Abstract: A method is provided for feeding small items, for example pills, that does not require tooling changes or position adjustment regardless of the size or shape of the pills. A first hopper supplies small items to a second hopper that separates the small items. The method incorporates sensors to detect the presence, size and travel time of the pills in the separating bowl hopper. The method uses the sensed values for setting vibration amplitude and the duration of an air flow to discharge pills from the apparatus.

Abstract: Techniques for redirecting a client request. The client request is received at a first server. The first server forwards the client request to a second server. The first server receives a result message from the second server. The first server identifies, in the result message, references to resources of the second server. The first server replaces, in the result message, all references to resources of the second server with translated references that reference the first server without replacing references to resources of any other entity other than the second server. The first server sends the translated references to the client as a response to the client request.

Abstract: A self-contained stretching apparatus with two ropes extending from a shoulder harness fitting over the mid-chest region to a foot receiving stirrup. Each rope has a separate handgrip. By putting one foot in the stirrup and pulling the handgrips, various muscles and tendons may be stretched as part of a warming up exercise.
