Abstract: A cryogenic liquid sampling system including a chamber having affixed therein a sample pump to pull a cryogenic liquid sample from an external source and an enclosure. The enclosure includes a supply port to receive an input stream of a gas, an input port connected to the chamber via a vacuum line, a sample pump port connected to the chamber via a pump line and configured to feed therethrough gas received at the supply port to the sample pump, a vacuum device connected to the input port and configured to generate a vacuum within the chamber by pulling air from the vacuum line, and processing circuitry to control the vacuum device and the sample pump to perform transfer of a cryogenic liquid sample from the external source to an external device.

Abstract: A multi-stage pressure regulation system, device and associated methodology for reducing the pressure of gas passing through a gas sample conditioning system. The device and method allow for automatic and/or manual configuration settings for regulating different types of gas having different profiles while still avoiding dew point dropout thereby ensuring accurate sample analysis at a downstream analyzer. The pressure regulating device includes a housing having a core, a vapor sample input port, a plurality of openings on an upper surface, a plurality of pressure regulating valves configured to reduce the pressure of a vapor sample, and an assembly having a base and substantially central stem orthogonal to the base and extending axially therefrom, the stem being disposed within the core.

Abstract: Dynamically allocated memory is managed in real-time. This real-time management capability enables an invalid access of the dynamically allocated memory to be detected at the time the invalid access occurs, rather than at some later point in time. This real-time management capability can be dynamically activated/deactivated on a per process basis.

Abstract: A spinous process spacer implant for relief of back pain is disclosed. The implant, a generally H-shaped device having grooved ends, is made of human allograft or other suitable artificial or natural material. It is sized for implantation between and optional attachment to adjacent spinous processes. The implant may be hollow in the center to allow for addition of suitable biological material.

Abstract: An occupancy sensor device has a housing with a neck entry affording a light path to a recessed sensor. The interior of the light path has properties of reflection and/or refraction to improve effective field of view of the sensor. A tubular member as the neck can be angularly adjustable for selective electrical connection to a circuit board carrying the sensor and contacts at its end. That board can be clamped in slots in an inner part of the housing. Fitting to a barrier can be aided by clenching action of a spring member apertured to group an outer housing part when relaxed.

Abstract: Scorekeeping means for computing bowling scores is provided having positionable input switches, one for each possible ball to be rolled, for recording ball-by-ball pinfall, strikes and spares; a computing device selectively energized to calculate individual player and team scores from information present in the input switches; a device for displaying ball and mark information and a running frame score total for each player as well as a running team score total all updated substantially concurrently with the selective energization of the computing device through the last frame completed by each player; and a printer selectively energizable and coordinated with the computing device to print out a history of the player and team games from the information present in the input switches at the completion of a game; wherein for each and every selective energization of the computing device the entire game history up to the point of the last completed frame for each and every player is completely recomputed, thereby p
