One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates performing operations on a lock-free double-ended queue (deque). This deque is implemented as a doubly-linked list of nodes formed into a ring, so that node pointers in one direction form an inner ring, and node pointers in the other direction form an outer ring. The deque has an inner hat, which points to a node next to the last occupied node along the inner ring, and an outer hat, which points to a node next to the last occupied node along the outer ring. The system uses a double compare-and-swap (DCAS) operation while performing pop and push operations onto either end of the deque, as well as growing and shrinking operations to change the number of nodes that are in the ring used by the deque.

The present continuous positive airway pressure machine bag invention is a bag that will allow emergency personnel to have the CPAP machines at hand, transportable, and easily and quickly accessible and protected. While the present CPAP machine bag invention is sized to fit a specific CPAP machine, it is thought that this invention will either fit other machines or will be adaptable or modifiable to fit other machines. The web grab handle, the ribbon handle at the zipper pulls, the two handles, the removable shoulder strap, and the extension of the tongue add to the convenience and importance of the invention, which may even be useful to non-emergency personnel or to emergency personnel for other gear or usage.

A tile positioning device for height adjusting a tile located on a roof hip or ridge joint, each tile having upper and lower faces. The device comprises two opposing longitudinal spaced apart side members arranged for straddling a roof hip or ridge joint, means for maintaining the longitudinal side members in a substantially parallel configuration, and at least one tile-pressing element mounted between the longitudinal side members. The or each tile-pressing element being arranged to act upon the upper face of a tile located between the longitudinal side members, so as to height position the tile relative to the device.

An apparatus for carrying out a multi-step process of converting hydrocarbon fuel to a substantially pure hydrogen gas feed includes a plurality of reaction zones arranged in a common reaction chamber. The multi-step process includes: providing a fuel to the fuel processor so that as the fuel reacts and forms the hydrogen rich gas, the intermediate gas products pass through each reaction zone as arranged in the reactor to produce the hydrogen rich gas.

This invention provides 163 genes that are unique to the L. monocytogenes serovar 4b strain, CLIP80459, compared with L. monocytogenes EGDe strain. These genes are the basis for isolated nucleic acids, hybridization supports, and kits comprising a nucleotide sequence that is unique to a serovar 4b strain of L. monocytogenes. The invention also provides methods for identifying a L. monocytogenes in a sample, methods for identifying the lineage of a L. monocytogenes in a sample, and methods for sub-lineage typing of a L. monocytogenes in a sample. The invention also provides hybridization supports comprising a L. monocytogenes lineage-specific nucleic acid sequence, hybridization supports comprising a L. monocytogenes sub-lineage-specific nucleic acid sequence combination, and kits comprising a nucleic acid or hybridization support of the invention. Additionally, the invention provides specific macroarrays, methods, and kits for use in serotyping L. monocytogenes.

Described are a method and system for providing enhanced caller information to a communications recipient. Enhanced caller information is determined from a caller information storage device associated with a caller attempting to establish a communications session with the communications recipient. The enhanced caller information is transmitted to the communications recipient and presented prior to the establishment of the communications session. The presentation can include the display of text, graphical information and audible information to the communications recipient. Optionally, the enhanced caller information includes data used to establish a communications link between the caller and the communications recipient.
摘要:
A system for accurately detecting the unavailability of a call center agent that uses one or more agent sensors provided in the area of the agent's desk or station that are triggered when the agent moves into or out of the physical area in which he or she can answer calls. The agent sensor may be an external hardware peripheral device which communicates with a call center software application. The agent sensor operates to notify the call center application when an associated agent leaves their desk, so that the call center application can make that agent unavailable to receive calls as a result. When the agent returns, another signal may be sent from the sensor to the call center application indicating that the agent is again available to receive calls. The information gathered by the call center application from the sensor signals may be used to assist in report generation regarding call center agents, and to improve call center performance, since calls are not forwarded to agents that have stepped away from their desk, even for a brief moment.

A label printing apparatus having an input device for determining a predetermined label length and selecting one or more of plurality of characters for composing a label having one or more lines of characters in the length; a memory for storing font data defining the plurality of characters; a display for displaying the characters selected at the input device; a printer for printing the selected characters on an image receiving tape to produce a label; and a controller operable to determine an appropriate character size such that the number of characters selected by a user can be accommodated on the predetermined length of tape, wherein the controller is operable to apply a scaling factor to the font data according to the appropriate character size to optimize the size of the characters within the predetermined label length. Also a method of formatting a variable length character string to fit within a region of fixed dimension, by retrieving a string of characters from an input device; determining the length of a region of fixed dimension; determining an appropriate character size such that the number of characters can be accommodated with the region of fixed dimension; and optimizing the sizes of the characters within the region of fixed dimension so that said characters of the character string may be placed within the region of fixed dimension.

A traction splint for a long bone extremity fracture in which the length of the frame of the traction splint and the angle of the ischial pad of the traction splint relative to the frame are adjusted simultaneously. The ischial pad is pivotally connected to the frame and the pivotal movement of the ischial pad relative to the frame is restricted or limited up to 35.degree..
