Abstract: An ergonomically designed, auto-retracting utility knife that can safely remain in the user's hand while performing non cutting tasks. This invention allows a person to continue with the jobs they were performing by having the ability to use both hands and not having to set the utility knife down between manual tasks, thus saving time and increasing efficiency. An auto-retracting blade decreases the risk lacerations and other hand/wrist injuries to the user and others during routine use of the knife.

Abstract: Spray systems and control systems for use with spray systems are provided. A spray system generally includes a tank configured to hold a product, a conduit in fluid communication with the tank, a pump in fluid communication with the conduit, a flow controller, a plurality of electrically actuated nozzle assemblies in fluid communication with the conduit, and a pressure controller. The flow controller is configured to regulate a flow rate of product through the conduit based on a travel speed of the system. The plurality of nozzle assemblies is configured to dispense the product such that an upstream nozzle pressure is established within the conduit. The pressure controller is configured to control at least one operating parameter of at least one of the nozzle assemblies based at least in part on speed information indicative of the travel speed of the system to maintain a substantially constant upstream nozzle pressure.

Abstract: A system for selectively routing data within a fiber channel arbitrated loop, including an intra-loop router configured to be coupled between a first segment and a second segment of the fiber channel arbitrated loop. The intra-loop router includes a router controller configured to be coupled with the first and second segments, and a processing system coupled with the router controller. The processing system is configured to receive fiber channel frames and cause those frames to be re-transmitted onto a selected one of the first and second segments of the fiber channel arbitrated loop.

Abstract: A SCSI-to-fiber channel gateway configured to permit a SCSI initiator on a parallel SCSI bus to communicate with a fiber channel target on a fiber channel transport medium. The SCSI-to-fiber channel gateway includes a front-end SCSI controller configured to operatively couple the SCSI-to-fiber channel gateway with the parallel SCSI bus, and a back-end fiber channel controller configured to operatively couple the SCSI-to-fiber channel gateway with the fiber channel transport medium. The gateway further includes a processing system coupled with the front-end SCSI controller and the back-end fiber channel controller. The processing system is configured to maintain a fiber channel identifier for the fiber channel target, and create a mapping between the fiber channel identifier and a SCSI-ID associated with the parallel SCSI bus.
