As installation clip for use in supporting a window, such as a mulled window, during installation in a building wall opening, and reinforcing the window after installation against the pressures of wind or the like. The installation clip is of unitary construction with a generally flat base portion, and a set of counterextending, raised tab portions projecting upwardly and outwardly from one side of the base portion. The height and width of the raised tab portions are selected to conform substantially to the dimensions of a recess in the bottom frame member of the window with which the clip is to be used. The installation clip is mounted to the sill structure of the building wall opening, with its tab portions facing into the center of the opening, and the window is inserted into the opening onto the mounted clip. The raised tab portions of the clip engage in the recess in the window bottom frame, and hold the window in place while it is permanently secured in the opening by conventional means. After the window is permanently secured, the installation clip reinforces the window against applied pressures and loads, particularly at the areas of the mullions of the window. The clip is such that it is completely hidden from view after the window is permanently installed.

Leaf node items within a tree data structure are efficiently deleted. A leaf node item of a leaf node of the tree data structure is marked for deletion. The leaf node is marked as containing leaf node items that have been marked for deletion. A flag for a region encompassing the leaf node within a linear representation of the tree data structure is set. The linear representation of the tree data structure has a number of regions, each of which encompass one or more of the leaf nodes and that have a corresponding flag. Periodically, the tree data structure is cleaned. Each region of the linear representation for which the corresponding flag is set is scanned for leaf nodes that have been marked as containing leaf node items that have been marked for deletion. Each such leaf node item that within each such leaf node is found is deleted.

A user may utilize a communication device, e.g., a wireless phone, mobile device or personal digital assistant (PDA), to contact an information/call center where an operator provides personalized information and communications services to the user in accordance with the invention. Such services may include, e.g., private directory and calendar data synchronization, identity pre-validation, etc. To personalize the services, at least one profile record associated with the user which may specify, among others, the devices used by the user to communicate with the information/call center, and preferred information/call center to which an information assistance call is routed. Accordingly, services and service features provided to the user may be tailored for use with the specified devices. Security measures may also be instituted in the profile record to restrict use of certain services and service features.

Disclosed is a method of making oil byproducts off of cloned and processed fats separated into lines for different byproducts. Process can be done on a scaleable design such as a fuel tank or an old manufacturing plant and generator. Factory's make its own power off of the fuel it makes separating it into two streams, a product stream and a generator stream. It would take many of these factories to supply oil to an area but be an economical way of doing so.

Systems, including apparatus and methods, for obtaining and/or correcting images, particularly from atmospheric and/or other distortions. These corrections may involve, among others, determining corrective information in a first (e.g., visible) wavelength regime, and then applying the corrective information in a second (e.g., longer) wavelength regime, such as infrared (IR) or millimeter-wave (MMW) wavelengths, in real time or with post-processing. For example, these corrections may include scaling a phase diversity correction from one wavelength to another. These systems may be useful in any suitable imaging context, including navigation, targeting, search and rescue, law enforcement, and/or surveillance, among others.

A check valve for a fluid handling system is disclosed, the check valve having a main body with a poppet valve disposed therein and a spring urging the poppet valve into abutment with an inner surface of the main body, wherein the check valve facilitates a flow of fluid in one direction and militates against the flow of fluid in an opposite direction.

The present invention recognizes that a need exists for timely, accurate, and thorough methods, systems, articles of manufacture and methods of doing business in the context of information retrieval and analysis, particularly for businesses dealing in goods and services wherein price fluctuations are common and rapid. The present invention addresses these needs by providing appropriate systems, methods, articles of manufacture and methods of doing business. One aspect of the present invention is a method for obtaining results from a query, including: providing a query to a server by a client system; obtaining data relating to the query; optionally storing the data in whole or in part on the server; formulating a response to the query using software and the data; optionally notifying a client remote location of the existence of the results; and obtaining the results through the client system.

An internal combustion engine's start-up torsional disturbances are reduced by drawing down intake manifold pressure prior to engine cranking. In a preferred arrangement, a secondary air injection reaction pump is adapted for evacuating the intake manifold to effect the desired draw down of the intake manifold pressure.

In a typical peer-to-peer network, any user of the peer-to-peer network may request a lookup of a key and its associated value. To limit access to a stored key-value pair, a storage node may verify that the lookup message requesting the key-value pair is authorized to access the payload. For example, the storage node may verify that the lookup message provides a retrieval identifier included in an access list included in the value of the stored key-value pair. The lookup message may include an origination identifier which may verify the source of the lookup message. If the lookup message is verified, the storage node may send the payload to the node sending the lookup message. If the payload is encrypted, the storage node may also send a group key suitable for decrypting the payload. The group key may be decrypted using a key known by the user associated with the provided retrieval identifier.

A quiet, non-binding articulatable spring mechanism for resiliently supporting a mattress includes a system of articulatable, sinuous springs, each having hooked ends for silencing the mechanism during use or collapse, as well as central offset portions for enabling the sinuous springs to compress to a greater extent than heretofore. Both rigid and yieldable support structures connect the spring mechanism to an item of furniture.
