Various embodiments machine-render a source code skeleton in response to a selection of the code segment, incorporate the code segment into the source code skeleton to generate a temporary source file, insert a monitoring statement into the temporary source file, and compile the temporary source file into a compiled program to output a result. Embodiments may further include executing the compiled program and outputting the result. In addition, some embodiments also initiate compilation of the temporary source file, attempt to resolve a compilation error, and output the compilation error. Some embodiments terminate execution in response to selection of a cancel button. Further, some embodiments delete the temporary source file. Several embodiments also include a file creator, a code gatherer, a code generator, an adaptive compiler, a processor, and an output device.

Abstract: The Invention is an apparatus for displaying a medallion in an item of memorabilia. The item of memorabilia defines a cavity. A holder is configured to be contained within the cavity and defines a medallion-receiving opening selectably receiving the medallion. The holder contains an LED lamp oriented generally parallel to the display surface of the medallion. The LED lamp causes the relief of the medallion to cast a shadow on the display surface of the medallion. The lustrous metal of the medallion reflects light from the relief to an observer.

Abstract: The Invention is a memorabilia apparatus. Indicia are imprinted on a medallion using convention minting technology. An ice hockey puck or a model of a tire has a cavity adapted to receive and to support the medallion for display. The cavity of the puck or model of a tire exerts a pre-selected force upon the medallion over a pre-selected area, holding the medallion in place during handling while allowing a collector to release the medallion from the puck or model of the tire. Alternatively, resilient or spring retaining members releasably engage the puck or model of the tire and the medallion.

Abstract: A flow meter for measuring the volume of fluid flowing through the meter includes an inner cylindrical tube through which the fluid flows and an outer cylindrical tube tending over the inner cylindrical tube. The outer cylindrical tube is radially spaced from the cylindrical inner tube to provide an annular cylindrical space between the inner cylindrical tube and the outer cylindrical tube. A seal between the inner cylindrical tube and the outer cylindrical tube closes the annular cylindrical space adjacent ends of the annular cylindrical space. The inner cylindrical tube further defines at least one opening in a wall of the inner cylindrical tube to balance the fluid pressure in the annular cylindrical space with the pressure in the inner cylindrical tube.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing high frequency return current paths utilizing decoupling capacitors within electronic packages. Electronic package physical design data are received for identifying a board layout. For each of a plurality of cells in a grid of a set cell size within the identified board layout, a respective number of signal vias are identified. A ratio of signal vias to return current paths is calculated for each of the plurality of cells. Each cell having a calculated ratio greater than a target ratio is identified. One or more decoupling capacitors are selectively added within each of the identified cells to provide high frequency return current paths.

Abstract: A database engine and optimizer framework includes a decoder to identify and process SQL queries or statements that reference a UDF before they are executed. Once such a statement is detected, the decoder determines if the UDF is capable of being merged into an SQL statement and, if so, performs such a merge. In some embodiments, the decoder may not use a pre-cached version of the UDF but, instead, may include a component that locates and retrieves the latest version of the UDF for use when performing the merge. Also, for UDFs that cannot easily be merged into an SQL statement, the decoder may not merge the UDF into an SQL statement but may allow the optimizer and execution engine to retrieve and execute the UDF in the usual manner.

Abstract: A solid-state actuation mechanism for use in a data storage system. The actuation mechanism includes an anchor fixedly attached to a housing of the data storage system, a spring member including a first end coupled to the anchor, a suspension coupled to a second end of the spring member, the suspension supporting a data head above a media surface, the suspension being biased by the spring member toward a first position, and an actuation component coupled to the suspension. The actuation component configured to apply an actuation force to the suspension to move the suspension laterally relative to the media surface.

Abstract: A polymerization catalyst system, containing a specified ratio of two iron complexes of a bisimine of 2,6-diacylpyridine or a bisimine of a 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde which produce polyolefins of differing molecular weights, is useful for producing polyolefins, especially polyethylenes, which are particularly useful for blow molding.

Abstract: A tunable receiver is disclosed including a plurality of select filters to perform an initial band selection, a variable-gain low noise amplifier (LNA) whose gain is controlled to prevent its output power level to exceed a pre-determined power threshold, a plurality of digitally-tunable tracking filters to pass signals within a selected channel and to reject signals in a corresponding image band, a second LNA to further amplify the received RF signal and to generate differential signal outputs, a down converting stage which converts the received RF signal to an IF signal while rejecting signals in the image band, an IF trap to further reject undesired signals present at the output of the down converting stage, an IF amplifier to amplify the IF signal to compensate for losses, an IF filter to provide channel select and reject undesirable signals, and a variable-gain IF amplifier to amplify the IF signal and maintain its power level within specification.

Abstract: Higher trialkylaluminum compounds may be made by forming ?-olefin by oligomerizing ethylene using a transition metal containing catalyst, reacting the ?-olefins formed with a lower trialkylaluminum compound to form higher trialkylaluminum compound(s) These may optionally be oxidized, as with oxygen, to form higher trialkoxyaluminum compound, which in turn may be hydrolyzed to ?-alcohols. In one variation of the process lower ?-olefins and higher (relatively) ?-alcohols may be formed and isolated. Higher trialkylaluminum compounds and ?-alcohols are useful as chemical intermediates, while lower ?-olefins are useful as monomers for polyolefins.
