A rack for comestible fluid dispensing containers used in a comestible fluid dispensing system. The rack is expandable and/or adjustable in some embodiments to enable an assembler or user to change the capacity of the rack as desired. The racks can be stackable upon one another and can have supports for supporting comestible fluid containers in the rack. In some embodiments, a rail and bracket assembly is employed to facilitate adjustment of the position of fluid dispensing components on the rail. The rail and bracket assembly can be employed on a comestible fluid container rack or in other locations.

A skid landing gear for a helicopter, in which the directional stiffnesses of the cross members of the skid landing gear have been de-coupled from one another, such that optimization of the longitudinal stiffness of the cross members may be performed independently of the optimization of the vertical stiffness and fatigue life of the cross members. In order to de-couple the stiffnesses in the skid type landing gear, two approaches are employed. In the first approach, the skid landing gear has non-symmetric-section cross members and/or distribution of different materials within the cross-section for de-coupling the vertical stiffness of the cross members from the longitudinal stiffness, such that placement of the ground resonance frequency may be optimized, while retaining the vertical stiffness properties essential for optimizing vertical energy attenuation and fatigue life. In the second approach, mounting devices are employed that provide compliance in selected directions, thereby de-coupling the directional stiffnesses.

Apparatus is provided for processing an analysis slide in a chemical analyzer which is particularly suitable for performing both endpoint and rate analyses. The slide-processing apparatus comprises a slide transfer mechanism for selectively transferring analysis slides between an incubator and a read station. The incubator includes a temperature-controlled chamber having a rotor disposed in a horizontal plane therein comprising slide-holding members adapted to support each of a plurality of analysis slides at individual stations. Each of the individual stations may be selectively positioned to a transfer location wherein the slide carried by the rotor is accessible for removal. The slide transfer mechanism accesses the slide at the transfer location, removes the slide from the incubator, and delivers the slide to the read station. Following analysis at the read station, the slide is returned by the slide transfer mechanism to the incubator if the slide is being employed for rate analysis. If the slide is being used for endpoint analysis, the slide is discarded through a diverter portion of the slide transfer mechanism.

An apparatus and method for cauterizing biological tissue while providing isolation from surrounding absorbing tissue and fluid media. The device is comprised of a probe having a special window through which an infrared laser beam is directed to cauterize the biological tissue. The device is comprised of an infrared laser beam generator, a control circuit for controlling the intensity and duration of the laser beam and an articulated arm for directing the laser beam to the probe. The probe is comprised of a hollow, laser light guide tube having an infrared transparent window in its tip which permits the tip to be brought into contact with biological tissue such as vascular tissue to be cauterized while excluding the surrounding absorbing tissue from the effects of the beam. The probe may also include an adjacent endoscopic viewing tube and accessory tube to provide fluid, suction and optical illumination at the vicinity of the window.

A method and apparatus for providing network security using role-based access control is disclosed. A network device implementing such a method can include, for example, an access control list. Such an access control list includes an access control list entry, which, in turn, includes a user group field. Alternatively, a network device implementing such a method can include, for example, a forwarding table that includes a plurality of forwarding table entries. In such a case, at least one of the forwarding table entries includes a user group field.
摘要:
A method and system for best effort propagation of security group information is disclosed. The method includes determining if a reserved group identifier is associated with a destination and, if the reserved group identifier is associated with the destination, indicating that a packet received at a network node can be sent to another network node. The packet includes destination information that identifies the destination as a destination of the packet.
摘要:
A system and method to isolate vibrations from a vibrating structure. The system includes an adjustable vibration isolator that creates a reacting force matching the vibratory force of the vibrating structure. The method includes continuously monitoring the reacting force and vibratory force with a sensor system operably associated with a control unit having an algorithm to determine if adjustment of the vibration isolator is required. If required, the control unit commands a driver to selectively adjust the vibration isolator.
