Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first message is received on a service bus which supports a plurality of disparate client applications and a plurality of disparate services. The message may be parsed to determine a requesting client application from the plurality of disparate client applications where the requesting client application is associated with one or more of the plurality of disparate services. Metadata associated with the first message may be retrieved that indicates a program identification associated with the client application and the first message may be routed to a first service from the plurality of services based on the program identification. A response may be also be received from the first service and the response may be transmitted to the requesting client application.

Abstract: A system for and method of evaluating a log. The system includes an analysis module having at least one input terminal connectable to the at least one input device. The at least one input terminal is operable to receive at least one signal representing at least one measured property of the log and at least one determined parameter of the log determined in response to an energy being applied to the log. The analysis module further includes a processor coupled to the at least one input terminal. The processor determines a predictive modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the log based at least in part on the at least one measured property and the at least one sensed parameter. The analysis module also includes an output terminal coupled to the processor and connectable to an output device. The output terminal transmits a third signal representing the predictive MOE.

Abstract: A flight lug is provided for releasable attachment to a conveyor belt. The lug comprises a base and first and second side walls mounted to opposite edge surfaces of the base such that the base extends between and interconnects the side walls intermediate upper and lower ends of the side walls. Flanges extend inwardly from adjacent the lower ends of the side walls. Each flange defines a slot between the flange and the lower surface of the base for receiving an edge of the belt. The first side wall is pivotally attached to the base for movement relative to the base between a first position where the flange on the lower end of the first side wall is spaced a first distance from the flange on the lower end of the second side wall for allowing the belt to fit between the flanges, and a second position where the flanges on the side walls are spaced apart a second distance which is less than the width of the belt for capturing the belt in the slots between the side walls.

Abstract: A blocking system intercepts communications between a software program and an operating system in order to handle blocking and unblocking of event signals. The blocking system intercepts system calls to the operating system requesting the blocking and unblocking of event signals and keeps track of which event signals are blocked and unblocked without delivering the system calls to the operating system. The blocking system also intercepts event signals from the operating system and only allows unblocked event signals to pass to the software program. Blocked event signals received by the blocking system are discarded until the program unblocks the blocked event signals. After unblocking an event signal, the blocking system determines whether a corresponding event signal was previously received and blocked. If so, the blocking system transmits a signal indicating that the event corresponding to the event signal occurred.

Abstract: A crab pot provided with a plurality of entrance tunnels each having a rectangular opening frame, utilizes the top rod of the opening frame to pivotally support a plurality of wire trigger fingers which extend vertically downward for abutment against the bottom rod of the opening frame. Pairs of such trigger fingers are formed of a single length of wire coiled intermediate its ends about the top rod of the opening frame to form a pair of pivots for the fingers, the intermediate length of wire between the coils forming legs extending downward from the coils and joined together by a span of the wire. The trigger fingers are urged gravitationally toward the position closing the rectangular tunnel opening. A limit rod projects from the top rod of the opening frame to intercept the span of wire and limit opening movement of the trigger fingers to less than 180.degree..
