Abstract: An illustrative embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for an alternate type system for optimizing the evaluation and use of meta-template instantiations. The computer-implemented method obtains a source code, instantiates an element of the source code to form an instantiated element and identifies a meta-template within the instantiated element to form an identified meta-template. The computer-implemented method creates an entry for the identified meta-template in a first data structure, wherein the entry comprises a set of mapped entries, creates an associated entry in a second data structure linked to the entry comprising the set of mapped entries, wherein the associated entry represents the set of mapped entries, and uses the associated entry of the second data structure in combination with the entry of the first data structure.

Abstract: A compiler generated static analysis of potential aliasing violations in a portion of code that is not in the current program view of the analysis. Source code in a current program view of the program code is processed to collect symbol definitions. The possible destinations of each symbol definition are computed. The set of symbol definitions in the current program view of the code that are accessible to the portion of the program code outside the current program view is evaluated. Each symbol definition is diagnosed based on the type of the symbol defined and the symbols which may be pointed-to by the symbol definitions.

Abstract: A system having a pre-mix burner manifold in a housing that may permit air to be drawn through slots in the housing to flow over an external surface of the manifold. The flow of air may maintain a temperature of the manifold lower than a temperature that the manifold might have without the flow. The manifold may be attached to a burner and heat exchanger.

Abstract: A burr attachment removably attached to an adapter rotary driven by a motor that includes a tube with a wire shaft supported therein and a wire coil (no spring rate) serving as a journal bearing rotary supporting the wire shaft and having each of the coils randomly touch the outer periphery surface of the wire shaft and the inner peripheral surface of the tube to enhance cooling and attenuate vibrations while allowing the burr attachment to be bent without kinking. The burr attachment includes a proximal end support and a distal end support that removably attaches to the adapter. The wire shaft is affixed to the proximal end support and rotates relative to the distal end support operatively connected to the adapter. Only the burr attached is removable and disposable while the adapter and motor are re-usable.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for facilitating debugging of source code. A set of indirect memory references is identified in the source code and points-to records are generated for the source code. The set of indirect memory references are validated using the points-to records and an aliasing rule to identify zero or more indirect memory references having a potential aliasing problem. In a case in which the zero or more indirect memory references comprise at least one indirect memory reference, the at least one indirect memory reference is in the set of indirect memory references. Responsive to a determination that the zero or more indirect memory references comprise at least one indirect memory reference, a report is generated identifying at least one location in the source code associated with the at least one indirect memory reference. The report is stored.

Abstract: A radiation therapy and scanning system is provided. The radiation and therapy scanning system includes a therapy source adapted to deliver a predetermined dose of treatment radiation along an axis to a patient positioned in a scan field, a stationary scanning source producing an electron beam, and a detector positioned to partially circumscribe the scan field. The radiation therapy and scanning system also includes a target arranged concentric with the detector and located opposite the detector across the scan field, the target positioned at an angle ? to the axis such that when the electron beam impinges on the target the target transmits radiation through the scan field to the detector.

Abstract: A method and system of electronically inspecting baggage comprises generating scan data representative of a piece of baggage. At least one of a contour and a surface is extracted from the scan data, and the at least one of a contour and a surface is representative of an object within the baggage. An object database comprises data representative of shapes of known objects, and the at least one of a contour and surface is compared to the object database to identify an object match which is presented.

Abstract: A burner system for a furnace. The system may have a wedged or other shaped burner box. An air-fuel mixer may be attached to a smaller end of the burner box at virtually any angle relative to a direction of a gas and air mixture leaving the larger box end. A burner head may be attached to the larger end of the box. The burner head may be sufficient for numerous heater sections of a heat exchanger. A spacer and a radiation shield may be situated between the burner head and heat exchanger. An addition of the radiation shield may reduce the operating temperature of the burner box, burner head and/or spacer. A fan may move the gas and air mixture from the mixer, through the box and the burner head. The mixture may be ignited into a flame which is moved into the heat exchanger.

Abstract: An electron beam scanner includes a stationary source producing an electron beam and a detector positioned to partially circumscribe a scan field, the detector divided into a pair of detector rings arranged adjacent to one another and separated by a gap extending at least partially about a circumference of the detector. The electron beam scanner also includes a target arranged concentric with the detector and located opposite the detector across the scan field, the target having end portions circumferentially overlapping the detector and radially aligned with the gap between the detector rings, such that when the electron beam impinges on the target the target transmits radiation through the gap across the scan field to an associated section of the detector.

A rendered view representative of a content of the baggage is provided where the rendered views are based on the scan data retrieved from the database over a network. The rendered views are presented at a destination different from the origin.

Abstract: A pressure management apparatus including a housing (30) defining a fluid communication passage between first and second fluid ports (46, 48). A poppet (40) is disposed in the housing and is movable between first and second positions. The first position prevents fluid communication between the first and second fluid ports, and the second position permits fluid communication between the first and second fluid ports. The poppet includes a portion (75) translatable along an axis relative to the housing. A member (78) is fixed with respect to the housing and is associated with the portion of the poppet. Spring structure (72) is associated with the portion of the poppet. The spring structure is constructed and arranged to engage and bias the portion of the poppet to frictionally engage a portion of the member to create a dashpot damping of resonance of the poppet in the second position.
