Abstract: A crane return system is used for returning a crane component to a home position when there is a loss of power. A crane includes a bridge with a plurality of main wheels adapted to travel along at least one rail. The crane return system includes a plurality of auxiliary drive wheels supported by the bridge, the auxiliary drive wheels movable between a first position, in which the auxiliary drive wheels are recessed from the rail, and a second position, in which the auxiliary drive wheels are in contact with the rail. When power is supplied to the crane return system the auxiliary drive wheels are in the first position. A hydraulic fluid pressure vessel stores hydraulic fluid, wherein a substantially fixed mass of hydraulic fluid is contained within the crane return system, and a hydraulic cylinder is interconnected with the auxiliary drive wheels and selectively fluidly communicates with the hydraulic fluid pressure vessel. When power is lost to the crane, hydraulic fluid is supplied to the hydraulic cylinder to extend the hydraulic cylinder and thereby move the auxiliary drive wheels from the first position to the second position. A drive motor is interconnected with the auxiliary drive wheels and selectively fluidly communicates with the hydraulic fluid pressure vessel. When the auxiliary drive wheels are in the second position, hydraulic fluid is diverted from the hydraulic cylinder and supplied to the drive motor to rotate the auxiliary drive wheels and move the bridge toward a home position.

Abstract: A method and system for performing a copy operation between storage devices coupled to a Fiber Channel switch element is provided. The Fiber Channel switch element receives a user command to copy data from a source storage device to a destination storage device and controls the copying operation. The Fiber Channel switch acts as a SCSI initiator and initiates a write operation for the destination storage device and initiates a read operation for the source storage device; and uses an alias cache for intercepting messages between the destination and source storage devices. A RX_ID mapping cache is used to substitute a RX_ID so that that a Fiber Channel write target appears to the source storage device as the destination storage device, and to the destination storage device a Fiber Channel read target appears to be the source storage device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring drowsiness particularly in vehicle operators measures the amplitude to velocity ratio for eyelids closing and opening during blinking as well as measuring duration of opening and closing. The average values for the amplitude to velocity ratios for opening and closing are weighted and added to give a drowsiness measure that is compared to a scale of drowsiness based on data collected from alert and drowsy subjects. Other eye movements can be used in the weighted algorithm. The scale of drowsiness predicts the onset of drowsiness levels that render an operator unfit to continue.
