Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are devices, systems, and machine readable mediums for establishing peer to peer mobile wallet communications (P2PMW) over short range wireless communication networks. These P2PMW communications allow exchange of information between two wallet clients. Example communications include payments, providing identification, providing loans, and the like. The use of P2PMW communications opens up the prospect of anyone accepting payment from anybody else at any time. All that is needed is a computing device with a mobile wallet. Example short range wireless communications include Wireless LANs (WLAN) such as WIFI (e.g., communicating according to an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 family of standards), BLUETOOTH® or the like.

Abstract: A haptic communication device and system of remote haptic communication is provided. The haptic communication device may be in the form of a plush toy. The haptic communication device contains a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a pressure sensor potted within a mass of pressure transmitting material and electrically connected to a circuit board. The circuit board may also be electrically connected to other components, such as a microprocessor and a Wi-Fi component. The communication apparatus is capable of accurately detecting a compression force from a first user and is capable of transmitting signals indicating compression to a server over a communication network. A second haptic communication device may receive signals from the server indicating that a first haptic communication device was compressed. The second haptic communication device may then effectuate a haptic response, felt by a second user of the second haptic communication device.

Abstract: A low fault current isolation arrangement senses a loss of voltage and automatically isolates and de-energizes a down live primary wire if overcurrent protection devices have not cleared the high impedance fault in an electric power distribution network. Incorporating an operator selectable time delay response, the low fault current isolation arrangement permits overcurrent protection devices to attempt to detect and shut down the affected conductor, and then isolates and shuts down the low current fault if the overcurrent devices are not successful. The isolation arrangement continuously monitors AC voltage as remotely provided by smart meters even after a fault location is de-energized, and serves as a back up, and not as a replacement, for existing overcurrent protection schemes. A host computer operates in conjunction with plural smart meters each coupled to an associated customer distribution transformer in conjunction with the fault isolator to detect and shut down high impedance faults.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pressure relievable tank comprising a cylinder, a pressure relief valve having a housing with an upper end, a lower end and a sidewall disposed therebetween, a flange connected the upper end of the housing, and a bottom having a central aperture and an upwardly facing rim surrounding the central aperture. The bottom is connected to the lower end of the housing and the bottom and sidewall form a cavity. A retainer is fixed in the upper end of the housing, a seal is disposed in the lower end of the housing, and a spring is compressed between the retainer and the seal for holding the seal against the upwardly facing rim. A projection weld welds the flange to the cylinder.
