A system and method for remote monitoring and control of landfill and recycling operations provide an intelligent centralized platform for remote, real-time industrial data gathering and process control for management of landfill and recycling operations such as leachate, gas, water and other liquids. The system and method can directly upload machine data (such as liquid volumes, flows, level, equipment runtime, sorter data, status, etc) into a centralized platform. This data can be used for analytics and automation of processes and equipment control.

The present invention provides a system and method for more efficient utilization of comminution mills. Sensors are provided in the liners placed within the mill shell. The sensors may include RFID tags, liner wear profile sensors (e.g., such as an ultrasonic sensor), an inertial sensor (preferably included both an inclinometer and an accelerometer, and an acoustic sensor, among others. When the liners are installed in the shell, the RFID tag is used to register the location of the liner within the shell. In operation, the information provided by the sensors is collected by a data transmission unit and sent by transmitter over the air to a computer having an antenna and receiver for such data. The data is correlated and the data is reviewable in real time while the mill is in running.

Per United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s long standing airworthiness regulation, Advisory Circular (AC), failures of all systems/components that are catastrophic must be “extremely improbable”. Advanced Flight Control Subsystem shall supplement current commercial passenger aircrafts' Flight Control Computers (FCC) to meet and exceed this requirement.

A glass substrate is laminated with a substrate containing silicon to thereby form a laminated substrate. The glass substrate has a concave surface and a convex surface and has one or more marks that distinguish between the concave surface and the convex surface.

A luminaire and network for use in assisting persons in a building comprising: at least one lighting module, at least one communications component, a controller, an uninterruptible power supply in or coupled to the luminaire to power the lighting module, communications component and/or controller in the absence of a regular (e.g. AC) power supply, wherein the controller: triggers the lighting module to illuminate upon an activation event, facilitates communication via the communications and/or facilitates positioning of persons (or their devices) using the communications component and/or other components.

An apparatus for burning in electronic components, which includes a plurality of assemblies placed in a holder, each assembly comprising a printed circuit board on which are placed sockets intended to receive electronic components and a burn-in driver. The holder is at room temperature, and each assembly comprises a single chamber that is regulated to a temperature T°>80° C., in which chamber at least four sockets are placed. The printed circuit board forming one wall of the chamber, the burn-in driver is soldered directly to the printed circuit board on the side exterior to the chamber, with a single burn-in driver per chamber, and the assembly furthermore comprises means for dissipating only the thermal energy of operation of the burn-in driver.

A highly secure optical key access control system utilizing unique optical refraction properties of non-duplicatable transparent objects to secure premises or computer databases is disclosed. The said access control system includes an optical key containing an optical element with unique refraction properties and an access module comprising a light source, an image catching array and an electronic processor. The optical element of the optical key is inserted into the access module between the light source and the image catching array at the initial and then several following prearranged positions and a resulting set of unique refraction images appearing on the surface of the image catching array is processed with the electronic processor for comparison against preauthorized sets of refraction images to grant or deny access to the protected premises or protected computer databases.
