  • Publication number: 20040153997
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely monitoring the execution of computer programs are provided. Monitoring instructions are added the computer program so that during execution of the program, data may be collected regarding the program execution. The collected data may be automatically sent to a remote system or site for analysis. The monitoring instructions create little or no performance impact on the client yet provide valuable information to the developer of the program. Additionally, the monitoring instructions may be changes during computer program development.

  • Patent number: 6223387
    Abstract: A leaf pick-up and transport bin assembly comprises a truck with a truck box and a trailer with a trailer box pulled behind, a swivel mounting platform between the truck and trailer, a blower operated leaf pick-up machine mounted on the swivel platform whereby its vacuum intake port opening to one side can be rotated so its vacuum intake port faces and opens to the opposite side, a flexible elongated conduit extends from the vacuum intake port to suck in and pick up leaves throughout the area reachable by such flexible elongated conduit, and a rotatable airflow discharge port with a flexible discharge conduit connected thereto which can be rotated to face the truck and truck box in one position and to face the trailer and trailer box when rotated to a second position. The rear wall of the truck box includes an intake aperture to receive the discharge end of the flexible discharge conduit for blowing leaves into the truck box.

  • Patent number: 5637099
    Abstract: An apparatus for safely handling a needle while removing the needle from a substrate such as an implanted access device having a resealable septum. The apparatus has a distal end and a proximal end and comprises a body, a cap member, and a basin-shaped member. The body defines interior boundaries and the cap member has an opening therein. The cap member is connected to and is distal to the body. The basin-shaped member defines a self-closing passageway and has a rim connected to the body. The rim of the basin-shaped member is disposed within the interior of the body intermediate the cap member and the proximal end of the apparatus. The basin-shaped member has an apical end facing the distal end of the apparatus. The cap member includes two resilient flaps, offset from one another. In one arrangement, the cap member and the body snap together to trap the basin-shaped member. In another arrangement, the apparatus is made of two identical halves joined together.

  • Patent number: 4780000
    Abstract: A rod end has a split clamp housing which supports a bearing for transferring motion or loading forces from an actuator to another part to be loaded. An adjustable stop for the clamp is used to adjust the backlash of the bearing used with the rod end to a desired level without causing distortion. A spherical washer set is used for transferring loads between the two clamp portions. The housing for the bearing is clamped against the spherical washer set at a preselected loading so that the bearing is able to rotate and swivel as needed, but backlash is removed.
