Secure data write apparatus and methods for use in safety instrumented process control systems select a parameter associated with a process control element within the process control system and send first data associated with the parameter to the process control element. A confirmation associated with a request to write the first data to the process control element is received from a user and the second data is sent to the process control element in response to receiving the confirmation. The first and second data are compared at the process control element and the first or second data are written to a location in the process control element associated with the parameter if the first and second data are at least substantially identical.

A mower blade bracket apparatus for safely changing mower blades includes a bracket body comprising a first half adjustably coupled to a second half to adjust for a distance between a first distal end and a second distal end. The first distal end and the second distal end have a first mounting aperture and a second mounting aperture extending therethrough, respectively. A pair of mounting bolts is coupled to the bracket body. The pair of mounting bolts is engaged with the first mounting aperture and the second mounting aperture to selectively engage a skirt of a lawn mower. A blade sleeve is coupled to the bracket body. The blade sleeve slidingly receives a blade of the lawn mower.

Methods and devices are provided for manipulating the glymphatic system to improve cognitive and other cranial or brain functions of a subject. In particular, pressure is alternately applied to the jugular veins on either side of the subject's neck to generate a to and fro movement of cranial fluids.

A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of a blast or concussive event includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during the incidence of the concussive event. Reducing blood out flow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood out flow further increases the intracranial pressure, and thereby increases the pressure of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, internal structure of the eye and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.

A computer-implemented method for identifying utility usage from a historical utility file is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a file containing historical utility consumption of a dwelling over a time period; processing the file through optical character recognition (OCR); identifying contextual data from the OCR processed file; identifying chart data from the OCR processed file; extracting one or more values from the chart data, wherein the values correspond to one or more elements of the chart data; and contextualizing the extracted values from the chart data by applying the contextual data to the extracted value to obtain utility usage data.

A single point hinge and a method of thermoforming a plastic container including a single point hinge include a lid, a tray, a single point hinge connecting the lid and the tray. The single point hinge includes an angle formed by a lid chamfer and a tray chamfer. The single point hinge further includes a lid well adjacent to the lid chamfer and a tray well adjacent to the tray chamfer, and the lid connects to the lid well and the tray connects to the tray well.
摘要:
An implant to be surgically positioned between two adjacent vertebrae made of a biocompatible material having two distinct areas of geometry—a front/anterior distracting portion and a second stabilizing back end/posterior portion. The device is inserted into the disc space on its side—in a first position—up until a point and then the device is rotated 90 degrees along a z-axis—into a second position—and then pushed the remainder of the way into the disc space. As viewed from the bottom of the device (in the second position—the position of the implant after rotation, the device is L-shaped, about L-shaped, or an angled dual leg configuration. A base member forms an angle anywhere between 30 to 150 degrees with a connected extended member.

Systems and methods are provided for providing domain name suggestions based on user preferences and terms extracted from one or more information sources. Terms may be continuously extracted from information sources and used to generate domain name suggestions. Generated domain name suggestions may then be delivered to customers. The systems and methods may utilize customer preferences in providing the domain name suggestions, such as preferences as to information sources or topics of interest. The systems and methods may be self-learning, taking historical domain name registration information into account to improve the domain name suggestions.
