Abstract:
A housing for a flexible fuel sensor and method of use is disclosed. The housing comprises of a first chamber, a second chamber, and bypass passageway extending therebetween. The first chamber is configured to receive and hold the first conduit of the flexible fuel sensor. The second chamber is configured to receive and hold the second conduit of the flexible fuel sensor. The bypass passageway is configured to permit fuel to flow therethrough and thereout.
Abstract:
Caps having porous elements that act as a vent to facilitate cooling of hot fluids stored in containers. Certain embodiments comprise a cap that may be affixed to a container filled with a hot fluid. The cap may include a porous element that allows air to enter the container during the cooling process, but also prevents the introduction of microbes and bacteria into the container. The cap may include a through hole, chamber, or recessed area to receive and secure the porous element. In certain embodiments the porous element may comprise a sintered composite material with thermoplastic particles and either metal particles and/or metal powder. In other embodiments, the porous element may comprise a layered structure. The layers may include a combination of the sintered composite material, a metallic layer, or various porous layers.
Abstract:
A fishing lure is configured to optimally provide anglers and fishermen with a spinner bait lure designed to catch big fish in freshwater locations. The fishing lure is configured to attach conveniently to any type of fishing rod via a rear attachment ring. The fishing rod may include a bullet-shaped main body with multiple spinner blades and additional weight designed for longer casts enabling fishermen to customize the lure with ornamental feathers and other attachments.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a pre-paid product using a unique container. The system comprises a computer system comprising a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and stored instructions for execution by the processing circuit. The computer system includes a sales module that acquires an identifier for the unique container and generates a credential ID for a customer. The sales module also activates the unique container, and stores the identifier for the unique container and the corresponding credential ID in the storage medium. Also included is a dispensing module that receives a request from a remote dispensing device for validation of the unique container to receive the prepaid product, compares a received identifier and a received credential ID with the identifier and the credential ID stored in the storage medium, and authorizes the dispensing of the prepaid product if they match.
Abstract:
Trapping and/or processing of read/write accesses to hardware devices represented to the host through a memory mapped space may be performed without knowledge of the processor's instruction set or semantics of the processor's instructions. A single step routine may be executed to recognize page faults occurring from read/write accesses to emulated memory pages and causing the guest to retry the operation on a single step buffer. The hypervisor may perform post-operation processing on the single step buffer after the guest retries and completes the read or write access. For example, on a read request, the single step routine may place the guest value in the single step buffer for reading by the guest on a retry operation. On a write request, the single step routine may direct the guest to retry the write operation into the single step buffer. After the retry operation the single step routine may read the guest value from the single step buffer and place the guest value in a register of an appropriate emulated system.
