Abstract: A bite-in type pipe joint that has a ferrule formed integrally with a joint member with an external thread and prevents damage to an outer surface of the ferrule so as to avoid decrease of air tightness is provided. Also, a refrigerating apparatus and a water heating device each having the bite-in type pipe joint are provided. The bite-in type pipe joint includes a joint member 1 having an internal thread 11 and a joint member 2 having an external thread 21. A ferrule 3 is formed integrally with the joint member 2. By the time the joint members 1, 2 are fastened to each other, the ferrule 3 separates from the joint member 2 and bites into a pipe 4. The joint member 2 has a cylindrical cover 22 that covers the ferrule 3, which has an annular shape. This structure prevents a distal portion 3a and a tapered surface 31 of the ferrule 3 from being damaged when the joint member 2 is handled.

Abstract: To provide a target capsule that can be readily loaded with a sample, that allows the sample to be easily retrieved after application of impact pressure, and that can be used repeatedly, on the modification of a substance by application of impact pressure. 
     The above problem is solved by the target capsule comprising (A) a pedestal having a central projection, (B) a pedestal aid attached to the central projection so as to define a sample-loading assembly, and (C) an impact-receiving member, wherein the components (A), (B), and (C) are detachable from each other. Since the impact target capsule of the invention can readily load with a sample, can be easily retrieved the sample after application of impact pressure, and can be used repeatedly, the capsule can be preferably used as an impact compression apparatus in combination with a single-stage powder gun or a single-stage gas gun.

Abstract: A control system for a downhole tool, such as a subsurface safety valve, features an operating piston that is insensitive to tubing pressure in the valve. The hydrostatic forces from the single control line from the surface are significantly reduced with a branch line to a piston bottom that is slightly smaller than the piston top. A variable volume between piston seals is connected to a low pressure compressible fluid reservoir to permit piston movement. The piston can be modular to facilitate assembly or bore offsets in the valve body. Failsafe closure upon seal failures is contemplated.

Abstract: An identification system and method for medication management comprises a controller, a drug library accessible by the controller, the drug library containing drug library profiles including a data set of drug information, and an identification module configured to read patient identification information from machine-readable identification devices worn by patients and to read drug information from machine-readable identification devices affixed to drugs or containers of drugs. The controller compares the read information to each other and to the drug library profile and provides alerts or error signals in the event of an inconsistency. In one case, identification devices are read by an optical reader fixedly mounted to the identification module. In another case, identification devices are read by an optical reader that is hand-held and mobile and can be moved to the location of the identification device. The hand-held reader communicates with the identification module by wired or wireless means. In another case, a third reader that is non-optical and wireless is fixedly mounted to the identification module. The controller is also configured to provide alerts or error messages in the event that there is an inconsistency between the drug information on the drug or drug container when compared to the drug library profile associated with the controller.

Abstract: A reporting program and system whereby end users of navigation systems, or other computing platforms that use geographic data to obtain navigation-related or map-related services, can make reports about the geographic data. The reporting program can be used by end users to report perceived errors or inaccuracies in the geographic data. The end users can use their own personal computers, or other computing devices, to access the reporting program over a network, such as the Internet. When an end user accesses the reporting program, the reporting program provides a graphical map image to the end user on the end user's computing platform. The reporting program allows the end user to zoom and pan the graphical map image in order to display an image of the area about which the end user wishes to make a report. When the area about which the end user wishes to make a report is displayed on the end user's display screen, the reporting program allows the end user to mark up the graphical map image to illustrate a change. The reporting program also allows the end user to include text to describe a change. The reporting program captures the end user's graphical and text input as a report that is used to update or check the geographic database, as appropriate.

Abstract: A session initiation protocol (SIP)-based user registration method, a system, a terminal, and a server are provided. The method includes the following blocks. A terminal sends a registration request message (303) carrying a user number to a registrar; and then, the terminal receives a message (304) returned by the registrar. When the message indicates that the user number has already been registered on other terminal and it is determined to replace the registration on the other terminal (305), the terminal sends a message (306,308) requesting to replace a previous registration to the registrar adapted to request to replace the registration on the other terminal with the current registration. Another SIP-based user registration method is provided. The method includes the following blocks. A registration request message (303) carrying a user number is received sent by a terminal; after discovering the user number has already been registered on other terminal, a message (304) indicating that the user number has already been registered on the other terminal is sent to the terminal; and then, on receiving a message (306,308) of requesting to replace a previous registration returned by the terminal, the terminal sending the request is registered, and the registration on the other terminal are deregistered and further information (310) is sent to inform that the registration on the other terminal has been deregistered. Through the present invention, the user may register on the other terminal before deregistering the original registration.
