  • Adjustable rod
    Patent number: 9890898
    Abstract: A telescopic rod contains a first element, and a second element, and a locking mechanism. The first element is in the form of a hollow tube with an interior wall. The second element is arranged slidingly along a longitudinal axis within the first element. The locking mechanism is coupled with the second element to lock the relative position of the second element with regard to the first element. The locking mechanism includes a clamp washer to be moved between a locking position and an unlocked position it is located in an angular position axis. An angle of the clamp wash in the unlocked position with regard to the longitudinal is smaller than that in the locking position. An edge of the clamp washer meshes with the interior wall in the locking position, so that a frictional connection is formed between the edge and the interior wall.

  • Object guide having a variable motion path
    Patent number: 9841660
    Abstract: An object guide having a variable motion path includes a connecting seat, a first motion unit, a second motion unit, an adjustment unit and a drive unit. The adjustment unit is disposed on the connecting seat, and the second connecting portion of the first connecting arm and the fourth connecting portion of the second connecting arm are disposed at the same position, the first adjustment portion of the first adjustment arm and the second adjustment portion of the second adjustment arm are also located at the same position and simultaneously moved by the adjustment unit. Therefore, simply adjusting the adjustment unit can simultaneously adjust the first adjustment portion and the second adjustment portion to the straight line position, the outward curvature position, or the inward curvature position, which make the adjustment convenient, and the displacement curvatures for moving the object are asymmetrical.

  • MAGNETIC ROTATION RESTRICTING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160266601
    Abstract: A magnetic rotation restricting device includes a support unit, a rotary unit, a magnetic unit enabling the support unit and the rotary unit to be magnetically attracted to each other; and a restricting unit. With the arrangement of magnetic attraction, and the engagement of the toothed portions and the threaded portion, and the restricted space, the structure of the magnetic rotation restricting device is very stable, and therefore suitable for use in an assembly member which needs to be used under high speed environment (such as extreme sports). Besides, only the restricting unit needs to be released when adjusting the angle of the assembly member, and a restricting force (the magnetic force) will be produced during angle adjustment to prevent inertia-caused uncontrolled rotation of the assembly member, so as to enhance the precision of adjustment.

  • Web site implementation by mapping expression evaluation
    Patent number: 8645490
    Abstract: Web sites are modeled using mappings from paths to expressions. A mapping data structure of expressions represents a web site's hierarchical structure, and an enumerator, an array of characters, or an array of bytes represents the web site's content. Expressions are written in a declarative programming language, and are lazily evaluated to provide results used in HTTP responses. A mapping may be recursive. An expression may contain a function call which returns contents of a file named in the HTTP request path, or the expression may evaluate to a text string, for example. Expressions may call functions which produce side-effects. An expression may recursively map a directory name to a mapping of a file name. Scalability is promoted by concurrently evaluating expression(s) on different machines in a stateless middle tier, and by streaming results. An arbitrarily large web site may be implemented in this manner.

  • Mechanism for binding a structured data protocol to a protocol offering up byte streams
    Patent number: 8533357
    Abstract: A mechanism for sending structured data using a corresponding byte stream. Upon accessing structured data such as a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) envelope, a byte stream is generated. The byte stream includes bytes that represent the structured data, as well as a collection of bytes that represents properties about the byte stream such as, for example, a mode of communication. The byte stream may then be passed to a communication module (e.g., a TCP or Named Pipes module) capable of receiving and transmitting the byte stream.

  • Flexibly transferring typed application data
    Patent number: 8296354
    Abstract: The present invention extends to using Simple Object Access Protocol (“SOAP”) to exchange typed objects, such as, for example, parameters for invoking methods. A computer system accesses typed object parameters corresponding to a typed object. The typed object is annotated with one or more message contract attributes of a message contract model defining a mapping between typed object parameters and corresponding SOAP elements. The computer system utilizes the message contract attributes to map the typed object parameters into a SOAP element and inserts the SOAP element into a SOAP envelope. A receiving computer system accessing the SOAP element and utilizes the message contract attributes to map the SOAP element back into the typed object parameters.

  • Transparent envelope for XML messages
    Patent number: 8190975
    Abstract: Transforming portions of a message to a destination via a communication protocol. A message is received. It is detected whether the received message includes an encoded envelope. The encoded envelope includes a stack defining parameters including information for handling the received message in an original format. If the received message includes the encoded envelope, the defined parameters are transformed to coded parameters in a common format. The coded parameters express the same information for handling the received message in the communication protocol. The encoded envelope is encapsulated in the received message, and the received message in the common format is delivered to the destination. If the received message does not include an encoded envelope, coded parameters are generated in the common format for the received message by encoding addressing information from the received message. The received message having the coded parameters in the common format is delivered to the destination.

  • Message delivery downgrading annotations
    Patent number: 7836172
    Abstract: Selectively modifying a message delivery requirement of a datagram message at an intermediary network node between an origin and a destination. A message delivery requirement is defined for a particular message. The message delivery guarantee defines how to transmit the particular message. A downgrading intent of the particular message is provided for the message at the origin. The downgrading intent of the particular message indicates that the message delivery requirement can be bypassed. The defined message delivery guarantee, the network delivery requirement, and the provided downgrading intent of the particular message are processed at the intermediate network node. The message delivery requirement of the particular message is ignored based on the provided downgrading intent. The message is delivered via a network protocol according to the provided downgrading intent.
