Abstract: A padlock having a removable or interchangeable shackle is disclosed. The padlock comprises a lock body and a shackle, the shackle being movable in an axial direction between a locked position and an unlocked position, the short leg being withdrawn from the lock body in the unlocked position. The padlock also comprises a retaining shaft receivable within a corresponding bore of the lock body, wherein the long leg includes a longitudinal recess for providing a travel path for the movement of the shackle from a locked position defined by the retaining shaft engaging a first end of the longitudinal recess to an unlocked position defined by the retaining shaft engaging a second end of the longitudinal recess to prevent the shackle from being removed from the lock body when the shackle is in the unlocked position.

Abstract: Systems and methods of laser dispersion spectroscopy for in situ, quantitative and non-intrusive measurements of combustion parameters, such as temperature and gas concentrations are provided. The system includes a laser source configured to sweep across the spectral features of molecules, an RF generator configured to modulate a laser to generate a three-tone laser beam, a photodetector configured to detect the transmitted three-tone laser beam to generate a heterodyne beat note signal, and a lock-in amplifier configured to further process the beat note signal in order to measure a phase of the heterodyne beat note signal.

Abstract: A system for modeling a basket of securities containing a plurality of securities is provided and includes a default/recovery model database for storing default/recovery data regarding the plurality of securities. Also included is a default simulation engine for calculating a default time for at least one of the plurality of securities based on the default/recovery data. Finally, a cash flow engine is included for generating cash flows for the basket of securities based on the default times.
