  • Patent number: 9585541
    Abstract: A stabilizer for glassware in an automatic dishwasher has an inside to contact the item of glassware and an outside opposite the inside. A resilient mesh is selectably mountable on an item of glassware to at least partially encircle an outer circumference of the item of glassware to removably retain the item of glassware in the automatic dishwasher. The mesh includes a longitudinal axis defined by the mesh, and channels open on the inside to channel water from between the stabilizer and the item of glassware under an influence of gravity to prevent an accumulation of water in the stabilizer or between the stabilizer and the item of glassware. At least one permanent magnet is affixed to the resilient mesh to selectively magnetically attach the stabilizer and the item of glassware to an adjacent magnetically responsive object disposed in the dishwasher to thereby stabilize the item of glassware in the dishwasher and to cushion the item of glassware from impact.

  • Publication number: 20160252198
    Abstract: A prong is configured for use with a concrete reinforcement element and includes first and second legs positioned opposite first and second sides of the prong and a bridge portion connecting distal ends the legs, where the bridge portion forms a first end of the prong. The legs extend from the bridge portion to a second end of the prong opposite the first end, and each of the legs has a proximal end at the second end of the prong. The proximal end of the first leg is bent toward the second leg, and the proximal end of the second leg is bent toward the first leg, such that the proximal ends of the legs overlap each other. Inner surfaces of the proximal ends of the legs define engagement surfaces configured to engage a tie wire, enabling the proximal ends to be connected to the tie wire.

  • Publication number: 20160071179
    Abstract: An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a framework to demonstrate and/or train at least one live product. The framework includes a first panel associated with at least one step, and a second panel to display content and at least a portion of the at least one live product according to the at least one step. The system also includes at least one script to perform at least one task associated with the at least one step. The at least one step is performable independent of an order in which the at least one step is presented by the framework.

  • Publication number: 20150371047
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to assessing dynamic security scans using runtime analysis and static code analysis. In example embodiments, a system performs static code analysis of a web application to identify reachable code and/or data entry points, where the data entry points are used to determine an attack surface size for the web application. At this stage, the system may initiate runtime monitoring for a dynamic security scan of the web application, where the runtime monitoring detects invocation of a statement at one of the data entry points. The invocation is logged as an invocation entry that comprises invocation parameters and/or code units that were executed in response to the invocation. The system may then determine an attack surface coverage of the dynamic security scan using the invocation entry and the attack surface size and/or a reachable code coverage using the invocation entry and the reachable code.

  • Patent number: 8783345
    Abstract: A method of microbial enhanced oil recovery from a wellbore in an oil-bearing formation that includes injecting water into the oil-bearing formation via a tubing string in the wellbore and introducing oxygen into the oil-bearing formation for consumption by microbes in the oil-bearing formation. The oxygen introduction includes delivering the oxygen into the oil-bearing formation without having the introduced oxygen contact the walls of the tubing string and without having the introduced oxygen contact the injected water within the tubing string while the injected water is in the tubing string.

  • Patent number: 7249349
    Abstract: A method and system for reverting a process in an in-line instrumented state to an uninstrumented state. In one embodiment, the present invention modifies selected text segment portions from the process to be uninstrumented. The present embodiment then unmaps instrumented code space such that the instrumented code space is inaccessible to the process. In this embodiment, provided an instruction pointer resides in the instrumented code space, the present invention updates the instruction pointer to uninstrumented code space. The present embodiment also executes the process and, provided the process generates a fault by seeking to access an address in instrumented code space, provides a corresponding address in uninstrumented code space. In one embodiment, the present invention then continues execution at the address in instrumented code space.

  • Patent number: 6988549
    Abstract: A combination of SAGD with cogeneration technology for exploiting shallow heavy oil and bitumen reservoirs under primary, secondary and tertiary thermal recovery. Superheated steam is generated by the heat recovery from the exhaust of an above-ground hydrocarbon powered turbine driven electric generator cogeneration plant and is injected through well bores into the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir that is traversed by at least one horizontal producing well bore and one injection well bore to heat the reservoir formation and to induce gravity drainage of the hydrocarbons and allowing their recovery from the horizontal producing well bore. Electrical power that is generated is sold to the electric grid and can be used to offset the fuel costs for the above ground hydrocarbon turbine-driven elector generators.
