    摘要: A cradle for supporting a bass drum, the bass drum having a front hoop and a rear hoop disposed on either side of a cylindrical shell, the front and rear hoops being secured against the drum shell by a plurality of drum lugs or connector rods extending along the shell. The cradle comprises a base platform, and front and rear vertical support plates extending from the base platform and having top edges. The cradle includes a plurality of brackets attached to the front and rear vertical support plates along the top edges, the brackets each having an upward facing channel, the brackets and channels being located to removably receive drum lugs or connector rods along a lower side of the shell. The channels of the brackets engage the drum lugs or connector rods along the lower side of shell to support the bass drum.

    摘要: A pneumatic animal stunner employing a stunning rod includes a catch mounted within the housing for alternately holding and releasing the stunning rod. A catch piston is disposed adjacent the catch on a side away from the longitudinal axis, and is in sliding contact adjacent the catch end portion and out of contact with the catch body portion. The catch piston slides between a first position urging the catch end portion toward the stunning rod longitudinal axis in the hold position, thereby holding and preventing the stunning rod from being driven forward, and a second position permitting the catch end portion to move to the release position away from the stunning rod longitudinal axis releasing and permitting the stunning rod to be driven forward. Valves control air flow to cause the catch piston to move between the first and second positions.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for adaptive clock throttling for event processing are provided. Embodiments include an event processing system receiving a plurality of events from one or more components of the distributed processing system. Embodiments also include the event processing system determining that an arrival attribute of the plurality of events exceeds an arrival threshold. Embodiments also include the event processing system, adjusting, in response to determining that the arrival attribute of the plurality of events exceeds the arrival threshold, a clock speed of at least one of the event processing system and a component of the distributed processing system.
