摘要:
A gun (100 and 400) for using compressed gas from a compressed gas cartridge (106) to propel an arrow (102). The gun includes a barrel (104) for receiving the arrow and a compressed gas storage chamber (122 and 422). The compressed gas storage chamber is adapted to receive and store compressed gas in an expanded state from the compressed gas cartridge for later release. The gun also includes a valve assembly (130 and 430) for selectively releasing the compressed gas stored in the compressed gas storage chamber within the barrel for propelling the arrow out the barrel.

A multi-section stent includes a connecting structure that allows the stent sections to move and flex relative to one another. For deployment and positioning, the connecting structure connects the multiple stent sections and holds the stent sections substantially stationary relative to one another. Following deployment, the connecting structure allows the multiple stent sections to move relative to one another. Movable stent sections enable flexure of the stent upon deployment within a body lumen. This flexing structure allows better conformance of the stent to the shape of the body lumen, and exerts less overall pressure against the lumen wall, reducing the potential for trauma. Upon deployment, the multiple stent sections may be completely detached from one another. Alternatively, the stent sections may remain partially connected in a manner that allows substantial independent movement. The connecting structure can be manufactured to separate upon deployment, for example, by breaking or degrading within the body lumen in which the stent is positioned.
摘要:
The present invention is a dyeing and/or printing process which employs as an additive a composition comprising one or more cations selected from ammonium, Group I and Group II metals of the Periodic Tables due to Mendeleef, one or more carboxylate anions and water, the ratio of the anion to the cation being in the range of 2:1 and 4:1 on a chemical equivalent basis. The additive can be incorporated into the dyeing and/or printing process at various points in the process, for example at the stages of scouring of the fabric, mordanting, levelling, exhaustion, fixing finishing, water-proofing and milling. They are less corrosive to skin, clothing, plastics and metal and hence are safer to the operative and do not promote deterioration of equipment.

The present disclosure teaches a power module that includes a chip, a first substrate, and one or more electrically conductive inserts disposed between the chip and the first substrate. The inserts can be corrugated metal sheets, metal tubes, metal wires, or metal rods. One or more of those inserts form a layer in the planar direction of a first interstitial space between the chip and the first substrate.
摘要:
A system and method for energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) enhanced information technology power management tools. EEE-based computing center resources are designed to monitor energy savings events hardware components (e.g., physical layer device) included within the computing center resource. Energy saving statistics based on such monitoring can be provided to a power management tool. This monitoring information enables the power management tool to make broad service-level energy savings decisions on actual network activity. In addition, feedback based on the broad service-level energy savings decisions can be provided to the EEE-based computing center resources for consideration by their individual EEE control policies.
摘要:
A computer-implemented system and method for mortgage lending management and compliance receives, from a user, lending transaction data for a loan, property and a borrower; automatically determines if the loan complies with legal requirements and/or requires counseling based on the presence of one or more triggers (i.e., indicia of subprime or predatory lending) in the data, and notifying parties of the determination; and receives, from a counselor, counseling data for the loan and borrower. After any necessary counseling has been obtained and the counselor supplies all needed data, a certificate may be generated evidencing a counseling determination. The certificate may be transmitted to an office of a recorder for a jurisdiction in which the property is located. Suspicious activity may be flagged for appropriate investigation and remedial action by an administrator. Further progress may be halted until the administrator provides responsive input.
摘要:
A machine having an air conditioning system includes a compressor having an inlet and an outlet. A manifold having a housing is attached to the compressor and includes a low pressure channel for directing a low pressure refrigerant from a low pressure port of the manifold to the compressor inlet. The manifold also includes a high pressure channel for directing a compressed refrigerant from the compressor outlet to a high pressure port of the manifold. At least one additional port is in fluid communication with one of the high pressure channel and the low pressure channel.

A method of delivering content updates for user interfaces to devices is disclosed. The content data comprises metadata that determines how upgrades to the content data is delivered, for example locations of the updates, the frequency at which updates are accessed, etc. The metadata may also locate a further data resource, such as a database, that stores the location of the content data upgrades.
