  • Patent number: 8939883
    Abstract: A blood pump assembly includes a blood pump configured for implantation and a cable assembly for providing power and control signals to the blood pump. The cable assembly includes a strain relief assembly and a driveline. The strain relief assembly secures the cable assembly to the blood pump and has an outer surface that is curved along a longitudinal extent of the strain relief assembly at least along an outer peripheral side of the outer surface.

  • Patent number: 8196137
    Abstract: Techniques for auto provisioning and publication of applications are described. The auto provisioning process enables automatic installation of applications having their respective file packages pre-stored in the server. Subsequently, publication of these applications is conducted automatically. By employing such an automatic process, the latency involved in provisioning and publication of remote applications is reduced, thereby making the process more efficient.

  • Patent number: 7747785
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a standardized way to interact with and extend instant messaging applications. A platform is provided and enables developers and other third parties to create extensions for instant messaging applications. Through a set of APIs, interacting applications or plug-ins are “sandboxed” in their own areas where they are unable to perform unpermitted or unauthorized actions. The plug-in platform or architecture is integrated with the platform of the instant messaging application and can allow developers to create plug-ins that can interact with a local user and their buddies. Any number of various types of plug-ins can be developed and incorporated into the instant messaging application in a standardized manner.

  • Patent number: 7568008
    Abstract: Journaling e-mail messages, containing information about an e-mail message and/or entities associated with the e-mail messages, are sent to journaling mailboxes. An e-mail server sends an original journaling e-mail message, preferably through an envelope protocol extension, to an entity's journaling mailbox. Upon detecting additional recipients of the e-mail message (e.g. an expansion of a distribution list or alternate recipient forwarding rule) the e-mail server sends an additional journaling e-mail message, containing information about the additional recipients, to the entity's journaling mailbox.

  • Patent number: 7552179
    Abstract: E-mail envelope journaling. A server determines that an entity's (e.g., a recipient revealed from an expanded distribution list) home mailbox store has envelope journaling enabled and specifies a journaling mailbox address. The server sets a journaling property in an e-mail message identifying that the e-mail message is to be journaled. The server adds the journaling mailbox address specified by the entity's home mailbox store to the journaling property. The server sends envelope journaling information through an envelope protocol extension to the journaling mailbox addresses specified in the journaling property. The server sends the e-mail message to one or more recipients specified in the e-mail message and journaling mailbox addresses specified in the journaling property. Journaling servers receiving envelope journaling information, place journaling information in archive messages, and attach portions e-mail messages to archive messages.

  • Publication number: 20030059292
    Abstract: An energy-converting apparatus is provided, which is capable of converting water current energy into usable energy. The apparatus is typically submerged in a body of water, where at least some of the water is moving as a water current. The apparatus includes at least one energy-converting module that is pressurized at a pre-determined internal pressure sufficient to offset the external pressure of the body of water in which the energy-converting module is submerged. In addition, the energy-converting module includes at least one turbine, at least one exit port, and at least one intake system. The intake system includes an entrance end and an exit end, where the water flowing in the water current enters the entrance end of the intake system. Thereafter, the water is accelerated as the water travels from the entrance end to the exit end of the intake system. The exit end directs the accelerated water onto an extension of the turbine causing the turbine to rotate and produce mechanical energy.

  • Patent number: 5401050
    Abstract: The machinery transport trailer (10) includes a main frame (12) with a pair of fore and aft extending parallel beams (34 and 36). A pair of axle assemblies (14) support the rear of the main frame (12) transverse beams (22) are attached to the bottom of the main frame (12) to provide a support platform. A torque tube (48) is attached to the front ends of the parallel beams (34 and 36) of the main frame (12). A goose neck (16) with right and left beam assemblies and a transverse frame member 58 are connected to the torque tube (48). The goose neck (16) defines an open area (66) which is sufficiently wide to allow the elevator of a combine harvester separator 24 that is being transported to pass between the right and left beam assemblies and to allow the front wheels 30 of a combine harvester separator to move forward to a position at the front of the main frame 12.

  • Patent number: 4197212
    Abstract: This application discloses a solvent based nail polish remover comprising 85.0 to 99.5% acetone or ethyl acetate solvent and 0.5 to 15% gelling agent, preferably hydroxypropyl cellulose acetate gelling agent. The gelled remover has a viscosity of 1,000 to 10,000 centipoise and possesses little odor due to the low rate of solvent evaporation when compared to acetone alone. The consistency of the gel allows it to be packaged in a collapsible tube to avoid breakage or spillage. The process includes the steps of adding the gelling agent to the acetone or ethyl acetate solvent after the addition of the other ingredients.
