摘要:
A system for removing snow from easily damaged surfaces such as artificial turf athletic fields includes a modified snow blower used in combination with a vehicle towing a sled. The sled can be a large polymer sheet with side straps and draw bars at one or both ends. The sled also includes tow straps or other attachments for coupling to the vehicle. The snow blower, which can be independent or driven by another vehicle, is modified to cover its cutting edge with an edge guard and to include a set of wheels behind the auger housing. In operation, the snow blower can travel alongside the vehicle and sled and discharge snow onto the sled. When desirable, the sled can be towed to a snow discharge area and emptied. For best results, the snow blower should travel at a constant speed while the sled travels at a variable speed.

Aspects of the present invention provide an efficient way for the job seeker to search for a company that fits the seeker's desired cultural traits by enabling the job seeker to identify key traits sought after in a prospective employer, and to use those traits to focus the job search. Thus, a job seeker is able to use a formal framework for assessing a company culture, can have access to a more-comprehensive listing of companies that meet certain criteria, can identify traits that are the most and least relevant to a company's culture, and can, as a result, see relative rankings of companies along various cultural dimensions.

Provided is a multi-tiered cascading crawling system for finding on a network information related to one or more predetermined topics or subtopics of interest. In general, embodiments of the present invention provide a system that operates in multiple “tiers,” where at least some of the output of one tier is used to comprise the input of the next tier. Each tier generally analyzes collections of documents on the network using successively more restrictive criteria about the subject matter of each collection and/or about which collections may be related to the one or more topics or subtopics. In general, only the final tier performs an exhaustive crawl of all of the documents of the collections that are identified by the system as being relevant to the topic or subtopic of interest.

A method for constructing a graphical representation of a plurality of tables in a restaurant is carried out by a computer system. A receiver coupled to the computer system is in communication with a plurality of transmitters, each transmitter being responsive to a stimulus that causes the transmitter to transmit a unique message frame to the receiver. The computer system responds to a received message frame by checking to determine if the unique message frame had already been received during the current construction process, and if the message frame had not been received, displaying an icon representing a table associated with the transmitter. Each transmitter is subjected to the stimulus, thereby causing each transmitter to send the message frame to the receiver, and thereby causing the computer system to display one icon for each table.

A fence comprises posts and panels. Each end of a panel includes a turn-back bend that leads to a securement mechanism for securing the panel to a post, whereby the securement mechanism (e.g., screws), is hidden from the front of the fence, thereby resulting in an aesthetically appealing fence. The panel may be made from ¼-inch steel.

The various embodiments described herein provide for the layout and rendering of graphical interfaces to be independent from the underlying functionality of the application. The layout functionality for a graphical interface of an application is detached from the application itself, allowing the application and its associated graphical interface to be moved to different platforms utilizing different graphical application programming interfaces (APIs).

A method of remanufacturing coolers, such as exhaust gas recirculation coolers, is provided. The method includes providing an exhaust gas recirculation cooler having cooling tubes attached to a header plate and an outer shell. At least one opening is milled in the outer shell to expose a portion of the cooling tubes. Brazing material is then injected into the cooler through the opening such that the brazing material, when heated, forms a fillet around each cooling tube adjacent to the header plate. A cover positioned over the opening and the cooler is heated to a brazing temperature, such that the brazing material flows around the cooling tubes, thereby reinforcing the tubes and repairing cracks in the tubes. Clips having a C-shaped configuration may also be positioned within the cooling tubes to further strengthen and repair the cooling tubes.

An aircraft configuration that may reduce the level of noise, infrared radiation, sonic boom, or combination thereof directed towards the ground from an aircraft in flight. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an aircraft includes a tubular fuselage, two delta wings, at least one engine mounted to the aircraft and higher than the wings, and vertical stabilizers mounted on each wing outboard of the outermost engine. Each wing may include a wing strake at the leading edge of the wing and extending to the fuselage and an aft deck. The leading edge of the wing may extend forward of the intake of the engine, and the trailing edge of the aft deck may extend aft of the engine exhaust. The aft deck may include an upwardly rotatable pitch control surface at the trailing edge of the deck.

A system, method, and computer program product for representing at least one of a user process and a system process as a software package in a software package management system. The method includes creating at least one package comprising at least one of a user process and a system process. The at least one package comprises a structure consistent with a software package so that the at least one package is able to be managed by a software package management system. The at least one package is stored on an information system via the software package management system.
