摘要： An LNG sampling system is provided which includes a sampling probe. The sampling probe includes a backflow prevention check valve positioned within the probe adjacent the inlet end. The probe is inserted into a source of LNG to extract samples of LNG by providing a pressure differential between the probe piping system and the pressure of the LNG within the source. In the event the pressure in the piping system increases above a predetermined amount, the check valve will close preventing backflow of LNG from the sampling system back into the source.

摘要： A removable heat inducer may be used in either a heated regulator or a fluid heater. The removable heat inducer has various embodiments. In one embodiment, helical threads are formed on the outside surface of the inducer. The inducer expands when heated causing the crest of the threads to come into contact with the inside surface of a heating chamber to form a spiral fluid passageway which promotes better heat exchange between the fluid and the heating element. In a first alternative embodiment of the inducer, a series of walled partitions and slots are formed on the outside surface of the inducer, which likewise expand and contact the inside surface of the heating chamber to form a dead head flow passageway. Again, the purpose of the passageway is to promote efficient heat exchange. In a second alternative embodiment of the removable heat inducer, a plurality of rods are placed in the heating chamber to promote heat exchange. The spaces between the rods form passageways for the fluid. The removable heat inducer may be used in a heated regulator or a fluid heater.

摘要： An elongate mercaptan injection apparatus is disclosed. From the remote end, there is an external fitting for connection with a supply line of liquid mercaptan. It communicates serially with an internal check valve captured in a chamber. The check valve includes a spring and ball cooperative with a valve seat. Through the check valve, the liquid mercaptan flows into an elongate hollow tubular member which is sealed externally with a number of fittings to prevent leakage. It extends to the interior of the pipeline through a fitting which seals to the wall of the pipeline. On the interior, it connects with an elongate hollow member packed with particulate material. A number of transverse openings provide cross ventilation so that flowing natural gas is able to pass through the particulate material. The liquid mercaptan is provided to the surfaces of the particulate material to provide an enhanced area which is moistened by the mercaptan liquid, and the flowing natural gas vaporizes the liquid to provide the proper odorization.

摘要： A method of more efficiently, easily and cost-effectively analyzing the performance of a device model is disclosed. Embodiments enable automated generation of theoretical performance analysis for a device model based upon a workload associated with rendering graphical data and a configuration of the device model. The workload may be independent of design configuration, thereby enabling determination of the workload without simulating the device model. Additionally, the design configuration may be updated or changed without re-determining the workload. Accordingly, the graphical data may comprise a general or random test which is relatively large in size and covers a relatively large operational scope of the design. Additionally, the workload may comprise graphical information determined based upon the graphical data. Further, the theoretical performance analysis may indicate a graphics pipeline unit of the device model causing a bottleneck in a graphics pipeline of the device model.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种更有效，容易和经济有效地分析设备模型性能的方法。 实施例能够基于与渲染图形数据和设备模型的配置相关联的工作负载来自动生成针对设备模型的理论性能分析。 工作负载可以独立于设计配置，从而能够在不模拟设备模型的情况下确定工作负载。 此外，可以更新或更改设计配置，而无需重新确定工作负载。 因此，图形数据可以包括尺寸相对较大并且涵盖设计的较大操作范围的一般或随机测试。 另外，工作负载可以包括基于图形数据确定的图形信息。 此外，理论性能分析可以指示设备模型的图形流水线单元导致设备模型的图形流水线中的瓶颈。

摘要： A processor employs a store to load forward (STLF) predictor which may indicate, for dispatching loads, a dependency on a store. The dependency is indicated for a store which, during a previous execution, interfered with the execution of the load. Since a dependency is indicated on the store, the load is prevented from scheduling and/or executing prior to the store. The STLF predictor is trained with information for a particular load and store in response to executing the load and store and detecting the interference. Additionally, the STLF predictor may be untrained (e.g. information for a particular load and store may be deleted) if a load is indicated by the STLF predictor as dependent upon a particular store and the dependency does not actually occur. In one implementation, the STLF predictor records at least a portion of the PC of a store which interferes with the load in a first table indexed by the load PC. A second table maintains a corresponding portion of the store PCs of recently dispatched stores, along with tags identifying the recently dispatched stores. In another implementation, the STLF predictor records a difference between the tags assigned to a load and a store which interferes with the load in a first table indexed by the load PC. The PC of the dispatching load is used to select a difference from the table, and the difference is added to the tag assigned to the load.

摘要： Granules are prepared containing an admixture of protein and starch layered over an inert particle. Proteins include pharmaceutically important proteins such as hormones, or industrially important proteins such as enzymes including proteases, amylases, lipases and cellulases capable of hydrolyzing substrates such as stains. Inert particles include inorganic salts, sugars, sugar alcohols, small organic molecules such as organic acids or salts, and minerals such as clays or silicates. The admixture may also contain sugar such as sucrose. A ratio of corn starch to sugar much greater than 1:1 such as in a range of about 5:1 to about 15:1 is preferred. A coating layer may be between the inert particle and the admixture and/or over the admixture. Methods that may be used in preparing the granules include pan-coating, fluid-bed coating, prilling, disc granulation, spray drying, extrusion, centrifugal extrusion, spheronization, drum granulation and high shear agglomeration.

摘要： A germicide applicator for cow udders incorporates a dispensing wand having a dispensing ring at an end thereof for applying a germicide solution to the teats of a cow. The dispensing ring has a central aperture sized to receive a teat and allow for the spraying of germicide from circumferentially spaced spray nozzles therein. A source of lactic acid and a source of sodium chlorite are provided in communication with the spray gun and are driven by respective pumps. Valves in the spray gun are actuated by a trigger and allow for the metering of both lactic acid and sodium chlorite in a common conduit within a wand, where they are mixed in the appropriate relationship to achieved the desired germicide. Float valves used in association with the sources of lactic acid and sodium chlorite shut down the pumps when an adequate supply of either is absent.

摘要： A liquid dispensing system generally includes a liquid pump connected to a source of pressure and an outlet tube. A first valve regulates the flow of pressurized air or gas between the source of pressure and the liquid pump. The first valve also regulates air or gas from the liquid pump to the atmosphere. A second valve may regulate the flow of liquid from the liquid pump through the outlet tube. A controller manipulates the first valve to create a pressure head in the liquid pump and then manipulates the second valve to dispense liquid. When dispensing is complete, the controller closes the second valve and manipulates the first valve to exhaust the pressure head from the liquid pump. An agitator resides in the liquid inside of the liquid pump. The agitator has a housing having a chamber for accepting an increased portion of the liquid in response to the creating of the pressure head and for rejecting such increased portion of the liquid from the chamber in response to the exhaustion of the pressure head. Liquid enters the chamber through an inlet tube and an intermediate tube controlled by a first check valve and exits the chamber through an intermediate tube and an outlet tube controlled by a second check valve.

摘要： A granule with an allergenic component has reduced dust by including antifoam added during the production of the granule. The antifoam may be dispersed throughout the granule or added to one of the components of the granule. The granule with antifoam produces at least 30% less dust than a comparable granule produced according to a process in which no antifoam is added.
