Abstract: A firearm with a slide and a frame. The slide has a slide rail. The frame has a frame rail. The frame rail interfaces with the slide rail. The frame rail has a lubrication groove and a debris removal port. The lubrication groove extends along a surface of the frame rail that bears against the slide rail during operation of the firearm. The debris removal port has gap within the frame rail proximate to an end of the lubrication groove.

Abstract: A method of extracting natural gas from an underground storage formation and has the steps of: (a) recovering natural gas stored in a first underground formation at a first pressure to the ground surface and forming a first natural gas flow; (b) separating liquid from the first natural gas flow and forming second natural gas flow; (c) heating said second natural gas flow to form a heated, third natural gas flow having a sufficient temperature to prevent hydrate formation when the third gas flow is expanded to a second pressure that is lower than the first pressure; and (d) expanding the third natural gas flow across an expansion turbine to generate electricity and form a fourth natural gas flow having the second pressure.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, devices and systems for decontaminating respiratory medical devices and equipment. Decontamination includes removing humidity from an interior of a respiratory equipment decontamination chamber after an interior thereof is sealed to exclude ambient air. The interior of the decontamination chamber is conditioned by introducing vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) thereto to achieve a target concentration, which is maintained at a predetermined concentration for a decontamination period. The interior of the decontamination chamber is then aerated. Other examples are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A method and system for performing real time searches of large alphanumeric data sets including the following steps, combining a cognitive neuromorphic architecture with a neuron based encoding binary filter, wherein building the filter includes encoding input data as a concatenated binary representation, wherein the data becomes a binary value, connecting an axon to a neuron to create a synapse; wherein each binary value includes multiple axons and neurons, determining a weight to each synapse, applying the synaptic weight to the input data to determine an integrated value and determining if the integrated value is greater than or equal to a threshold value.

Abstract: A truck assembly is used in a wheeled recreational device including a base plate and hanger. The base plate defines a plurality of mounting holes adapted for receiving respective threaded bolts, and further defines a corresponding plurality of fastener retention regions surrounding respective mounting holes. Each fastener retention region includes point-engaging structure adapted for engaging at least two points of a multi-point threaded nut, such that the point-engaging structure substantially prevents rotation of the threaded nut upon mating attachment of a corresponding threaded bolt. The hanger resides adjacent to the base plate, and includes a wheel axle adapted for carrying at least one wheel of the recreational device.
