Title: Animal restraint apparatus and related methods
Inventor: SIMPSON TERENCE EARL
IPC: A01K1/04
Filed: 2006-05-05
Granted: 2012-02-21
Abstract: Restraining an animal may involve releasably and pivotably mounting an animal restraint apparatus comprising a housing having an integral socket, on an anchor such that the housing is held on the anchor by the socket to rotate about the anchor in a plane, and retractably dispensing a flexible tension link from a dispenser in the housing as the housing rotates in the plane about the anchor to restrain the animal moving around the anchor. Restraining the animal may also involve selectively dispensing a pre-determined amount of flexible tension link from among at least two discrete predetermined amounts of the flexible tension link in response to withdrawal of the flexible tension link from the dispenser unless an actuator accessible from outside the housing of the dispenser is actuated to engage a brake in the housing to prevent the dispenser from continuing to dispense the predetermined amount of flexible tension link.

Granted: 2016-10-11
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved sports helmet including a quick release connector assembly for the faceguard that allows for rapid disconnection of the faceguard from the helmet shell. The connector includes a bracket, and a coupler mechanism featuring an elongated pin, a head component, a spring, a retractable engaging element and a washer. The connector assembly is moveable between a use position wherein the faceguard is secured to the shell by the bracket and the coupler mechanism, and a released position wherein the bracket and the faceguard are disconnected from the shell. An inwardly directed actuation force that lacks a rotational component is applied to the elongated pin to move from the use position to the released position. In addition, the sports helmet includes an adjustable pad assembly comprised of an inflatable bladder and a pad member, wherein the bladder displaces the pad member towards the center of the shell. Once sufficiently displaced, the pad member, which includes a molded pad element, cradles a portion of the helmet wearer's skull.

Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: A method an apparatus for filling a vessel with compressed gas is disclosed. Gas is compressed into the vessel at a predetermined flow rate using a variable speed pump or compressor. The flow rate is adjusted to increase the gas pressure at a predetermined rate of change. The flow rate is adjusted based upon the instantaneous value of a measured parameter such as gas temperature or pressure or ambient temperature. The parameter is measured by a transducer and the value is fed back to a controller which adjusts the speed of the compressor or pump to produce the flow rate needed to achieve the predetermined pressure rate of change.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for precisely controlling particle movement relative to a phacoemulsification needle tip is provided. The design monitors actual vacuum present and calculates a pulse shape amplitude waveform proportional to the amount of measured vacuum. An increase in vacuum indicates that the handpiece/needle is becoming occluded by a large particle. The present design determines whether additional power is required to bump or move a large particle away from the needle tip. The present design may employ a control loop that senses and continuously monitors vacuum. The design may dynamically vary the amount of ultrasonic energy delivered to the surgical area in response to the observed actual vacuum, and can actively vary the amount of power delivered to the surgical area based on the size of the particle and the resultant vacuum realized.

Abstract: Various disclosed acoustic logging systems and methods compensate for logging tool tilt relative to the borehole axis. Some method embodiments include: generating an acoustic signal that propagates along a borehole in a formation; receiving a signal from each of a set of azimuthally-arranged acoustic transducers; processing the signals to compensate for logging tool tilt; and determining a property of the formation based at least in part on the compensated signals. Some tool embodiments include an internal controller that processes signals from different directions to determine and correct time offsets that are attributable to logging tool tilt. Thereafter, the tilt-compensated signals can be used to measure formation and borehole parameters which may be associated with position and displayed in the form of borehole logs and/or images.

Abstract: In an engine air cleaner, a suction opening (50) communicating with outside air and a discharge opening (16) communicating with an engine (E) are provided in an upper cover body (11) of a cleaner cover (10), a cleaner element unit (Ue) for cleaning the outside air sucked in via the suction opening (50) is housed within the upper cover body (11), and a skirt wall (11a) of the upper cover body (11) in the vicinity of the suction opening (50) extends further downward than the suction opening (50). This prevents raindrops running down the outer face of the cleaner cover body (11) from being sucked into the interior of the air cleaner via the suction opening (50). Further, a seal packing (68) and the cleaner element unit (Ue) are superimposed and fitted onto an outer periphery of an intake passage (17) within the cleaner cover body (10), the seal packing (68) preventing outside air from leaking directly into the discharge opening (16), and the seal packing (68) is provided with a retaining projection (75) that is tightly engaged with the intake passage (17). This prevents the seal packing (68) from being unintentionally detached from the cleaner cover body (10) when replacing the cleaner element unit (Ue), etc., thus preventing assembly of the seal packing (68) from being forgotten or the seal packing (68) from being lost. Furthermore, an air cleaner (AC) is disposed so as to be side by side with one side of the engine (E), a lower part of the cleaner cover body (10) is joined integrally to and supported on the engine (E) together with a carburetor (4) via a pair of connecting bolts (22, 23), and a reinforcing vertical wall portion (37) of the cleaner cover body (10) facing the engine (E) across a gap is joined integrally to and supported on the engine (E) via another connecting bolt (24). This enhances the rigidity with which the air cleaner is supported on the engine (E).

Title: Method and system for copying a framebuffer for transmission to a remote display
Inventor: BYFORD DUSTIN
IPC: H04L12/12
Filed: 2010-03-17
Granted: 2013-12-31
Abstract: Remote desktop servers include a display encoder that maintains a secondary framebuffer that contains display data to be encoded and transmitted to a remote client display. The display encoder submits requests to update the display data in the secondary framebuffer to a video adapter driver that has access to a primary framebuffer whose display data is updated according to drawing commands received from applications running on the remote desktop servers. The video adapter driver utilizes a spatial data structure to track changes made to the display data located in regions of the primary framebuffer and copies the display data in those regions of the primary framebuffer to corresponding regions in the secondary framebuffer.
