A pourer which may be used for concurrently pouring dark and white liqueurs from adjacent containers of a bottle. The pourer has a main pourer body with pourer body sections which is engagable, for example by snap fitting, with the respective container. Each pourer body section has a liquid passageway which extends from a liquid inlet to a pouring outlet. The liquid passageways include upstanding portions extending into the containers and separate upper bend portions leading to the outlets. The angle between the longitudinal axes of the outlets is approximately 120.degree. for concurrent pouring of the liquids to opposite sides of a glass. Separate air passageways extend from air inlet parts to air outlets. The air flow is controlled by an air pot over each outlet. The air pots are sized and positioned so that fluid does not enter the air passageways on pouring and only air is forced up the air passageways on finishing pouring.

A heat pipe roller includes a rotatable outer tube having a primary internal chamber for containing a fluid, a heater operable to heat the fluid and hence the tube, and a sensor. The sensor has a movable member which communicates with the primary chamber and is mounted on the tube for rotation therewith, and a fixed member situated in the region of the axis of rotation of the tube and so mounted relative to the tube that rotation of the tube does not rotate the fixed member. The fixed member is adapted to be connected to equipment for measuring an electrical characteristic of the sensor. The arrangement is such that, in use, the movable member moves in response to a temperature change or temperature related physical change in the primary chamber, thereby causing a corresponding change in the electrical characteristic of the sensor.

Techniques for routing a payload of a first network protocol, which includes header information for a second network protocol, include communicating a packet. In a circuit block, a first type for the first network protocol and a second type for the second network protocol are determined. The circuit block stores a classification that indicates a unique combination of the first type and the second type. A general purpose processor routes the packet based on the classification. Processor clock cycles are saved that would be consumed in determining the types. Furthermore, based on the classification, the processor can store an offset value for aligning the header relative to a cache line. The circuit block can store the packet shifted by the offset value. The processor can then retrieve from memory a single cache line to receive the header, thereby saving excess loading and ejecting of cache.

Techniques for initializing an arbitrary portion of memory with an arbitrary pattern includes using a memory controller for performing sequenced read and write operations. The memory controller receives address data, length data and pattern data on a data bus connected to a processor. The address data indicates a location in memory. The length data indicates an amount of memory to be initialized. The pattern data indicates a particular series of bits that is much shorter than the amount of memory indicated by the length data. The memory controller performs multiple write operations on memory beginning at a first location based on the address data and ending at a second location based on the length data. Each write operation writes the pattern data to a current location in memory, thereby initializing the arbitrary portion of memory with an arbitrary pattern based on the pattern data.

A gun system has a two piece cannon assembly that is separated between a removable chamber instead of a traditional breech, and a projectile forcing cone. The chamber has a plug at one end that can accommodate any type of ignition system, and the other end is open and is attached to the barrel with a connection fitting. High pressure gases created by combustion of the propellant are sealed with a high-pressure gas compression seal at the interface between the chamber and the barrel. The connection fitting provides an attachment for a rear cannon bearing slide, which rides on rails attached to the main support structure, and also reacts any torque induced into the barrel from the actuation of the chamber/barrel locking collar. A turntable upon which are mounted two chamber elevating/support mechanisms and two projectile loader/rammer mechanisms is positioned around one of the main support structure legs.

Techniques for synchronizing use of buffer descriptors for data, such as packets transmitted over a network, include receiving private index data that indicates a particular buffer descriptor owned by a DMA controller, for moving data between a data port and a corresponding memory buffer. A write command is placed on a memory exchange queue to change the owner to a different processor and the private index data is incremented. A public index is determined, which indicates a different buffer descriptor in which the owner is most recently changed to the processor and is known to be visible to the processor. In response to receiving a request from the processor for the most recent buffer descriptor changed to processor ownership, the public index data is sent to the processor. Based on the public index data, the processor exchanges data with buffer descriptors guaranteed to be owned by the processor.

According to the present invention, a series of genes are identified in Group B Streptococcus, the products of which may be located on the outer surface of the organism. The genes, or functional fragments thereof, may be useful in the preparation of therapeutics, e.g. vaccines for the immunization of a patient against microbial infection.
