Abstract: A device ( 10 ) for cleaning the inside of a container includes a base ( 11 ) carrying a tube ( 12 ). A hose ( 50 ) is received within the base ( 11 ) and is connected at one end to the bottom of the tube ( 12 ) and at the other end to a source of water via a quick disconnect assembly ( 60 ). A spray head ( 21 ) houses a plunger ( 30 ) which has a base ( 31 ) and a nose ( 32 ). A spring ( 37 ) urges the nose ( 32 ) of the plunger ( 30 ) out through an aperture ( 40 ) in the spray head ( 21 ). A flat washer seal ( 42 ) is positioned with a majority of its surface on a shelf ( 41 ) formed in the spray head ( 21 ). Ribs ( 43 ) on the shelf ( 41 ) engage the seal ( 42 ) on one side, and a rim ( 44 ) on the base ( 31 ) engages the other side of the seal ( 42 ). The quick disconnect assembly ( 60 ) includes a valve ( 66 ) which is maintained closed by a spring ( 67 ) so that when the hose ( 50 ) is disconnected from the source of water, or the water supply pressure is lost, backflow is prevented. When a container is inverted and its bottom pushed down on the top of the nose ( 32 ) of the plunger ( 30 ), the base ( 31 ) of the plunger ( 30 ) is moved away from the seal ( 42 ) to allow water to be emitted from spray head ( 21 ) through axial apertures ( 70 ) and radial apertures ( 71 ).

Abstract: Un mécanisme de synchronisation de données et de détection de collision est conçu pour augmenter la vitesse et la capacité d'applications réparties. L'environnement d'exécution utilise la détection de collision et la synchronisation de données pour distribuer les objets de données aux noeuds de réseau appropriés pour prendre en charge le traitement local. Le mécanisme de détection de collision et la synchronisation de données définit l'ensemble de processus et d'algorithmes utilisés pour suivre les objets de données distribués et pour gérer les changements apportés aux objets distribués sur un réseau de dispositifs informatiques intelligents. Les données et le code sont distribués à des dispositifs de calcul locaux nécessitant des mises à jour de suivi et de synchronisation. Le système et le procédé permet d'assurer que les mises à jour de données reçues au cours d'une transaction locale ne modifient pas de manière intempestive les résultats d'autres transactions en notifiant les dispositifs de calcul locaux des changements apportés aux données objets de la transaction. Ces conflits sont ensuite résolus dans les applications, et la notification de la résolution est envoyée aux dispositifs de calcul intelligents restants.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a system for
determining the cost of an equity research department to service a client of the department.
Different techniques to be employed by the system are disclosed. The first technique generally
includes estimating the time spent by each analyst of the department servicing the client over a
specified period of time. The time spent servicing the client may then be adjusted based on the
compensation of the analysis provider (or providers) servicing the client. Then, the
compensation-weighted time of each analyst provider that serviced the client may be summed to
thereby arrive at an estimate of the time and cost to service the client. In the second technique,
the standard cost per unit of the different types of client touch that the equity research department
produces is estimated. Then, the number and type of client touches a particular client receives
over a given period of time (e.g., three months, one year, etc.) can be determined and multiplied
by the standard cost per touch for the different touch types of to arrive at the total cost of
servicing the client over the time period.
