Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and media bearing instructions for matching movements of objects are described. In one example, the method can include determining a position of a first point in a first coordinate system, converting the position of the first point from the first coordinate system to a second coordinate system, performing a transformation on a second point in the second coordinate system, wherein the second point is initialized to a starting position in the second coordinate system, determining an ending position of the second point in the second coordinate system based on the transformation, converting the ending position of the second point in the second coordinate system to the first coordinate system, and associating the ending position of the second point in the first coordinate system to the first point in the first coordinate system, wherein the associating causes a transformation of the first point to match the transformation performed on the second point.

Abstract: A wireless wind-powered anemometer comprising: a wind reacting device; a rotatable shaft in communication with the wind reacting device; an ac generator in communication with the rotatable shaft, and where the ac generator is configured to produce an ac voltage that is generally directly proportional to wind speed detected by the wind reacting devices; a signal conditioning and transmitter circuit in communication with the ac generator; and where the signal conditioning and transmitter circuit is configurable to communicate with a wireless network, and where the signal conditioning and transmitter circuit is supplied with power from the ac generator.

Abstract: A high voltage electrical connection includes an electrical receptacle connector and a mating electrical plug connector. The electrical receptacle connector includes a receptacle that is mounted over a hole in the casing and fastened thereto with a plurality of terminated electrical leads that are attached to an internal component of an electrical device inside the casing and threaded through a hole in the casing. The receptacle has a chamber including an inlet at one end that is aligned with the hole in casing and an outlet at the other end. The electrical receptacle connector also includes a terminal holder and a terminal housing, both of which are made of electrical insulation material. The holder retains the plurality of terminals, of the respective leads is inserted into the chamber through the outlet of the receptacle and retained in the chamber. The terminal housing is then inserted into the chamber via the outlet with its flange being disposed in the outlet.

Abstract: A vent cap is provided for releasing gas from containers, while preventing spillage of the contents therein when the container is tipped from a vertical position. The vent cap has a ball bearing mounted in a ball bearing containment chamber on the top thereof which, when the container is in an upright vertical position, allows release of gases from the container but, when the container is tipped, allows a piston disposed within the vent cap to close off gas release ducts formed in the vent cap, thus effectively preventing spillage of the containers contents.
