Improving your company culture should be a goal of every business owner. As an owner, you set the culture, that is, the way your company relates to your customers. That doesn't mean micromanaging your employees, but just the opposite. Mark Labourdette, owner of a San Francisco home remodeling firm, believes that business owners must have the courage and conviction to empower their employees to think for themselves, solve problems and share the solutions with other team members. I heard Labourdette speak at a trade show where he advocated a company culture in which employees behave like owners. "Sadly, few owners have any idea of how to go about making this happen," said Laburdette. "The first reaction I get from owners I speak with is, 'Oh yeah, we have that. I have great employees.' Yet further discussion often reveals symptoms of a culture that comes up short of empowerment."

Anew company, Lucidea Corporation (http://www.lucidea.com), has been formed through the re-orga?iza?io? of SydneyPLUS and its acquired companies. Lucidea brings together the products and services of SydneyPLUS, Inmagic, Cuadra Associates, Argus.net, LawPort, Lookup Precision, and Incite Software Solutions, all owned by Ron Aspe and previously operated as separate companies. These companies previously operated independently, though in close consultation with each other and taking advantage of shared administrative support. They will now combine into a single company under a unified executive management team, with Ron Aspe as the President and Chief Executive Officer and Phil Green as Chief Operating Officer. Green was previously CEO of Inmagic.

Patent number 11611210 is assigned to S&C Electric Company (Chicago, Illinois, United States).
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by
the inventors:
“Field
“The present disclosure relates generally to a control scheme for feeder switches on an electrical grid.
More particularly, it relates to a control method and system for a group of interconnected feeders, or sections
of the distribution grid, which enables fault location, isolation and service restoration without requiring
all switch devices to have topology knowledge of the full system. The method defines, for each switch,
information about its neighboring switches, and propagates this information throughout each feeder. A
leader device is also determined for each feeder. Information about adjacent feeders is not needed by all
devices. Switches which open during fault isolation automatically find open tie switches in a direction
opposite the fault, and request service restoration which will result in closing some of those open ties in
order to restore service downstream of the fault....

“The present disclosure relates generally to a control scheme for sectionalizing switches in an electrical
grid feeder. More particularly, it relates to a system and method enabling automated sectionalizing switches
equipped with only three-phase current sensing to isolate faults when upstream interrupter/reclosers are
testing for continued fault presence.
“Discussion of the Related Art
“An electrical power transmission/distribution network, often referred to as an electrical grid, typically
includes a number of power generation plants each including a number of power generator units, such as gas
turbine engines, nuclear reactors, coal-fired generators, hydro-electric dams, etc. The grid may also include
wind and/or solar energy generation farms. Not only are there many different types of energy generators on
the grid, but there are many different types of loads, and the generators and loads are distributed over large
geographic areas. The transmission grid carries electricity from the power plants over long distances at
high voltages. The distribution grid, separated from the transmission grid by voltage-reducing transformers
in a variety of substations, provides electricity to the consumers/loads.

From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the following
quote: “A motor assembly, a transmission assembly, and a controller assembly individually disposed are
used in a vehicle in the related art. The motor assembly and the transmission assembly are connected
together through a bolt. Box assemblies at connection locations have relatively large wall thicknesses and
waste space; there are many and bulky components; the loss is high; each assembly occupies a relatively
large space; the structure is insufficiently compact; and mounting and maintenance are difficult. Thus,
costs are relative relatively high, and the entire mass is large, which affects the endurance capability of the
entire vehicle.”

The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the
inventors: “Glass, due to its brittleness, is difficult to be processed, particularly when being processed into
some complex and fine shapes and structures. At present, in order to expand the scope of application of glass
and meet the requirements of use in certain specific fields, multiple glass members can be compounded to
form a glass composite for use. As such, the obtained composite can have the properties of glass and attain
complex and fine shapes. However, the glass composite currently obtained has the problem of deformation
of glass during processing, which greatly affects the appearance quality and optical performance of the glass
composite. Moreover, uneven deformation can cause serious surface distortion and unevenness, which limits
the use of glass composite.

From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the following
quote: “In the related technology, when charge and discharge setting is performed on an electric vehicle,
the electric vehicle needs to be in a power-on state. When the electric vehicle is powered off, a power
supply circuit of multimedia or instruments for charge and discharge setting is disconnected, the multimedia
or instruments cannot be started, and charge and discharge setting cannot be performed. In this case, if
charge and discharge setting needs to be performed, the electric vehicle needs to be powered on again to
start the multimedia or instruments, to find a corresponding setup menu for setting, and the operation is
relatively complex.”

From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the following
quote: “In the related art, during operation of a drive axle assembly of a vehicle, if components in the drive
axle assembly are not lubricated well, efficiency of transmission between gears and between the various
components decreases, and abnormal noise occurs. In addition, insufficient lubrication of the components
also leads to a reduction in the service life of each component.”
