Abstract: A fluid-based cooling device for cooling at least two distinct first heat-generating elements of a heat source assembly is provided. The heat source assembly is in thermal contact with the fluid-based cooling device. The fluid-based cooling device comprises a first plate, a heat sink structure and a second plate. The first plate is configured for thermally contacting the heat source assembly. The heat sink structure is arranged on or in the first plate. The second plate is configured for directing a flow of a cooling fluid to the heat sink structure. The second plate is arranged on the heat sink structure. The heat sink structure comprises at least two heat sink structure portions each corresponding to an associated one of the at least two distinct first heat-generating elements. The second plate comprises at least two fluid inlet opening regions, wherein each of the fluid inlet opening regions is associated with a corresponding heat sink structure portion of the at least two heat sink structure portions.

Abstract: A breath alcohol concentration measurement system for use in monitoring the breath alcohol concentration of individuals, other than the primary owner, comprising, measuring breath alcohol concentration with an alcohol sensor, sending the data to a processor and representing the data qualitatively with a means of visual, auditory, or tactile sensory output that is integrated with a decorative ornamentation.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for tracking, monitoring, projecting and reporting billing information. One embodiment is related to a computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions that are executable by a processor, the set of instructions being operable to receive billing data from at least one billing process, analyze changes in the at least one billing process, monitor the at least one billing process for an occurrence of time-based events, reconcile unique identifiers within the billing data to verify data integrity, generate a billing report based on the changes, the time-based events and data integrity, and audit the billing report for format errors.

Abstract: Incoming bit stream is processed by a single state machine into a circular buffer. Circular buffer accumulates subunits of data to form a major data unit. State machine recognizes the start of major data unit and flags the location of the major data unit in the circular buffer.

Abstract: Optical transducers disposed on an integrated circuit correspond to test points thereon. The state of optical transducers perceived by an optical sensor is correlated to test points. Alignment of the optical sensor relative to the optical transducers is accomplished electronically or mechanically.

Abstract: State of test points on an integrated circuit are encapsulated in a telemetry frame that is wirelessly conveyed to a test system. Test points may be logic levels or analog levels converted into representative multi-bit values. Conveyance off the circuit may be by radio frequency or optical emission.

Abstract: A new trowel holding lid for storing a trowel when not in use. The inventive device includes a base having upper and lower surfaces. A wall is extended from the upper surface of the base and defines an interior space. The wall has a top edge which defines an upper opening into the interior space. A cover has upper and lower faces with the lower face resting on the top edge of the wall such that the cover substantially covers the upper opening into the interior space.

Abstract: A new bag carrying device for carrying multiple bags, particularly plastic grocery bags. The inventive device includes an elongate top portion spaced apart from an elongate bottom portion. An elongate first side portion is extended between the top portion and the bottom portion. An elongate second side portion is extended from the top portion towards the bottom portion and is spaced apart from the first side portion. The second side portion has a root and a free end, the root of the second side portion is positioned adjacent an end of the top portion while the free end of the second side portion is extended towards the bottom portion. The adjacent end of the bottom portion has a tab extending therefrom towards the top portion. The free end of the second side portion is biased towards the tab. The root of the second side portion is resiliently deflectable such that the free end of the second side portion may be deflected away from tab.

Abstract: Derrick mounted apparatus for the manipulation of lengths of pipe in or out of one or more finger boards in proximity thereto comprising a pipe manipulating arm adapted to move along a single predetermined line and a pipe gripping hand rotatably attached to one end of the pipe manipulating arm, the pipe gripping hand being capable of accepting and discharging pipe in an angular direction with respect to the line of movement of the arm.

Abstract: A pipe handling apparatus for transporting pipe, drill collars, or similar elongate members between the elevated drilling floor of a well derrick and a lower storage area is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a pair of support cables forming a cable track extending between the rig floor and the storage area with a rear bucket that receives and holds the lower end of the pipe riding on the support cables. The rear bucket is movable along the cable track by a third cable which controls the transporting of the pipe from the rig to the storage area in a pipe lay-down operation. A series of support buckets is anchored proximate the rig floor and is extendable along the cable track as the pipe is being transported, providing support to the intermediate portion of the pipe.

Abstract: A tubing spreader mechanism for positioning vertically disposed tubing strings in a multiple completion well to maintain them in a desired center-to-center alignment. The tubing spreader has a support member designed to mount on top of a multi-string spider. An adjustable roller assembly is mounted to the support member and engages the tubing strings placing them in the desired center-to-center alignment with the spider. The tubing spreader mechanism can be used with tubing strings of identical diameters or different diameters.
