International Classification:

H04J 14/00

US Classification:

398 45, 398 50, 398 51, 398 54, 398 56

Abstract:

A hierarchical and distributed control architecture for managing an optical communications network. The architecture includes a line card manager level for managing individual line cards in an optical switch, a node manager level for managing multiple line cards in an optical switch/node, and a network management system level for managing multiple optical switches/nodes in a network. An event manager at the node manager level enables software components that are running at the node manager to register for and receive events, and to post events. The events may be triggered, e. g. , by a change in a status of the switch, or an alarm condition. Control architecture functionalities include signaling, routing, protection switching and network management. Furthermore, the network management function includes a topology manager, a performance manager, a connection manager, a fault detection manager, and a configuration manager.

International Classification:

G01J 3/30

US Classification:

356317, 2504591

Abstract:

Bones, bone fragments, and shell fragments on or near the surface of processed animal flesh may be detected by detecting their fluorescent emissions. The surface of the flesh is illuminated with UV or visible light to elicit fluorescence of animal bones or shells, and the fluorescent light emissions are measured at first and second different wavelengths, which wavelengths are selected to yield a substantial difference between the ratio or subtractive difference for bones or shells and the ratio or subtractive difference for animal flesh. The ratio and/or subtractive difference of the fluorescent light emissions at the first and second wavelengths is calculated, and the presence of bone, bone fragment, or shell fragment is determined therefrom.

US Classification:

709224, 709223, 370242, 370338, 34053922, 3405391, 340298, 340552, 342463, 342464

Abstract:

Under the present invention, a wireless sensor network comprising a plurality of peer to peer nodes is provided. Each node in the network includes, among other things, a sensor for detecting environmental factors. When a potential failure is detected within a node, the node will query its neighboring nodes to determine whether they have the capability to store any data component(s) currently stored within the potentially failing node. Based on the querying, the data component(s) in the potentially failing node are copied to one or more of the neighboring nodes. Thereafter, details of the copying can be broadcast to other nodes in the network, and any routing tables that identify the locations of data components stored throughout the wireless sensor network can be updated.

US Classification:

709208, 709223, 709224, 709226

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method, system and program product for deploying and allocating resources, and addressing threats in an autonomic sensor network ecosystem. Specifically, under the present invention, the autonomic sensor network ecosystem includes a set (e. g. , one or more) of sensor networks each having a set of sensor peers and at least one super peer; a set of micro grid gateways; and a set of enterprise gateways. Each micro grid gateway is typically adapted to receive requests from a sensor network, an enterprise gateway, and/or another micro grid gateway. Moreover, each micro grid gateway includes a request broker for receiving the requests; a request queue manager for queuing the requests; a scheduler for scheduling the requests; and a resource manager for monitoring the set of sensor networks.

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348143, 348 89

Abstract:

The hand-held inspection tool enhances the ability of an on-site inspector to detect and communicate the presence of contamination on an object or in an area. An on-site inspector directs an excitation light in the sensing head of the tool into an area of interest. If the targeted contamination is present, the excitation light causes the contamination to emit fluorescence. The emitted fluorescent light passes through a narrow spectral band-pass video camera filter and is detected by a video camera mounted in the tool sensing head. The video camera transmits the image to a display visible to the on-site inspector. The invention also includes a means of recording, documenting, and wirelessly communicating the inspection process so that remotely located personnel can view the inspection, and respond to the inspection findings in real time.

International Classification:

A61H007/00

US Classification:

601134000, 601136000, 601138000

Abstract:

A track comprising seven connected sections forming a loop and an entry section leading into the first of the seven sections. The first section connects to the second section, which connects to the third section, which connects to the fourth section, which connects back to the first section. The fifth, sixth, and seventh sections all are placed between the third and first sections. The third and fifth sections are filled with an identical material of a predetermined size, and each of the first, second, fourth, sixth, and seventh sections are filled with a corresponding material of different size than the material contained in the other sections. In use of this track, a beginning person first walks through the entry path and onto the first section. Then the person walks through the first, second, third, and fourth sections repeatedly for a predetermined period of time depending on the length of the track. With progress, the person then walks laps substituting the fourth section instead with the fifth section. With additional progress, the person walks laps substituting the fifth section with the sixth section. And finally, with final progress, the person walks laps substituting the sixth section with the seventh section.
