Abstract: A virtual machine monitor; and an executive virtual machine to manage page tables in place of the virtual machine monitor are described. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A hair band assembly includes a lower band element and an upper band element defining a cavity there between. A pair of eyeglasses, including a frame element enclosing lenses therein, is connected to the hair band assembly via a connector that allows the eyeglasses to pivot between two positions an extended position on the individual's face, and a refracted position within the cavity of the hair band. The frame element on the eyeglasses includes a tab that projects outwardly from the side of the eyeglasses. The tab fits into a recess defined within the upper band element to allow easy retrieval. The frame element also includes a protrusion that mates with a recess on the lower side of the upper band element, such that the recess forms a protrusion snap lock for holding the eyeglasses in place within the cavity. The hair band assembly encompasses a reversible decorative element that is removable from the hair band.

Abstract: A virtual machine monitor; and an executive virtual machine to manage page tables in place of the virtual machine monitor are described. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus to scavenge energy caused by changes in interior pressure of a container, including at least one flexible chamber containing a fluid at a predetermined pressure; a piezoelectric element coupled to the flexible chamber so as to generate electricity when the flexible chamber is flexed by a change in interior pressure of the container.

Abstract: A spin cast die assembly includes a casing, an insert and an end cap assembly for retaining the insert against an annular shoulder within the casing. The end cap assembly has a mounting ring attached an end of the casing. The mounting ring receives a flyweight ring which engages an end of the insert and which pivotally supports a plurality of flyweight members which are mounted radially internally with respect to the mounting ring. The mounting ring has an annular flyweight engagement surface which faces generally radially inwardly and towards the shoulder. As the assembly is spun, the inner ends of the flyweight members pivot radially outwardly. The flyweight members thereby cooperate with the flyweight engagement surfaces of the mounting ring to cause the flyweight ring to move axially towards the insert and thereby force the insert against the shoulder.

Abstract: A part sorting and aligning apparatus for picks parts out of a hopper, aligns the parts and conveys them to another location. The apparatus includes a tilted rotary wheel next to the hopper. Multiple arrays of hooks or pickup members are mounted for rotation on the wheel. The bottom of the hopper has a sliding plate which has slots through which the hooks travel as the hooks move upwardly into and through the hopper. Each pickup member has a weight bar which hangs from the pickup member. As the wheel rotates, the hooks engage and pick up parts as the hooks move upwardly through the hopper. The weight bar maintains a desired orientation of the hooks and the parts as the wheel rotates. Pair of rails pick the parts off of the hooks, so that the parts can be transferred to another location.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for controlling the free deformation of thermoplastic material in an automated process for processing the material to form articles. These articles are especially ampules, small bottles and the like produced from glass tubes. In this method, in order to obtain a high dimensional accuracy of the article, a corrective action is carried out by applying heat to the starting material in the deformation region in the heating phase. This corrective action takes place in dependence on a desired-value/actual-value comparison of the deformation of a workpiece achieved in a predetermined working step. In order to exclude interference influences in the development of the deformation, the measurement of the deformation achieved, the desired-value/actual-value comparison and the corrective action are carried out in situ on one and the same workpiece during shaping of the deformation in the heating phase.

Abstract: A press pad for high-pressure multi-story presses for the production of high-pressure laminates, including a textile fabric including a plurality of yarns composed of aromatic polyamide, and metal filaments disposed in said textile fabric in an amount ranging from 10 to 25 weight percent, based on the total weight of the press pad, the metal filaments being helically wound around each of the aromatic polyamide yarns.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (and an apparatus) for controlling a steam turbine of a power station unit that includes a steam turbine and a steam generator, with the output signal of the turbine controller acting on the adjusting mechanism of the turbine inlet valve arrangement. In order with such a method to relieve the turbine controller of those controller output variations that are already evident from the change of the reference inputs, the output signal of the turbine controller has added to it a signal that is computed from the load setpoint of the turbine controller according to the relationship governing the steam turbine ##EQU1## and that is supplied to the summating point in the computed magnitude or weighted by a factor k that deviates from unity.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of concentrated sulfuric acid from H.sub.2 O- and SO.sub.2 -containing gases by the oxidation of the SO.sub.2 thereof in a plurality of contact stages while lowering the temperature of the gases, thereby condensing the sulfuric acid therefrom, comprises cooling a portion of the sulfur dioxide-containing gases exiting from a combustion or cracking furnace by contacting them with cooling water, the water vapor contained in the gases thereby being partially condensed-out or separated-off. The resulting cooled gases with reduced steam content are recycled into the furnace and, by the selection of the cooling temperature of the recycled gas, the H.sub.2 O/SO.sub.2 mol ratio in the combustion or cracking gases is adjusted within the range of from 1.0 to 1.25, and the remaining portion of the sulfur dioxide-containing gases, i.e., those which are not recycled, is fed to contact oxidation stages.
