Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus, in the form of a package air conditioning unit (PAC) for conditioning air in a space. The space may comprise the interior space(s) of buildings such as hospitals, enclosed shopping malls, warehouses, factories, etc. The PAC comprises a first arrangement, in the form of a suction chamber for receiving an air stream from the space (e.g. return air) and discharging an air stream to the space (e.g. supply air). The PAC has a second arrangement, in the form of second chamber for receiving an air stream from outside the space (e.g. fresh air) and discharging an air stream to outside the space (e.g. exhaust air). The second chamber is configured to receive a portion of the return air via the suction chamber.

Abstract: A method for executing non-native instructions in a computing system having a processor configured to execute native instructions may include fetching a first non-native instruction from a plurality of non-native instructions; interpreting the first non-native instruction to generate a first instruction code; compiling the first instruction code to generate a first native instruction corresponding to the first non-native instruction; determining whether to execute the first instruction code or the generated first native instruction; and implementing a first virtual machine instruction corresponding to the first non-native instruction based, at least in part, on determining whether to execute the first instruction code or the first native instruction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for executing non-native instructions in a computing system having a processor configured to execute native instructions are provided. A dynamic translator uses instruction code translation in parallel with just-in-time (JIT) compilation to execute the non-native instructions. Non-native instructions may be interpreted to generate instruction codes, which may be stored in a shadow memory. During a subsequent scheduling of a non-native instruction for execution, the corresponding instruction code may be retrieved from the shadow memory and executed, thereby avoiding reinterpreting the non-native instruction. In addition, the JIT compiler may compile instruction codes to generate native instructions, which may be made available for execution, further speeding up the execution process.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a golf ball and, more particularly, a golf ball having a polybutadiene based core, a cover disposed about the core, and optionally an intermediate layer disposed between the core and the cover. In one embodiment, at least one or more portions of the core, cover, or intermediate layer comprises a blend of thermoplastic or thermoset material and about 1 to 10 pphr of a nanocrystalline cellulose material.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for automatically monitoring cash balancing transactions conducted by individuals responsible for a cash drawer to determine unique behaviors/patterns of such individuals that are abnormal to the overall population of cash drawer users. Such proactive monitoring of cash balancing transactions provides for suspicious activity to be identified at the onset of such activity. As such, the identified suspicious activity can be further investigated to determine the cause of the activity. Thus, by identifying the suspicious activity at an earlier stage, financial losses to the financial institution can be reduced and reputational risk can be minimized.

Abstract: An improved mechanically secured block building system generally for concrete masonry structures comprising a masonry block unit with a height and width essentially one-half the length of the unit, with multiple cavities through the block and with a recessed channel; an anchor bar with a plurality of threaded and non-threaded apertures in a special configuration to match the cavities in the block unit and able to lay in the recessed channel of the block; and a fastener wherein the mechanical secured block building system can be assembled in unique ways due to a cube effect of the masonry block to construct multiple width walls, grade beams, and horizontal decks. An alternative embodiment includes the preferred mechanical secured block building system further comprised of (d) a footer block and (e) a footer plate.

Abstract: An apparatus for exhausting air from a space. The space may comprise the interior space(s) of buildings such as hospitals, enclosed shopping malls, warehouses, factories, high rise buildings, etc. The apparatus comprises at least a first discharging arrangement in the form of return and supply air ducts of an air handling unit (AHU). The apparatus also comprises a second discharging arrangement in the form of a smoke exhaust box. The return air duct is arranged to receive an air stream discharged from the space and is able to be isolated from the smoke exhaust box. Upon isolation of the return air duct, the smoke exhaust box is able to receive and discharge an air stream (e.g. a smoke-filled or contaminated air stream) from the space.

Abstract: An automated system for testing a variety of transmissions and drive line gearbox components, and more particularly helicopter transmissions, for reliability, life expectancy, efficiency, and the like on a semi-automated basis. The system powers a unit under test with a pair of AC, variable speed drive motors connected to the transmission through relatively low speed gearboxes which in turn drive the input(s) of the test unit through geared cartridge spindles (GCSs) employing planetary gearset inputs driving a higher speed machine tool type spindle with an output chuck system which can automatically couple to adapters preloaded on the unit under test. Similar GCSs couple the outputs of the test unit to AC motors which act as generators to power the driving motors and thereby reduce the required electric power input to the losses in the system.

Abstract: An adhesive composition comprising elastomeric polymer, epoxy resin, reactive diluent, and filler, is suitable for use within the electronics industry, and in particular for wafer back side coating adhesives. The elastomeric polymer is a mixture of a vinyl elastomer and an epoxy elastomer; the reactive diluent is a combination of two or more diluents, one of which must have carbon to carbon unsaturation, providing cross-linking within the composition after cure; and the filler is a non-conductive filler.

Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive comprising (A) pressure sensitive adhesive polymers having pendant carbon-carbon unsaturation and (B) hydrophobic polymers terminated with carbon-carbon unsaturation. In one embodiment the hydrophobic polymers are vinyl terminated polydimethoxyl siloxane polymers and/or vinyl terminated fluoropolymers reduces the interaction of the pressure sensitive adhesive with adherends and provides excellent release of the pressure sensitive adhesive after cure.
