Abstract:
AN ALARM VALVE MECHANISM FOR CONTROLLING THE DELIVERY OF FLUID TO A SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND BEING OPTIONALLY SETTABLE FOR EITHER A WET OR A DRY SYSTEM, SAID VALVE INCORPORATING A CLACK ARRANGED IN A VALVE OPENING, AND AN ALARM PORT, WHEREIN SAID VALVE OPENING AND SAID ALARM PORT ARE FORMED WITH CONCENTRIC SEALING FACES ARRANGED IN THE SAME PLACE AND A COMMON SEALING MEMBER IS PROVIDED TO CLOSE BOTH SAID OPENING AND SAID PORT. SAID SEALING MEMBER AND SAID CLACK ARE ALSO PROVIDED WITH MEANS TO PREVENT, IN THE WET STATE, UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION OF THE ALARM IN THE EVENT OF A CHANGE IN THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF SAID CLARK.
Abstract:
A table apparatus for connection to a toilet bowl. The apparatus includes a clamp for connecting to a toilet-bowl rim. A longitudinally adjustable arm configured to extend from the rim of the toilet to a distal end above the toilet. A table top is attached to the distal end of the adjustable arm for holding common objects such as electronic devices, smart phones, electronic books, magazines, and the like.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an anchor for rock or similar material, and methods therefor. The anchor has a hinged base, which base consists of at least a pair of pivotally connected wings, the wings able to pivot about at least one longitudinal axis between, a first position in a closed state and a second position in an open state, the open state having a dimension between opposing parts of each wing that is greater than when in the closed state. A locking mechanism locks the wings in either the first position, or the second position. A connecting portion adapted to enable a load to be connected to the anchor connects to the hinged base, the connecting portion having a loading axis which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. The anchor can be set between either the first position, or the second position, and then anchored to enable a load to be connected thereto.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an internal combustion engine (1) with a crankcase (3) and a cylinder head (4) having exhaust ports (9) feeding into an exhaust manifold (10) for exhaust gas from the combustion chambers (5) of the internal combustion engine (1). Provision is hereby made for the cylinder head (4) to include at least one region of a heating channel (12) which is different from the exhaust ports (9) and the exhaust manifold (10) and has an inlet side (14) branching from one of the exhaust ports (9) or the exhaust manifold (10), and which is flowed through by an exhaust mass flow that is adjustable by an actuator (13). The invention further relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine (1).
Abstract:
It may be advantageous to facilitate communication between two types of source code. For example, a wrapper may be generated to translate between managed source code and native source code. Current techniques may translate a single type of native source code into a managed binary wrapper. However, as provided herein, a managed source code wrapper may be generated based upon a variety of native source code formats. A native binary descriptor describing a set of native code may be received. A provider may be selected based upon the format of the set of native code. The provider may be executed upon the native binary descriptor to produce a common native binary description. A managed source code wrapper may be generated based upon the common native binary description. Because the managed source code wrapper may be in a textual source code format, a developer may easily maintain and/or customize the wrapper.
Abstract:
An apparatus to detect particulate matter. The apparatus includes a sensor electrode, a shroud, and a heater. The electrode measures a chemical composition within an exhaust stream. The shroud surrounds at least a portion of the sensor electrode, exclusive of a distal end of the sensor electrode exposed to the exhaust stream. The shroud defines an air gap between the sensor electrode and the shroud and an opening toward the distal end of the sensor electrode. The heater is mounted relative to the sensor electrode. The heater burns off particulate matter in the air gap between the sensor electrode and the shroud.
