Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for the production of a jacketed penetrator having a tungsten, tungsten alloy or depleted uranium core and a metallic jacket, which process comprises placing the core inside the jacket and explosively welding the jacket on the core.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method, apparatus and system for enabling and disabling voltage regulator controllers are generally presented. In this regard, a sequencer agent is introduced to selectively enable or disable the outputs of voltage regulator controllers in an electronic appliance based at least in part on settings stored in non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are discussed and claimed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a connector mounted on the PCB, and an integrated circuit (IC) package for insertion into the connector. The IC package includes a plurality of lands having a varied pitch distance.

Abstract: A split cylindrical clamp encloses inner ends of grip bars of a folding handlebar to hold the grip bars in a firm, stationary, and strong riding position. A single user gesture flips a clamp lever to loosen the split cylindrical clamp allows the grip bars to be slid outward and folded to a folded position. The split cylindrical clamp is then tightened with another single gesture, flipping the clamp lever in an opposite direction, locking the grip bars in the folded position. While locked in the folded position, the grip bars are entirely immobilized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to (a) variable regions of heavy and light chains of an antibody specific to a surface antigen in sporozoite of Eimeria spp.; (b) a recombinant scFV (single chain variable fragment) antibody prepared using the variable regions; (c) a method for preparing a recombinant scFv antibody; and (d) an expression vector for expressing a recombinant scFv antibody.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite material, manufactured by dynamic densification of an amount of granular or powdered relatively brittle material or a mixture of one or more of such materials, wherein a continuous porous product is obtained, whereafter, by infiltration thereof with a second material, the brittle material particles are embedded in a continuous network of the second material. The invention further relates to a composite comprising ceramic particles embedded in a continuous matrix of a second material, obtainable by a method according to the invention, and to products manufactured from such composite.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides a running tool which can be released using hydraulic pressure and can provide continued rotation to a liner hanger or other tool disposed below and rotationally connected to the running tool. In one aspect, a hydraulic assembly is provided to release a thrusting cap from rotation so that a threaded connection between the running tool and the liner hanger can be released. On release of the liner hanger, a lock nut travels down a threaded surface of the thrusting cap and engages the thrusting cap to continue rotation through the thrusting cap. Additionally, the running tool may include a mechanical release operable without the assistance of hydraulic pressure.

Abstract: A method and system provide for selectively distributing communications between an application and multiple servers, allowing cooperative use of a single copy of an application. The system is situated between an application and the multiple servers. Requests from the application, responses to the requests, and events from the multiple servers, are managed in such a way that each server believes it is connected directly to the application and the application believes it is connected directly to a single server. The requests are categorized and distributed to the servers based on the type of request. The responses to these requests may be sent to the application or discarded based on the type of request and the role of the server sending the request. The events are also categorized and, based on the role of the server causing the event, they may be passed on to the application or discarded.

Abstract: A new overload protection device has been invented of the type in which components are fixed mutually by means of a safety member adapted to be cut or broken when the components are subjected to an overload, wherein the safety member is a thread spiral or spirals adapted to be cut loose from a member, rod or sleeve when the thread spiral (or spirals) is subjected to an overload.
