International Classification:

H01H 35/36

US Classification:

200 85R, 200 5 A, 482 38, 463 4

Abstract:

A platform of the type holding a plurality of normally-open electric switches in position for activation of a selected individual switch by application of a force in a direction normal to a surface of the switch by a portion of a human body. An exemplary platform according to the invention forms a dance platform on which a user steps to activate switches in accordance with instructions viewed on a video display device. A joining structure may by used to hold two platforms in a side-by-side competition arrangement. A security vault may be affixed to structure associated with platform to resist theft of a commercially available game controller adapted to operate the video display and to receive switch input from a platform. Certain aspects of the invention include one or more, typically inert, practice platforms structured to represent the user interface surface of an activatable platform. A method for using a system of active and inert platforms is also disclosed.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 40, 705 36, 705 38, 700 99

Abstract:

A method of operating a computer system includes storing attributes of a buying organization, vendors, invoices and/or line-item details from invoices in one or more databases. Rules are established for selecting settlement options for the invoices. The rules are applied such that the computer system selects a first one of the settlement options to settle a first one of the invoices rendered by one of the vendors, and the computer system selects a second one of the settlement options to settle a second one of the invoices rendered by that vendor.

F24F 11/84

Abstract:

Embodiments herein relate to monitoring systems that can learn patterns of filtration system operation and then use the learned patterns to monitor ongoing filtration system operation/performance. In a first aspect, a monitoring system for an air filtration system is included having a control circuit, and a pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is in electronic communication with the control circuit. The monitoring system can be configured to store data reflecting signals of the pressure sensor, evaluate the stored data representing a first time period to derive a valve operating pattern, and compare data from the pressure sensor obtained after the first time period against the derived valve operating pattern to identify an abnormal valve event.
