Abstract:
A tube connector (10) to enable a straight tube or even a curved tube of tight radius of curvature to be connected to a structural member has a flat cutter disc (11) shaped to fit in the end of an internally splined tube (20). The outer edge of the cutter disc has a series of teeth (12) which cut into and locate with the splines when the cutter disc is rotated in the tube. The cutter disc may have a floating central insert (25) screw threaded to allow connection to another structural member without a need for precise alignment.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for providing access to spatial data. A request for data is received. Enterprise and third party data are integrated. The integrated data is processed. Spatially referenced results are generated using the processed data. The spatially referenced results are returned in response to the request.

Abstract:
A method for fastening a button to a panel of fabric includes the steps of looping a thread having at least a thermo-fusible element between the button and the fabric panel to create at least two runs of thread between the panel and the button; gathering thread from the runs into mutual contact and applying heat to the shank to melt the thermo-fusible element of the runs of thread.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are techniques to manage access to a memory using a buffer construct that includes state information associated with a region of the memory. The disclosed techniques facilitate access to the region of memory through a direct memory access operation while the state information of the buffer construct is in a first state. The state information can be transitioned to a second state in response to a first instruction. The disclosed techniques also facilitate access to the region of memory through a cache operation while the state information of the buffer construct is in the second state is disclosed. The state information can be transitioned to the first state in response to a second instruction.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are techniques to execute tasks with a computing device. A first task is initiated to perform an operation of the first task. A buffer construct that represents a region of memory accessible to the operation of the first task is created. A second task is initiated to perform of an operation of the second task that is configured to be timed to initiate in response to the buffer construct being communicated to the second task from the first task.
Abstract:
A concurrent and asynchronous system may be managed by monitoring the performance of a plurality of operations that access a designated region of memory. In that region of memory, an occurrence of a potentially non-deterministic event can be detected when at least one of the operations is a write operation. The occurrence of the potentially non-deterministic event may then be recorded.
