Abstract: A creatine composition comprising a base component, a dianion component, and a creatine component. In some exemplary embodiment, the base component and dianion component can at least be partially reacted before being added to the creating component. On a dry weight basis, the base component can comprise between about 7-20% of the composition by weight, the dianion component can comprise between about 35-50% of the composition by weight, and the creatine component can comprise between about 30-60% of the composition by weight. In embodiments where the base component and dianion component are first reacted to form a base dianion component, the base dianion component can comprise between about 40-65% of the composition by weight. The creatine component can comprise between about 35-60% of the composition by weight with the remainder of the composition being composed of deionized water (i.e., between about 0-10% of the composition by weight).

Abstract: A mounting assembly is provided for a vehicle ROPS unit which includes two legs. Each mounting assembly includes a base plate fixed to an end of a corresponding leg, a support plate, a top plate and a resilient bushing unit which separates the base plate from the support and top plates. The base plate is sandwiched between the support plate and the top plate. The bushing unit includes first and second resilient bushing members and a rigid hollow central sleeve. The bushing unit is received by a bore in the base plate. The support plate includes hollow mounting towers which project into bores in the base plate. Cap screws attach the mounting assembly to a vehicle axle housing. The top plate and the support plate are fixed to each other and to a frame of the vehicle.

Abstract: Roofing material removing apparatus are provided. More particularly, roofing material removing apparatuses with an adjustable guide assembly wherein the adjustable guide assembly provides for continual forward motion and continuous control of the flow of roofing material are presented. The adjustable guide assembly is adaptable to various tool assemblies and applications.

Abstract: A cooling system for a marine vessel is configured to allow all cooling water to flow out of the cooling circuit naturally and under the influence of gravity when the marine vessel is removed from the body of water. All conduits of the cooling circuit are sloped downwardly and rearwardly from within the marine vessel to an opening through its transom. Traps are avoided so that residual water is not retained within locations of the cooling system after the natural draining process is complete. The opening through the transom of the marine vessel is at or below all conduits of the cooling system in order to facilitate the natural draining of the cooling system under the influence of gravity and without the need for operator intervention.

Abstract: The present invention provides private namespaces for active computing environments. The invention uses one or more “compute capsules”. A compute capsule is a private, portable, persistent environment. Each compute capsule comprises an arbitrary set of active processes and their associated state information. In one embodiment, compute capsules provide a private, customizable view of a shared file system, so that users can modify arbitrary files without the expense of providing each person with a separate and complete file system image. In one embodiment, the invention provides environments with different personalities, each of which can be contained within a capsule. For example, a user can have one capsule for normal desktop usage, a fail-safe capsule with a minimal environment and no external dependencies, capsules for work-related and personal activities, etc. In one embodiment, capsules are given access rights.

Abstract: The present invention is for aggregate resource management of active computing environments. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention a compute capsule is provided. A capsule encapsulates an active computing environment. An active computing environment comprises one or more processes and the complete state necessary for the execution of those processes. Within the operating system, compute capsules are promoted to first class objects. Once promoted to first class object status, the compute capsule can be assigned resources, subjected to auditing constraints, and subjected to security policies. In one embodiment, resource management algorithms are applied to the promoted compute capsules. In another embodiment, a compute capsule that encapsulates a user's computing session can be assigned a guaranteed share of computing resources. In another embodiment, compute capsules are restricted from accessing the network or certain portions of the file system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a representation and encapsulation of active computing environments. In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention a “compute capsule” is implemented. Each compute capsule serves to represent and encapsulate an active computing environment. An active computing environment comprises one or more active processes and their associated state information. The associated state information is information in a form that can be understood by any computer and tells the computer exactly what the processes in the capsule are doing at any given time. In this way, the compute capsule is a host-independent encapsulation that can be suspended on one computer, moved to a new computer, and re-started on the new computer where the new computer is binary compatible.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the performance of an edge launch electrical connector. Two or more edge vias are established along an edge face of a planar circuit module, such as a single- or multi-layer PCB, integrated circuit on a ceramic or organic substrate or a ceramic or organic package, thereby providing a short path from one or more of the substrate assembly's ground planes to a ground associated with the edge launch electrical connector, reducing jitter and providing a solution with low insertion and return losses. The two edge vias may be standard vias, castellations or wires or lines deposited, printed, painted, secured or put in contact with an edge face of the planar circuit module and are arranged at each side of the signal line thereby providing additional electromagnetic shielding. Optionally, an air line may be established to increase the operational cut-off frequency and/or improve electrical performance.
