Abstract: A power flow control system is disclosed. The system includes impedance injection modules (IIMs) distributed along and connected in series to one or more power transmission lines. The system further includes dual-ring fiber optic networks, with each dual-ring fiber optic network including a pair of fiber rings that provide data flow in opposite directions. The system further includes redundant power line coordinators in communication with the IIMs through the dual-ring fiber optic networks.

Abstract: Intelligent impedance injection modules (IIM)s are currently being used for line balancing and overcoming local disturbances on High Voltage (HV) transmission lines of an HV power grid. These distributed IIMs are connected and/or coupled to the HV transmission lines and operate with a pseudo ground at the voltage of the HV transmission line. In order to operate effectively, the IIMs need to communicate with other distributed IIMs across the three phases of the HV grid and also communicate with local intelligent centers LINCs that connect to and synchronize operations across each group of the distributed IIMs in a local region of the HV power grid. Systems and methods are presented for effective and secure sub-cyclic speed communication to and from the distributed IIMs, distributed IIMs to LINCs and substations to enable coordinated actions. Further the distributed IIMs and LINCs receive GPS signals and use the GPS clock for synchronizing operations.

Abstract: An impedance injection unit (IIU) system is coupled to a high-voltage (HV) transmission line. The IIUs are activated in sequences of activation in successive time periods. This injects an impedance waveform onto the HV transmission line. The ordering of IIUs in the sequences of activation is repeatedly changed in successive time periods. This equalizes electrical stress across the IIUs used, leading to overall improvement in IIU system lifetimes.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed towards collecting and recording sensor data pertaining to physical contact experienced by players in a contact sport (e.g., football). The data can be collected and recorded through the use of one or more sensors worn by the player. In some cases, the sensor data can be associated with in-game video recordings of physical contact experienced by the players. Information about the physical contact can be displayed for users to view via a graphical user interface. Warnings may also be provided.

Abstract: Mobile computing device technology and systems and methods using the same are described herein. In particular, mobile computing devices that may serve as a processing component of a disaggregated computing system described, non-integral screens that may be paired with the mobile computing devices, and systems and methods using such devices and screens are described. In some embodiments, the mobile computing device technology includes a mobile computing device that lacks an integral screen, but which is capable of throwing at least video information to a non-integral target screen, e.g., via a paired connection established over a wired or wireless communication interface.

Abstract: A new device is deployed to an area in which a network is provided. The new device may join the network using a single handshake via a neighboring device that is a member of the network and register with a network management system managing the network. If the network is overloaded or has limited bandwidth remaining, the network may refuse to admit the new device, or if the new device is isolated, may force some devices that are members of the network to leave or migrate from the network to allow the isolated device to join the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying information about an entity through Web site software. The entity may be a business or service. Information about the entity can be determined by processing attributes known about the entity, such as a name, service or other keywords. For example, user comes to the site, selects their desired state, city, and category. At that point the user clicks the “Search” button and is directed to a second page where they find a list of listing results. The user selects the desired listing and is then directed to a third page. This page is a full-page advertisement for the one business selected from the search results. A database of Web sites associated with categories is created by businesses adding their own business to the database.
