Abstract:
A food toasting device comprising a pouch and optionally, a handle. A method of using the food toasting device comprising placing a desired quantity of a food product, such as nuts, in the pouch of the food toasting device, placing the food toasting device into an appliance for heating, turning on the appliance so that the food product is exposed to the desired amount of heat, waiting until the food product is sufficiently toasted, and removing the food toasting device containing the food product from the appliance.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a cover unit comprising dimensions for encasing an adapter block of a power adapter. The cover unit further comprises at least a first opening being configured for passage of input power to the adapter block, a second opening being configured for passage of output power from the adapter block, and a plurality of ventilation openings for passage of air to and from the adapter block. A plurality of foot structures are disposed on at least a bottom side of the cover unit. The plurality of foot structures are configured for supporting the cover unit a distance above a flat surface.
Abstract:
Techniques for processing source code written in a traditionally interpreted language such as JavaScript, or another dynamic and/or interpreted language, are disclosed. In one example, compiled code associated with the source code is constructed and executed. An assumption on which a specific aspect of the compiled code is based (e.g., an optimization) is tested at a checkpoint of the compiled code. A roll over to fallback code is performed if the test indicates the assumption is not true.
Abstract:
A duckbill pod (100) having an ejector mechanism, the duckbill pod (100) comprising a tray (10) for providing a transport surface for goods or material, a pusher plate (50) arranged substantially perpendicular to the tray (10), a drive arrangement for actuating the pusher plate (50) and reciprocate same between a mouth and a rear end of the duckbill pod (100), and a lifting plate (20) secured to the tray (10) for attaching the duckbill pod (100) to a loader.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer programs for managing authentication data for an authentication device are disclosed. An authentication device may be included, for example, in a mobile device battery so that the battery can be authenticated by a mobile device. In some implementations, encrypted certificate data are stored on an authentication device. The encrypted certificate data are accessed, and unencrypted certificate data are generated by decrypting the encrypted certificate data. The unencrypted certificate data are stored on the authentication device. The unencrypted certificate data enable the authentication device to provide a valid reply message, for example, in response to receiving an interrogation message from an interrogation device. In some implementations, the reply message includes the unencrypted certificate data and a response value generated by the authentication device based on a secret value.
Abstract:
An elastomeric composition for a curing bladder comprises isobutylene based elastomer, curative and a hydrocarbon polymer modifier comprising monomers selected from the group consisting of piperylenes, cyclic pentadienes, aromatics, limonenes, pinenes, amylenes, and combinations thereof, wherein the cyclic pentadienes comprise at least 10 weight percent of the monomers by total weight of the monomers. Also disclosed are a tire curing bladder made from the elastomeric composition, a tire curing press containing the bladder, a method of making the tire curing bladder, an improvement to the process of making the tire curing bladder to improve processability of the mixture and fatigue life and DeMattia cut growth, a method of making a tire using the tire curing bladder, and an improvement to the process of making a tire to extend a pull point of the curing bladder and/or to reduce the curing time for the tire construct.
Abstract:
Methods and an associated traffic management module and system are disclosed for monitoring, at a traffic management module (26) within a data network, path characterisation information indicative of at least one measure of a dynamic network characteristic at a remote node (23) outside said data network. The method involves a traffic management module (26) receiving at least one data unit from a remote node (23) outside said data network, and in the event that said at least one data unit is encapsulated in an outer header and that an inner header of said data unit includes path characterisation information, performing the following in respect of said data unit: (a) monitoring said path characterisation information in said inner header; and (b) forwarding said data unit according to a first treatment category. In the event that these conditions are not met, the data unit is instead subjected to an alternative treatment.
Abstract:
A housing for a portable electronic device including a first transparent curved portion configured to curve from a front face of the housing to a first side face of the housing; a second transparent curved portion configured to curve from the front face of the housing to a second side face of the housing; a third transparent curved portion configured to curve from a rear face of the housing to the first side face of the housing; and a fourth transparent curved portion configured to curve from the rear face of the housing to the second side face of the housing.
Abstract:
A live performance is monitored by analyzing an input data stream comprising real-time updates related to the live performance. Different sets of excitement levels, excitement curves, alerts and teasers are generated based on the analysis and reported to a plurality of subscribers using any of a variety of mobile communication and/or computing devices.
Abstract:
A disclosed interface between an emulator and a network that is readily scalable. In one aspect, a scalable solution is achieved through a hardware interface board positioned between the network and the emulator to allow proper transfer there between. A computer is separated from and coupled to the hardware interface board and provides the necessary control signals. Because it is done in hardware separated from the computer, the interface board is readily scalable through the simple addition of network chip sets. In another aspect, the interface board can be placed in two modes of operation, a live test mode and a direct test mode. In yet another aspect, packet formats may be changed on the interface board so that it appears to the emulator as if the network is operating at a different data transfer speed than is actually the case.
