In a multi-threaded processor, thread priority variables are set up in memory. The actual assignment of thread priority is based on the expiration of a thread precedence counter. To further augment, the effectiveness of the thread precedence counters, starting counters are associated with each thread that serve as a multiplier for the value to be used in the thread precedence counter. The value in the starting counters are manipulated so as to prevent one thread from getting undue priority to the resources of the multi-threaded processor.

A heating system for a subsurface formation includes a conduit located in a first opening in the subsurface formation. Three electrical conductors are located in the conduit. A return conductor is located inside the conduit. The return conductor is electrically coupled to the ends of the electrical conductors distal from the surface of the formation. Insulation is located inside the conduit. The insulation electrically insulates the three electrical conductors, the return conductor, and the conduit from each other.

The present invention relates to the use of polymers as contrast agents for ultrasounds. The idea is to have a molecular imprint in the polymer that is specific for a given molecule or analyte. When that molecule binds to the polymer it induces a conformational change that results in an increase in the ultrasound signal, referred to as a target-bound state. The method can also be used for example for quantitative measurements of analytes.

A winch mechanism is provided with an integrated inverter for providing AC electric power from a DC electric power source. The winch mechanism is also provided with a plug receptacle to allow standard AC electric devices to be plugged into the winch mechanism so that the appliance can be utilized remotely from other AC electric power sources. An additional jump start storage device can be provided on the winch for providing back-up jump start storage.

Multiple components are selected, conveyed, and measured in a polymerization system. A control system adjusts the system variables to the desired values. Portions of the components can be fed to a pre-contactor before introduction into the polymerization reactor. The catalyst component concentrations and residence times are tightly controlled in the pre-contactor to affect product properties. The pre-contactor can be a single or multiple combinations of a CSTR or plug flow pre-contactors.

There is described a system and method for the in vivo determination of lactate levels in blood using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or Near-infrared Raman Spectroscopy (NIR-RAMAN). The method teaches measuring lactate in vivo comprising: optically coupling a body part with a light source and a light detector the body part having tissues comprising blood vessels; injecting near-infrared (NIR) light at one or a plurality of wavelengths in the body part; detecting, as a function of blood volume variations in the body part, light exiting the body part at at least the plurality of wavelengths to generate an optical signal; and processing the optical signal as a function of the blood volume variations to obtain a lactate level in blood.

A fifth wheel hitch for towing a trailer behind a motor vehicle is adjustable between a forward position and a rearward position. The fifth wheel hitch includes a base assembly for mounting to the motor vehicle, head assembly for engaging the trailer and at least one pivoting arm coupled between the base assembly and the head assembly. The head assembly moves in an arcuate path between the forward position and the rearward position as the pivoting arm articulates relative to the base assembly. Once positioned in the forward or rearward position, the head assembly is locked relative to the base assembly so as to prevent further movement.

Described herein are methods and systems for choosing digital advertisements to send to a user's computer while protecting private information. When a user performs a search using a public site, the user's search information is stored in a database. The system builds a profile for the user based on the public search information, which can be used to select advertisements for delivery to the user's computer. The system can also select advertisements based on information gleamed from a user's private (desktop) searches. For example, the system can use the category in which a user is searching to chose advertisements.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for filtering a gas or liquid stream such as a natural gas stream. The apparatus includes a closed vessel having a longitudinally extending length, an initially open interior, an input port at one extent and an output port at an opposite extent thereof. A partition located within the vessel interior divides the vessel interior into a first stage and a second stage. At least one opening is provided in the partition. A filter element is disposed within the vessel to extend from within the first stage. The filter element is easily mounted or removed from the vessel by rotating a J-slot engagement surface on the element which mates with a mounting structure provided in the vessel interior.
