Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for verifying location information provided from a monitoring device to a central monitoring station, and more particularly to systems and methods for using context to verify location information from a monitoring device.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for validating imaging of a monitored individual.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for using prior location information in a tracking device for reporting when no significant movement is indicated.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for locating a tracking device involving selective use of non-associated devices.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for using prior location information in a first monitor device for reporting when no significant movement is indicated by a second monitor device.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for selecting one of a number of location determination services supported by a monitoring system. The monitoring system may include a user attached monitor device configured to support a first subset of the location determination services and a user detached monitor device configured to support a second subset of the location determination services. In other cases, the monitoring system may include only a user attached monitor device or a user detached monitor device.

Abstract: A bicycle handlebar assembly having a stem portion constructed to engage a stem tube that is rotationally supported by a frame and a handlebar that is co-molded to the stem portion. Preferably, the stem portion and the handlebar are constructed to dissimilar materials. More preferably, the stem portion is constructed to a metal-type material and the handlebar is constructed of a carbon-fiber material. The stem portion and the handlebar are constructed such that the handlebar engages the stem portion and is secured thereto during formation of the handlebar assembly by co-molding. Such a construction provides a bicycle handlebar assembly that is lightweight, robust, and can be efficiently produced.

Abstract: A method is described for improving resistance to chemical attack by aluminum or magnesium in refractory components. In one method, a slurry is formed comprising calcium silicate-containing refractory material and a barium-containing compound. This slurry is placed in a mould, then dewatered to form a component which is hydrothermally processed to form a final component. In a second procedure, a silica-containing porous refractory component is impregnated with an aqueous solution of an oxide or hydroxide of barium or strontium and thereafter dried in air.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the casting of a composite metal ingot comprising at least two separately formed layers of one or more alloys. An open ended annular mould has a feed end and an exit end and divider wall for dividing the feed end into at least two separate feed chambers, where each feed chamber is adjacent at least one other feed chamber. For each pair of adjacent feed chambers a first alloy stream is fed through one of the pair of feed chambers into the mould and a second alloy stream is fed through another of the feed chambers.
