telecommunications (telecom) system includes cellular transceivers, a core network, and at least one streetlight-mountable telecom support unit providing communications connectivity between the cellular transceivers and the core network. The cellular transceivers may be mounted to other streetlights. The telecom support unit includes a housing mountable to streetlight, a powerline interface, and a communication interface. The powerline interface is integrated or configured though a boundary structure of the housing and connectable to a complementary powerline interface of the streetlight. The communication interface provides communicative coupling to one or more of the remote cellular transceivers and may be configured through a second boundary structure of the housing. The telecom support unit may also include a clamp configured to enable mechanical coupling of the housing to a support structure of the streetlight.

Abstract: A wireless communication node employs a method for configuring its donor and service antennas at or after node installation. The antennas are positioned in a predetermined arrangement about a central axis. The node includes the antennas, an actuator, one or more processors, and a memory storing processor-executable instructions for the processor(s). Responsive to the stored instructions, the processor processes wireless signals received by the donor antenna and communicates control signals to the actuator to rotate the donor and service antennas as a group about the central axis. Rotation may be incremental based on whether the donor antenna received an acceptable base station signal at a previous angular displacement increment or may be comprehensive to permit receipt of candidate base station data for a predetermined amount of rotation. After an acceptable base station is identified, the donor antenna's beam pattern may be formed in a direction of the identified base station.

Abstract: A bird feeder support pole that is configured to selectively elevate and lower a crossbeam assembly supporting one or more bird feeders. The support pole eliminates the need to climb ladders or other objects to replenish the feeder with a bird feed. The crossbeam assembly is mounted with a trolley assembly that is movable along a length of the support pole via an elevating mechanism.

Abstract: A telecommunications (telecom) system includes remote radio head devices, a core network, and at least one telecom support unit providing communications connectivity between the remote radio head devices and the core network. The telecom support unit includes a housing, a clamp mechanically coupling the housing to a support structure for a streetlight, a powerline interface, and a high-bandwidth communication medium. The powerline interface is integrated or configured though a first wall of the housing and electromechanically coupled to a luminaire of the streetlight so as to receive utility power from the luminaire. The high-bandwidth communication medium interface is integrated or configured through a second wall of the housing and communicatively coupled to the remote radio head devices. The remote radio head devices may be mounted to one or more other streetlights. The telecom support unit may operate as a baseband device and/or a cellular data repeater device.

Abstract: A tongue jack includes a tongue jack head and an accessory hook coupled with the tongue jack head. The accessory hook is suited for supporting chains and electrical cords typically associated with the connection between a trailer and a tow vehicle.

Abstract: Blade load path on a gas turbine disk can be diverted to provide a significant disk fatigue life benefit. A plurality of gas turbine blades are attachable to a gas turbine disk, where each of the gas turbine blades includes a blade dovetail engageable in a correspondingly-shaped dovetail slot in the gas turbine disk. In order to reduce gas turbine disk stress, an optimal material removal area is defined according to blade and/or disk geometry to maximize a balance between stress reduction on the gas turbine disk, a useful life of the gas turbine blade, and maintaining or improving the aeromechanical behavior of the gas turbine blade. Removing material from the material removal area effects the maximized balance.

Abstract: A hard disk drive includes a flash memory and a rotatable disk. During self-test, self-test data is written first to flash and then later written to the rotatable disk. Since the self-test data is stored in the flash, if there is a power failure the hard disk drive can recover without repeating the test.

Abstract: A method of coordinating access to a data buffer including a plurality of data blocks, using a buffer list with a plurality of entries corresponding to the data blocks. Each buffer list entry includes: (i) a status code for indicating the status of data in the corresponding data block, and (ii) a partial address common to both the next buffer list entry and a data block corresponding to said next buffer list entry. A status code is selected from a cyclical set of sequential status codes having a period of N, the status codes sequentially, and alternately, representing the most recent history of a data block, including: (i) full status, indicating data in the data block has been retrieved from the storage device or is to be stored to the storage device, or (ii) empty status, indicating data transferred out of the data block to a host or to the storage device. A store flag maintains a status code representing empty status, and a retrieve flag maintains a status code representing full status.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of embedding separated elements in a molded member wherein at least one side of the separated elements is covered by the molded member. The separated elements are interconnected by links to form a unitary member, which is disposed in a mold cavity formed by first and second mold plates. A support pin positioned on a first side of the unitary member supports the unitary member while a punch pin is extended toward a second side of the unitary member and through the link interconnecting the elements so as to sever the link. At least one of the punch pins or the support pins is retracted away from at least one side of the separated elements before injecting a molten material into the cavity so as to form the molded member.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for determining deferred and immediate annuity contract living contingent and supporting component funding and related data representing tangible annuity contract values across the life period of a potential or existing annuity contract. The system is comprised of at least a terminal, data storage and a programmed processor. The system provides for the physical transformation of annuity contract purchase value data representing tangible purchase values into annuity contract living contingent and supporting component funding and related data representing tangible deferred and immediate annuity contract values at one or more selected dates during the life period. The system also determines the eligibility for withdrawal of withdrawal values and transacts the payment of such withdrawal values.
