Abstract: An improved bowl for a water pipe which has both a venturi port for providing vaporized herbs into the stem of the water bowl as well as a fresh are intake port for providing mixing air which dilutes the concentration of the vaporized herb which is inhaled by the smoker. The improved water pipe bowl of the is primarily comprised of a bowl section where the medicinal marijuana oil or other substance can be placed; a venturi port located in close proximity to the substance to be vaporized, connecting the bowl section and the stem of the water pipe; and a fresh air intake port, located substantially away from the substance to be vaporized or the vaporized substance, connecting the stem of the water pipe and fresh air supply.

Abstract: A pipe guide adapter adds marking slots and marking edges to a pipe guide. The pipe guide adapter includes two body sections joined by a hinge enabling the pipe guide adapter to be in open and closed positions. The body sections each include a gripping end and a marking section. The gripping end has a diameter greater than the diameter of the pipe guide to circumferentially grip a portion of the pipe guide in the closed position and to attach to the pipe guide. A pipe is circumferentially gripped jointly by the pipe guide and the pipe guide adapter. A hinge pin is partially disposed in the hinge and extends beyond the hinge. The hinge pin allows tie pipe guide adapter to be aligned to the pipe guide. The extended portion of the hinge pin acts as a stop and a spacer between the pipe guide adapter and the pipe guide.

Abstract: An adjustable gate latch assembly for a fence gate is adapted to close against a fence post. The gate latch assembly includes a gate latch body including an extended plate section and a cantilever plate section joined by a curved intermediate section. At least part of the curved intermediate section is corrugated. The cantilever plate section extends at a second angle from a second edge of the curved intermediate section. The curved intermediate section is adapted to receive a fence gate pipe. A latch clamp includes a plurality of curved protruberants at a first end and an opening proximate to a second end. At least a part of the latch clamp is corrugated. A plurality of adjustment slots are formed on the extended plate section to selectively receive the curved protruberants to anchor the first end of the latch clamp to the extended plate section. An opening is formed on the cantilever plate section.

Abstract: To check transmission resources of a packet-oriented communication network on a topology change, a resource manager checks a reservation of the transmission resources based on the topology data relating to the topology of the communication network. Upon a topology change of the communication network, topology change information is transferred to the resource manager. The resource manager records new topology data which relates to the changed topology of the communication network. Based on the new topology data, the resource manager maps an existing reservation of the transmission resources to the changed topology of the communication network.

Abstract: A pipe guide includes a pipe receiving body comprising two sections. The two sections are joined by a hinge to allow the pipe-receiving body to be opened and closed about a pipe. The pipe-receiving body circumferentially surrounds a pipe in a closed position. The pipe receiving body includes one or more marking slots. The marking slots allow the pipe inside the pipe-receiving body to be marked in a predetermined pattern. The pipe guide includes a hinged disposed longitudinally on the exterior of the pipe receiving body. A device disposed inside the hinge retains the pipe-receiving body in a closed position around the pipe. The pipe receiving body is cylindrical having first and second ends. The first end can be substantially perpendicular to the axis of the pipe receiving body and configured to allow the pipe to be marked at a 90 degree angle. The first end can be at any other angle (e.g., 45 degree, 22 ½ degree) or can have a predetermined shape or a pattern. The second end can have a predetermined shape (e.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a novel soybean variety, designated XB43V04. This invention thus relates to the seeds of soybean variety XB43V04, to the plants of soybean XB43V04, to plant parts of soybean variety XB43V04 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing soybean variety XB43V04 with another soybean plant, using XB43V04 as either the male or the female parent. This invention also relates to methods for introgressing a transgenic or mutant trait into soybean variety XB43V04 and to the soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to soybean varieties or breeding varieties and plant parts derived from soybean variety XB43V04, to methods for producing other soybean varieties or plant parts derived from soybean variety XB43V04 and to the soybean plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods.
