Embodiments of the invention include a circuit for interfacing local bitlines to a global bitline. The circuit includes an interface line coupled to a local bitline through a local bitline device. A global output device has an input coupled to the interface line and an output coupled to the global bitline. A clamping device is coupled to the interface line, the clamping device coupling the interface line to ground in response to a data in signal. A memory having the circuit is also disclosed.

A method and system for distributing access to inventory items available at vendor locations includes user stations transmitting user inquiries on a communications network. Network-connected location servers access a set of inventory availability information associated with inventory items available at their respective location, for example, tables at a restaurant. The host server receives user inquiries regarding availability of items associated with at least some of the location servers and queries a cache server that locally stores a binary subset of the information from the location servers to determine if the requested item is available without having to separately query the database at each location. Particularly, a web server receives and stores information regarding only whether a requested item is available or not available from a particular location rather than how many items are available at the location. A user, therefore, can access availability of inventory items with less communications traffic.
摘要:
A method of treating conditions associated with pain and alleviating the symptoms associated therewith which comprises administering to a mammal, including man, a vanilloid VR-1 antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and an NSAID or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, wherein said VR-1 antagonist or said NSAID may optionally be administered as a sub-maximal amount.

Forming a proximal anastomosis on an aortic wall includes method and instrumentation and apparatus for forming an aortic puncture and inserting into the vessel through the puncture a fluid-impervious sealing element with a protruding retainer. An anastomosis of a graft vessel over the puncture is partially completed with the retainer of the sealing element protruding through the partial anastomosis. The retainer facilitates removal of the sealing element from the partial anastomosis prior to completion of the procedure.

A system, method and program product for managing e-mails from a source suspected of sending spam. The e-mails are received at a firewall or router en route to a mail server. A determination is made whether a source has sent an e-mail which exhibits characteristics of spam. In response, subsequent e-mails from the source destined for the mail server are rate-limiting at the firewall or router such that the firewall or router limits a rate at which the subsequent e-mails are forwarded from the firewall or router to the mail server. The rate is predetermined and less than a maximum rate at which the firewall or router can physically forward e-mails to the mail server absent the rate limit. A determination is made whether another source has sent another e-mail which exhibits more characteristics of spam than the first said e-mail. In response, subsequent e-mails from this other source are blocked at the firewall or router. The rate limit can be a limit on a number of e-mails per unit of time from the source that will be forwarded from the firewall or router to the mail server.
摘要:
A method of blocking spam at a firewall involves applying blocking measures for an adaptively determined duration. The blocking measure is then suspended while determining whether the spam has ended. If so, the method resets to an initial state. Otherwise, the blocking measure is re-applied for a second duration.

The present invention provides a means for constructing a brushless canned motor that is compact enough to be suitable for use in small appliances, such as electronic devices. The rotating parts of the motor are encapsulated within a can such that the motor can be hermetically connected to a driven device.

A laser marking device includes a fixture for temporarily attaching the device in an initial cutout of a number of serial cutouts to be fabricated in adjacent assembled I-joists. Combined with the fixture is an angle gage that provides angular positioning of a marking laser. The angle gage is configured to hold the laser with its beam coinciding with the marking origin of the initial cutout, which in case of circular cutout may be the reference center at which the pilot drill of the hole saw is centered at the begin of the cutout operation. The marker laser may be horizontally and/or vertically oriented together with an eventual alignment laser and an eventual target marker temporarily affixed on the I-joist where a final reference point is determined for an axial orientation of the cutouts across the I-joists.

A lane maintenance machine has a cleaning system that includes at least one cleaning liquid dispensing head which reciprocates back and forth transversely of the lane as the machine travels along the length of the lane. In a preferred embodiment the dispensing head emits successive squirts of liquid from a positive displacement pump, such as a peristaltic pump. The positive displacement pump provides accurate, precise metering of the cleaning liquid and affords board-by-board control of the dispensing action. A wiping assembly immediately behind the cleaning liquid dispensing head provides a web of cloth-like material looped under a compressible backup roller to wipe the applied liquid into a thin film and to pick up a measure of the liquid along with oil and dirt. A vacuum squeegee pickup head trailing the wiping assembly lifts the remaining film of cleaning liquid completely off the lane surface, whereupon lane dressing is applied at the rear of the machine utilizing a dressing dispensing head that, like the cleaning liquid dispensing head, reciprocates transversely of the lane to dispense dressing in a pattern preselected by the operator.
