Coupling structures for tubing are disclosed. Particularly, caps configured for receiving one or more tube segments therein, and securing the tube segments to a component having protrusions thereon including bores therethrough in a fluid-tight manner are disclosed. The caps may have bores longitudinally therethrough for receiving the tube segments, the bore walls being free from projections to fit tightly against the tube segments. A longitudinally distal annular recess of the cap may be threaded to be secured to a component. In another alternative, caps having separate apertures for receiving attachment elements to secure the cap and the component are disclosed. Caps configured with a bore for receiving a tube segment, and separate apertures for receiving attachment pins are additionally disclosed.

A training device is disclosed. The training device may be a mannequin hand that has an artificial tip having a channel, and a first and a second hole leading into the channel. It has an artificial nail having a surface simulating a nail, and having a first and a second post extending away from the surface. The first post and the second post fit into the first hole and into the second hole, respectively, in a friction fit, and the first post and the second post extend into the channel. A bar slidably mounts in the channel. The bar has at least four surfaces, two shaped to not contact the first post or the second post, and two having an incline that contacts individual posts increasing pressure as the bar slides in a direction in the channel. The bar also includes a lever.

Networking systems and methods for establishing and maintaining virtual computing clouds are disclosed. A networking system can comprise a server and various instances of a software agent, each agent being installed on a computing device participating in a virtual computing cloud. The server can maintain account setting for a user, wherein the settings can indicate which files on indicated computing devices are included in the virtual computing cloud. The networking system can selectively synchronize data between the computing devices automatically and in a secure manner, and can transmit data in real time to simulate local storage when synchronization of certain files is inappropriate in light of file incompatibility. As a result, the networking system can provide the user with a seamless, automatic system and method for accessing a total computing environment.
摘要:
An automatic dispenser that is operated by pressure conveying a fluid from a reservoir. The system includes a reservoir having an inlet and an outlet. A pump is disposed in fluid communication with the reservoir. A first conduit is in fluid communication with the inlet to the reservoir and the pump. A second conduit is in fluid communication with the outlet of the reservoir. While the reservoir is being pressurized, a valve in the second conduit is closed. After the reservoir is pressurized, the valve is opened and the fluid in the reservoir is conveyed through the second conduit. The fluid is typically gravity fed from the second conduit to a fixture such as a urinal or toilet.
