Abstract: A web service gateway system includes a host application execution environment including one or more processors, a memory, and a gateway interface configured to receive a gateway copybook input from a host application. The gateway copybook includes input data including a pointer identifying a memory location of a request structure copybook, and output data including a pointer identifying a memory location of a response structure copybook. A gateway program receives the gateway copybook from the gateway interface and invokes a proxy web service with a request using the request structure copybook. The proxy web service maps data from the request structure copybook to web protocol format data, and invokes a target web service with the web protocol format data. The gateway program returns to the gateway interface a response that is based upon a response the gateway program receives from the proxy web service and uses the response structure copybook.

Abstract: A system and method for collecting produced fluid from a laboratory test chamber using a plurality of syringe pumps, wherein the pressure is selectively controlled during the collecting, and the pressure is selectively reduced prior to expelling the produced fluid to one or more collection flasks.

Abstract: A user installs a hotspot alert application on their mobile device. The application employs the location technology of the user device to transmit the location of the device, and thus the location of the user. The location can be transmitted to a server located in a hotspot tracking system. By establishing the location of the user, the server may search for hotspots on a database stored on the system. The server establishes the dimensions of a hotspot zone around the user's location and transmits the hotspots and the zone dimensions to the application on the user device. The application monitors the location of the user device and deliver's configured alerts to the user when approaching a hotspot. When the device leaves a zone or remains idle for a configured amount of time, the device requests and receives an updated zone of hotspots.

Abstract: A pressure regulating device for use with a breathing assistance and/or resuscitation apparatus, which conveys gases along a gases pathway to a patient, includes a mounting for connecting the pressure regulating device to a first outlet in fluid communication with the gases pathway. The mounting holds a valve member that selectively blocks, at least in part, the first outlet. A control member can be manipulated to adjust a property of the valve member. The valve member at least partially blocks the first outlet when the pressure of gases in the pathway is below a selected level, and allows at least a portion of the gases to flow out of the first outlet when the pressure of said gases is above the selected level. The property includes a selected level of pressure whereby manipulation of the control member adjusts the level of pressure between a maximum level and a minimum level.

Abstract: A web service gateway provides a single web service API to host applications for accessing any web service. The single web service API may be available across all host execution environments; facilitate client service by handling target service addresses and security credentials; avoid significant new training for existing host application developers; and be a low-cost addition to existing infrastructure. The web service gateway supports multiple execution domains and multiple test environments.

Abstract: A method and system for a compartment baffle system are provided. The compartment baffle system includes a first baffle portion extending along an axial length of a casing, the first baffle portion extending radially outwardly from an outer surface of the casing and a second baffle portion extending at least partially radially outwardly from the first baffle portion. The second baffle portion further includes a radially inner edge supported by the first baffle portion and a radially outer edge extending proximate an inner surface of a radially outer cowl. The compartment baffle system also includes a gap extending between the radially outer edge and the inner surface.

Abstract: A holder for body scrubbers or synthetic loofas, which consumers everywhere love to use while bathing and showering. Liquid soap can be added to the dispenser in the holder, and it will be distributed through the sponge, making it easier to enjoy the fragrance and feel of one's favorite liquid soap while bathing.

Abstract: An apparatus for a gas turbine engine can include an airfoil having an interior. The interior can be separated into one or more cooling air channels extending in a span-wise direction. An accelerator insert can be placed in one or more cooling air channels to define a reduced cross-sectional area within the cooling air channel to accelerate an airflow passing through the cooling air channel.
