Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for correlating information associated with one networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), to information associated with a different networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv4). More specifically, when resolving an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a requesting device to a network, the system may base the resolved destination on one or more attributes of a known address to build a network mapping of the received IP address. In one specific example, an IPv6 address is received and associated with a known IPv4 address to map the network.

Abstract: To counteract the potentially destructive effects of temperature increases in primary batteries during short circuit conditions, a current interrupt may be positioned within an anode conductive path. The current interrupt may comprise a thermoplastic substrate having a low glass transition temperature, and having a conductive coating thereon to form a portion of the anode conductive path. During a short circuit, the temperature within the battery increases above the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic substrate, thereby causing the current interrupt to deform, thereby degrading the portion of the anode conductive path defined by the current interrupt, decreasing the amount of current flowing through the anode conductive path, and effectively limiting the temperature increase within the battery interior.

Abstract: A penile sleeve device (PSD) that is an implantable subcutaneous penile shaft silicone rubber apparatus which has several functions such as to elongate, thicken, harden, straighten and custom shape a penis. The PSD has an elongated main component of stretchable elastic silicone elastomer into which an inner component of a much higher durometer silicone rubber material is positioned to provide the PSD with some rigidity. The main component is the only portion in contact with the penile shaft since the inner component resides within a pocket of the main component that is formed by two layers therein. The outside surface of these layers may include folds to assist in enhancing penile girth and lengthening. A penile stocking insert is also provided for increasing the length of the penis it is flaccid or erect state using an elongated tubular body constructed from an elastic material which applies a compressive force around the penile shaft, thus elongating the length of the penis.

In the second flow path, a first fluid stream goes between the first and third ports, and a second fluid stream goes between the fourth and second ports. The purge fluid supplied to the plenum creates a positive pressure fluid barrier that prevents or minimizes cross-contamination of the two fluid streams through the diverter. Also provided is a regenerative thermal oxidizer that includes such a fluid flow diverter.
