The invention is a method and system for continuously tracking the movement of cargo in domestic and international shipping from point of departure to point of destination and to prevent hijacking of the same. The system uses one or more wireless electronic seals which can communicate with a central computer system, such as by satellite, providing the current location of the cargo at regular intervals or upon demand. The electronic seals are provided with a unique identification number and are activated upon locking of the seal to the closed cargo container. During shipment, the seal transmits its location to the central computer which compares the location of the shipment to a calculated expected route, notifying the parties to the shipment and government authorities in the event that the cargo is found to deviate from the expected route. The electronic seal is also capable of signaling the central computer when the cargo is opened. If the opening is premature, a second seal hidden within the cargo can be activated to enable tracking of the cargo which may be removed from the container. The system also provides a consolidated, verifiable record of the shipping history of a shipment which can facilitate government clearance and inspections of potentially dangerously handled cargo.

A hand held spectrometer is used to illuminate the object and measure the one or more spectra. The spectral data of the object can be used to determine one or more attributes of the object. In many embodiments, the spectrometer is coupled to a database of spectral information that can be used to determine the attributes of the object. The spectrometer system may comprise a hand held communication device coupled to a spectrometer, in which the user can input and receive data related to the measured object with the hand held communication device. The embodiments disclosed herein allow many users to share object data with many people, in order to provide many people with actionable intelligence in response to spectral data.

A hybrid power architecture for lighting system that physically separates the conversion of AC-DC constant voltage power from the conversion of DC-DC constant current needed to drive the LEDs. The hybrid power architecture comprises a power converter to generate DC volt power, a battery backup unit for providing backup in the event of power failure and control architecture for controlling the intensity of the lighting system.

A handheld spectrometer can be configured with a visible aiming beam to allow the user to determine the measured region of the object. When the visible aiming beam comprises the spectrometer measurement beam, the spectrometer measurement beam comprises sufficient energy for the user to see the measurement beam illuminating the object. When the visible aiming beam comprises a separate beam, the visible aiming beam comprises sufficient energy for the user to see a portion of the aiming beam reflected from the object. The visible aiming beam and measurement beam can be arranged to at least partially overlap on the sample, such that the user has an indication of the area of the sample being measured.

Techniques and systems are provided for performing predictive random access using a background picture. For example, a method of decoding video data includes obtaining an encoded video bitstream comprising a plurality of pictures. The plurality of pictures include a plurality of predictive random access pictures. A predictive random access picture is at least partially encoded using inter-prediction based on at least one background picture. The method further includes determining, for a time instance of the video bitstream, a predictive random access picture of the plurality of predictive random access pictures with a time stamp closest in time to the time instance. The method further includes determining a background picture associated with the predictive random access picture, and decoding at least a portion of the predictive random access picture using inter-prediction based on the background picture.

The invention discloses a high-precision intelligent numerical control machine tool comprising a machine frame. The front side of the machine frame is fixedly connected with a guide rod in the mannerthat the guide rod penetrates the inner portion of a spindle box. The two ends of the spindle box are fixedly connected with cylinders correspondingly. A feed box is fixedly connected to the portions,close to the lower end of the spindle box, of the bottom ends of the cylinders. A regulation device is arranged at the bottom end of the feed box in an embedded manner. The two ends of a machine baseare fixedly connected with guide rails correspondingly. The top ends of the guide rails are connected with four rail wheels in a rectangular sliding manner. A working table is arranged on the inner sides of the rail wheels. A rail motor is fixedly installed at one end of the working table. The high-precision intelligent numerical control machine tool is provided with the rail motor, and the position of the working table can be automatically regulated; the guide rod is arranged, and the movement precision of the spindle box can be controlled; the regulation device is arranged, and parts can bemachined in different directions; a variable-speed gear set is arranged, and the rotating speed of a cutter can be regulated; and a spring button is arranged, and a tool bit can be conveniently replaced.

The invention provides a media file play system and method. The media file play system includes a user side and a server, thereinto, said user side includes a user behaviour pattern analysis part and a media file playing part, said user behaviour pattern analysis part analyzes the behaviour pattern of user to determine the media file fancy rules according to information of user using the media file, when the media file playing part is opened, it determines the media file in current circumstance according to the current circumstance and the media file fancy rules confirmed by the user behaviour pattern analysis part, and generates the media file providing request and sends it to the server, said server provides the corresponding media file and / or relative information of media file to the media file playing part of user end according to the request.

Intelligence and analytics may be improved by combining sets of disparate data records and matching records between entities. The matched records may then be analyzed by identifying relevant entities and providing information to a user containing the combined sets of secure data records and the analysis. The information may be customized for the user after identifying the user accessing the interface. Additionally, rules may be applied to the analyzed data to enhance the data when viewed by the user.

A circuit breaker includes a control circuit capable of generating and transmitting a test pulse through its attached circuit and any connected load while its contacts are open, with the breaker in the OFF, or TRIPPED, state, to determine if detrimental anomalies exist, such as a short circuit. In certain configurations, the control circuit can measure and store a circuit's parameters for a properly operating load when the breaker is in the OFF state, and subsequently with the breaker in the OFF, or TRIPPED, state, compare the stored parameters to determine if an alarm condition exists and thereby initiate appropriate alerts and actions. In an alternate configuration, the breaker can be commanded to the OFF position by the load sending a signal through the power connection, with the breaker then being able to store the load's reason for shut-down and report such information to a remote location.
