A system for hazard mitigation in a structure including a subsystem coupled to a circuit of an electrical distribution system and set of nodes. The nodes monitor operating conditions of the circuit and generate data in response. A data processing system is operable to process the data generated by the set of nodes and in response identify a trigger representing a condition requiring that an action be taken. The data processing system processes the trigger in accordance with a predetermined policy to initiate an action by the subsystem.

A method and system for computer aided design (CAD) is disclosed for designing geometric objects. The present invention interpolates and / or blends between such geometric objects sufficiently fast so that real time deformation of such objects occurs while deformation data is being input. Thus, a user designing with the present invention obtains immediate feedback to input modifications without separately entering a command for performing such deformations. The present invention utilizes novel computational techniques for blending between geometric objects, wherein weighted sums of points on the geometric objects are used in deriving a new blended geometric object. The present invention is particularly useful for designing the shape of surfaces. Thus, the present invention is applicable to various design domains such as the design of, e.g., bottles, vehicles, and watercraft. Additionally, the present invention provides for efficient animation via repeatedly modifying surfaces of an animated object such as a representation of a face.

A support and enclosure structure for fluorescent light bulbs includes an elongated, hollow tube having opposite ends, an outer wall and an inner volume, and at least one ventilation opening extending through the outer wall for permitting air flow between the inner volume of the tube and the surrounding environment for cooling of the fluorescent light bulb held there within. End caps are mounted on opposite ends of the tube, the end caps adapted to engage opposite ends of the fluorescent light bulb and support the fluorescent light bulb within the inner volume of the tube free of contact with the outer wall of the tube. Finally, the tube is constructed of a generally rigid, at least partially translucent materials, such that light emitted by the fluorescent light bulb held within the tube generally radiates through the outer wall of the tube into the surrounding environment.

A method of delivering a drug or other compound to the lens of the eye. A conduit through which a drug is introduced penetrates at least the outer lens capsule for drug delivery. When withdrawn, the aperture is self-sealing, thus minimizing trauma and minimizing the risk of cataract formation. The drug remains localized within the lens.

A management system for a battery cell pack, the management system including a controller determining an adjustable charge profile for the battery cell pack wherein the adjustable charge profile includes an operational parameter identifying a next operation drive range mode from a set of drive range modes for the battery cell pack wherein each the drive range mode includes a state of charge (SOC) window between a charge SOC and a discharge SOC, with the set of drive range modes including a first drive range mode having a first SOC window and including a second drive range mode having a second SOC window less than the first SOC window; and one or more energy transfer stages to produce the charge SOC of the next operation drive range mode in the battery cell pack.

A method and system for computer aided design (CAD) is disclosed for designing geometric objects, wherein interpolation and / or blending between such objects is performed while deformation data is being input. Thus, a designer obtains immediate feedback to input modifications without separately entering a command(s) for performing such deformations. A novel N-sided surface generation technique is also disclosed herein to efficiently and accurately convert surfaces of high polynomial degree into a collection of lower degree surfaces. E.g., the N-sided surface generation technique disclosed herein subdivides parameter space objects (e.g., polygons) of seven or more sides into a collection of subpolygons, wherein each subpolygon has a reduced number of sides. More particularly, each subpolygon has 3 or 4 sides. The present disclosure is particularly useful for designing the shape of surfaces. Thus, the present disclosure is applicable to various design domains such as the design of, e.g., bottles, vehicles, and watercraft. Additionally, the present disclosure provides for efficient animation via repeatedly modifying surfaces of an animated object such as a representation of a face.

Laundry detergent compositions containing from about 6% to about 35% of a surfactant component; wherein the surfactant component comprises: from about 0.5 to about 15%, by weight of the composition, of an MES blend having an average level of disalt of from about 8% to about 50%, wherein said MES blend comprises C16 MES; and wherein a ratio of C16 MES to surfactant component is less than about 0.3.
