Abstract: An apparatus (2100), including: a hasp (2104) configured to retain a staple therein when in an engaged position (2106); an actuator (2110) that is biased toward a locking position (2112) configured to lock the hasp in the engaged position, where once the hasp is moved into the engaged position the actuator can reach the locking position; an actuator weight (2130) configured to move under the influence of gravity once the apparatus is tilted from an upright orientation by more than an actuator weight threshold amount and to disengage the actuator from the hasp upon reaching an unlocking position (2136) with sufficient force; and a time delay lock assembly (2150) configured to be initiated when the apparatus is tilted from the upright orientation by a time delay lock threshold amount of tilt and configured to prevent movement of the actuator weight only after an initiation and a time delay.

Abstract: An instruction pipeline includes a circuit that can generate a hardware event to indicate conditional branches, including the direction of taken branches. The circuit can generate a forward conditional branch indicator for an opcode when a conditional branch is taken to a forward location from the opcode. The instruction pipeline includes a counter to increment in response to the forward conditional branch indicator, which will indicate a frequency of forward conditional branches for the opcode.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel spherical agglomeration method for proteins, and protein particles made by the spherical agglomeration method. By using continuous oscillatory baffled crystallizer, the method of the present disclosure is capable of maintain the biologically activities and providing protein particles with an average particle size between 1-500 ?m.

Abstract: A hasp assembly (200), having: a hasp (302) that engages a staple (404); an actuator (320) that retains the hasp in an engaged position; a first passage (410) and a first element (802) therewithin; and a second passage (412) and a second element (418) therewithin. A linear length of the second passage (L2) is greater than a linear length (L1) of the first passage. When in a tilted orientation (800) the first element is urged by gravity along the first passage and impact of the first element on the actuator releases the hasp, and the second element is urged by gravity along the second passage toward a terminal position (712) where the second element blocks the first element.

Abstract: An apparatus, having: a staple (404); and a hasp assembly (200) including: a chamber (412) including a home position (430) and a release passage (414); and a release element (328) disposed in the release passage. Forward rotation of the hasp assembly from an upright orientation (208) about a first horizontal axis (220) allows the kinetic element to move under the influence of gravity from the home position into the release passage and into contact with the release element, thereby releasing the staple.

Abstract: An apparatus, having: a first hinge part (10) including: a first plate (11); a second plate (13) with two projections defining a recess therebetween; and a hinge pin (15) exposed in the recess between the two projections; and a second hinge part (20) including: a housing (21) with a u-shaped receiver (23) configured to partly fit between the two projections and to receive the hinge pin therein and enable the housing to rotate about the hinge pin. In a closed configuration when the first hinge part is secured to a cabinet (5) and to the second hinge part, and the second hinge part is assembled to a closed cabinet door (3), the closed cabinet door is disposed between the housing and the first plate and the u-shaped receiver opens forward and away from of the cabinet thereby trapping the closed cabinet door between the cabinet and the housing.

Abstract: An upper and lower garment disc-like dual connector and suspension device wherein the tucked-in upper garment, such as a shirt or blouse, is draped over and around and captured and held in the disc-like peripheral groove with a retainer device, leaving one disc surface area exposed to the outside of the upper garment for affixing any one of a myriad of fasteners, such as, Velcro, clips, buttons, snaps, hangers, etc., that attaches the upper garment to the lower garment such as pants, trousers, skirts, shorts, etc., behind and below the waistband, so that the upper garment becomes the suspenders of the lower garment. This easy-on, easy-off, transferrable, tucked-in apparel positive connection and suspension concept provides; suspension support of the lower garment, a neat tucked-in appearance at all times, is comfortable to wear, and is not visible from view while maintaining the lower garment in the desired position around the waist.

Abstract: An apparatus is presented for locking a lid to a body of a container. The apparatus includes a movable latch to open and close the lid. The apparatus also includes a strike positioned relative to the latch to lock the lid in a closed position and pivotally connected to a housing to move relative to the latch for opening the lid. The apparatus further includes a block slidably disposed within the housing to move between a first position when the container is in the upright or side position and a second position when the container is in the upside down position. The strike is operatively connected to the block to pivot to a first position to lock the lid to the body when the block is in its first position and to a second position to unlock the lid when the block is in its second position.
