Abstract: A satellite crash sensor for a motor vehicle occupant restraint system that provides multi-stage deploy signaling in a manner that detects a second stage deploy crash event having an initial velocity rise followed by a loss of velocity that delays the continuation of the velocity rise. The sensor derives a velocity value from an accelerometer signal. The initiation of a possible crash event is detected and a clock count indicating a time progression into the event is initiated. A constant second stage threshold value and data defining a first stage threshold varying as function of the clock count are stored. Only for a time indicated by a first predetermined value of the clock count, a second stage datum is stored if the velocity exceeds the second stage threshold value.

Abstract: A flow conditioning plate for interposition in a flow line has a pattern of apertures which introduces a flow irregularity characteristic of a commonly encountered irregular flow in a plant, such as the disturbance introduced by one or more junctions or fittings in the upstream flow path. The apertures may introduce a specific flow distribution, asymmetry of flow profile or swirl component, and these may be tuned to simulate a plant condition that occurs downstream of one or more bends, elbows or T junctions. The disturbance persists, or evolves in a known way for a well defined distance along the flow path to simulate field flow conditions, and a flow meter is tested or calibrated in the disturbed segment, preferably at a defined position, under known flow to produce a calibration table. The meter may then be later installed to measure the irregular flow in an unconditioned flow line at a plant.

Abstract: A system and method for providing transaction indivisibility in a transaction processing system through the use of commonly-accessible modules for monitoring and maintaining proper source message sequencing is provided. A source message is transmitted from the host processing unit upon recovery of a failure of the host processing unit, where the source message includes information destined for the database, and an identifying sequence number. The identifying sequence number is compared to a stored sequence number, where the stored sequence number is associated with an immediately preceding source message received prior to the failure of the host processing unit. A source message indivisibility failure is indicated where the identifying sequence number is not consecutive with respect to the stored sequence number, while the source message is added to a message execution queue if the identifying sequence number is consecutive with respect to the stored sequence number.

Abstract: A system and method for assembling database restoration data according to transaction in a transaction processing system. Database restoration data is collated by chronologically storing updated database records in distinct storage banks partitioned according to its corresponding transaction. Resulting database record blocks from storage banks associated with completed database transactions are queued in the order that their corresponding transactions were completed. The queued database record blocks are transferred to storage media, whereby the queued database record blocks are arranged on the storage media according to transaction, and in the order that the active transactions were completed.

Abstract: A grill spatula includes a spatula head having a distal food handling portion and a proximal shank portion. The food handling portion defines a plurality of spaced apart fingers and a continuous plate section located between the fingers and the proximal shank portion. The fingers are sized and spaced apart so that they can be inserted between rods of a grill. The entire upper side of the food handling portion of the spatula head is flat. A heat resistant handle is fixed to the shank portion of the spatula head and extends proximally away from the shank portion. The arrangement allows the spatula head to be more easily slid under a food item and facilitates easy removal of food items from a grill without damaging the food item.

Abstract: A signal transducer mounts to a straight tube to measure the flow velocity of fluid flowing therein. The transducer operates at a frequency above cut-off allowing multiple modes to exist, and is mounted with a wedge of material having a sound speed less than the sound speed of the fluid, coupled to the conduit, and angled to launch a signal into the fluid at an acceptance angle that sends the lowest order mode acoustic signal axially through the fluid. Extraneous modes present at generally lesser magnitude convert to the desired mode, resulting in propagation of a coherent burst that is readily detected by a receiving transducer located further along the conduit. The wedge may be formed of hard plastic such as an acrylic, PVC or PEI having a shear wave velocity less than 1400 meters per second, and the launch geometry results in the attenuation, mode conversion or cancellation of higher mode signal energy components.
