    摘要: Electrical power is generated from falling liquids such as captured rain water, gray water and black water in tall buildings using two or more reservoirs. Fill valves for each of the reservoirs are controlled to fill the first reservoir in a raised position while emptying the second reservoir in a lowered position. When full, the first reservoir is dropped to the lowered position while imparting mechanical energy to an electrical generator and while raising the second reservoir. Next, the second reservoir is filled until full while the first reservoir is emptied, followed by dropping the second reservoir to the lowered position while imparting mechanical energy to the electrical generator and while raising the first reservoir. The cycle is repeated so that electrical generation from the falling of the liquid avoids the liquid contacting or passing through a turbine or impeller.

    摘要: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing data. A plurality of devices dynamically capture data associated with the daily activities of a person. The data is transmitted to a mobile device associated with the person. The data is processed and then stored into a cache of the mobile device. The data stored in the cache of the mobile device is uploaded into a repository mass store in response to interfacing the mobile device with the repository mass store. A selected data segment stored in the repository mass store is presented in response to receiving a request for the selected data segment.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling the playback of video recorded by a sensing subsystem of a digital life recorder. The process identifies a selected video feed recorded by a camera of a sensing subsystem responsive to receiving user input. A segment of video from the selected video feed is identified using a personal computing device communicating with a digital life recorder. The digital life recorder records the selected video feed. A playback restriction associated with the segment of video is identified and generates a set of commands for restricting playback of the segment of video. A processor may then execute the set of commands.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for updating a face glossary repository with face glossary data. The process identifies a source of the face glossary data in response to detecting an acquisition condition. The source may comprise a raw data queue, a first glossary from a peer digital life recorder, or a second glossary from a remote repository. The process retrieves the face glossary data from the source and stores the face glossary data from the source into the face glossary repository. The face glossary repository may include a face glossary cache and a face glossary database.

    摘要: A drill core tray (100) comprises a sheet metal base plate (104) shaped to form a number of elongated recesses (114). The recesses (114) are separated by dividers (112) comprising inclined lower sides (120) leading into upstanding side Walls (122) which join to form an apex (124) which is located above the horizontal diameter of a core received in the recess. A core lifter (200) is used with the tray (100). It has arms (204) constituting a hemi-cylindrical body and terminating in an open mouth (208) opposite which is a channel (210). The lifter (200) includes a pair of handles (214). The mouth (208) can pass over a core (102) in a recess (114) and by rotating the lifter (200) the arms (204) pass under the core (102). On further rotation, the channel (210) engages an apex (124) about which the lifter (200) can pivot to lift the core (102) out of the tray (100).

    摘要: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product controlling a capture of data. In one embodiment, the process identifies a location from locale identifier data to form an identified location in response to receiving the locale identifier data. The locale identifier data is associated with a location of the digital life recorder. In addition, the identified location is associated with a set of usage policies. The process then determines whether the set of usage policies restricts the capture of data by the digital life recorder at the identified location or whether the set of usage policies restricts playback of the data by a playback system. Thereafter, the process disables a set of sensors while the digital life recorder is in the presence of the locale identifier in response to determining that the set of usage policies restricts the capture of data.

    摘要: Use of and performance of ostomy appliances are enhanced by providing one or more sensors to an ostomy pouch; collecting sensor data by sensors to form a history of events impinging on the ostomy pouch and conditions of the pouch over time; comparing the sensor data to historical sensor data for a similar ostomy pouch to predict a reduction in nominal wear time; and notifying a user of the predicted reduction in nominal wear time.
