Abstract: A gas system includes a container, a fitting, a gas tube, adsorbent, and a filter. The container stores gas under pressure. The fitting covers an opening of the container and maintains a seal with the opening of the container. The gas tube is inserted through a bore in the fitting such that a length of a portion of the gas tube inside of the container is at least one half of a length of the container. The portion of the gas tube in the container includes holes. The adsorbent is in a particulate form and adsorbs gas in the container. The filter covers the holes in the portion of the gas tube in the container. The filter permits passage of gas into and out of the gas tube and prevents passage of the adsorbent into the gas tube.

Abstract: A primary group may be swapped with a synchronous backup group where triangular asynchronous replication is being provided between the primary group, the synchronous backup group and an asynchronous backup group. Swapping may include halting work at the primary group, transferring pending mirrored data from the primary group to an asynchronous backup group, creating a data mirroring relationship between a storage volume at the synchronous backup group and a storage volume at the asynchronous backup group, reversing a data mirroring relationship between the storage volume at the primary group and the storage volume at the synchronous backup group, and resuming work at the asynchronous backup group.

Abstract: A casket assembly includes a casket body, lid, and insert. The body may be arranged in at least two configurations, one of which is a low profile arrangement that allows for a reduced shipping volume. The insert is made from a leak resistant material, and fits inside the casket body. The profile of the shipping configuration is not altered when the insert is in place. The lid fits both configurations of the casket body. Handholds on the casket are spaced off-center to better distribute the weight of the contents.

Abstract: An assemblable body board is formed from a blank made from a sheet of a bendable or foldable material, such as fiberboard. The blank includes a center panel, opposite side panels and opposite end panels, wherein the side and end panels are foldable to form a rectangular construct at the bottom face of the center panel. Each side and end panel includes a reinforcement beam, with each beam including holes at its opposite end for receiving a cable tie. A cable tie is provided at each corner so that when the cable ties are tightened the side and end panels converge to form a corner of the body board. A pair of cable ties also span the width of the center panel and maintain the side panels in their perpendicular orientation when the body board is assembled. The side panels define hand-hold cut-outs and flaps that allow medical personnel to grasp the body board, bearing against the side reinforcement beams.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting wound flexible media that includes a first flange, a second flange and a fastener. The second flange may be constructed as an integral, unitary structure. A core around which flexible media is wound is typically disposed between the first flange and the second flange. The first fastener has a first end engaging the first flange and a threaded end that is rotatably secured directly to said second flange.

Abstract: Storing recovery data includes providing chunks of data to a remote destination, where each chunk of data represents data written before a first time and after a second time and where the second time for one of the particular chunks corresponds to a first time for a subsequent one of the particular chunks, providing synchronous data to a local destination, and providing an indicator to the local destination in connection with creation of a new chunk of data for storage at the remote destination. The local destination may maintain a plurality of maps, where each of the maps associates synchronous data being provided thereto with a specific chunk of data. In response to receiving an indicator in connection with creation of a new chunk of data, the local destination may point to a new map. There may be two maps or more than two maps.
