Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a standalone application module are disclosed. A configuration database stores information about one or more infrastructure resources. A receiver receives a request to connect to an infrastructure resource. A processor accesses the configuration database to fetch information about the infrastructure resource; accesses one or more external resource databases to fetch infrastructure resources that are required to run an application; dynamically creates the infrastructure resources accessed from the one or more external resource databases: and establishes and maintains a connection to the dynamically created infrastructure resources required by the application to function running in background in a user's system.

Abstract: A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a functional documentation module are disclosed. A repository stores a list of URLs corresponding to one or more applications and a list independently executable programming languages for running an application. A receiver receives a request for creating a new URL. A processor causes a GUI to display selectable URLs from the list of URLs, selectable components from the list of independently executable programing languages, and a functional documentation; creates the new URL by selecting one or more desired URLs from the selectable URLs based on analyzing the functional documentation; independently tests only the created new URL for running the application without testing the selectable URLs and their underlying components; and updates the repository with the new URL based on a positive test result.

Abstract: Disclosed are materials and methods for improved single chain variable fragments.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for conditioning air for an enclosure, a first ambient airstream is cooled by a cooling coil of a refrigerant cooling system to reduce temperature and humidity, passed through a segment of a rotating desiccant wheel to reduce moisture content and increase temperature, and then supplied to the enclosure. The desiccant wheel is regenerated by a second ambient airstream heated with a condenser coil of the refrigerant system and then passed through a regeneration segment of the desiccant wheel. A bypass plenum allows a third ambient airstream to be selectively heated and cooled independent of the evaporator coil and desiccant wheel in the first plenum. Heated air bypassed from the second ambient airstream or an independent heater can perform the selective heating in the bypass plenum. The airstream in the bypass plenum is then supplied with the air treated in the first plenum to the enclosure.

The heat exchanger assembly includes at least one tube, a plurality of sections, and a plurality of nozzles. The at least one tube is configured to (i) have a process fluid flow therethrough in a first direction and (ii) have a scavenger cooling medium flow over the outer surface of the tube in a second direction. The second direction intersects the first direction. The plurality of sections is aligned in the first direction. The plurality of nozzles are located above the at least one tube. At least one nozzle of the plurality of nozzles is (i) located in each of the plurality of sections and (ii) configured to selectively discharge coolant onto the portion of the tube in that section of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: In conditioning air for an enclosure, a first ambient airstream is cooled by the cooling coil of a refrigerant cooling system to reduce its temperature and humidity content. The thus cooled and dehumidified air is then passed through a segment of a rotating desiccant wheel to reduce moisture content and increase temperature and is then supplied to the enclosure. The desiccant wheel is regenerated by the use of a second ambient airstream which is first heated with the condenser coil of the refrigerant system and then passed through the regeneration segment of the desiccant wheel. A bypass plenum is provided in the apparatus that selectively allows a third ambient airstream to be cooled in the plenum independent of the evaporator coil and desiccant wheel in the first plenum. That airstream is then supplied with the air treated in the first plenum to the enclosure.

The desiccant wheel is regenerated by the use of a second ambient air stream which is first heated with the condenser coil of the refrigerant system and then passed through the regeneration segment of the desiccant wheel. A bypass plenum is provided in the apparatus that selectively allows a third ambient air stream to be cooled in the plenum independent of the evaporator coil and desiccant wheel in the first plenum.

Abstract: A fire-resistant collapsible enclosure can include three or more sidewalls coupled with a cross plate internal to the enclosure. A top portion of the enclosure can include a non-linear edge configured to be an airflow outlet, or a bottom portion of the enclosure can include a non-linear edge configured to be an airflow outlet. The fire-resistant collapsible enclosure can be configured for use as an oven, a stove, or a smoker. In an example, two or more of the fire-resistant collapsible enclosures can be used together, such as where one enclosure is configured as a heat source and a second enclosure is configured as a smoker. In an example, the cross plate can include a throttle to control airflow through the enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a gasketed fuel cell membrane electrode assembly by simultaneously binding together the parts of the MEA, impregnating uncured elastomeric gasket material into the outer edge portions of each fluid transport layer, and substantially curing the uncured elastomeric gasket material so as to form anode-side and cathode-side gaskets. In order to form a raised-ridge microstructured contact pattern on the contact face of each gasket, patterning plates bearing a negative relief of a raised-ridge microstructured contact pattern may be positioned between the press platens and the uncured elastomeric gasket material.

Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention allow a program designer to conveniently specify and support watchdog checking of a program under development. The resulting programs are more robust than programs developed without watchdog support. The method and systems provide a convenient, automated mechanism for adding watchdog support to a program. Thus, a developer need not incur the substantial time and effort costs that would be associated with manually designing and configuring separate watchdog programs. Rather, the methods and systems provide substantial assistance to the developer in designing a robust program.
