Abstract: A cable connector for four cables. The connector has a body, a pair of clamps, and a screw. The body has an attachment portion to attach to a cable carrier and a clamping portion extending upwardly from the attachment portion. The clamping portion widens into a generally rectangular cavity defined by opposed short walls and opposed tall walls. A divider between the tall walls bisects the cavity. The clamps are L-shaped with a clamping face and a foot. Cables are passed through the attachment portion and the cavity with two cables between one clamp and the divider and the other two cables between the second clamp and the divider. The screw fits into a hole in one clamp, through a hole in the divider, and into a threaded hole in the other clamp. The screw is tightened until the cables are held securely.

Abstract: An application executes on a client device to automatically subscribe a user to a particular syndication feed. In at least some instances, the user can be preliminarily unaware that they have been subscribed to the feed. In at least some embodiments, the application automatically subscribes to feeds using one or more contact lists that contain contacts that are relevant to the particular user. Specifically, the application is able to access the contact list(s) and ascertain from the individual contacts who, among the user's contacts, constitutes a source of a syndication feed. Once one or more contacts have been identified, the application can automatically subscribe to the feed so that the user can now receive and consume feed data.

Abstract: A framework identity database for receiving, storing, and sharing a user's personal information. The framework identity database operates in conjunction with a user interface and one or more associated application programs to receive a user's personal information. The user interface sends personal information to the framework identity database. New or previously stored personal information can also be sent to the framework identity database from one or more application programs or input devices associated with a computer or a network. The framework identity database creates and stores a user record including the personal information for later retrieval or modification. The framework identity database shares the personal information with the application programs.

Abstract: Generally described, the invention is a graphical method for creating an embedded database, or List Object, within a spreadsheet program, wherein the List Object is made up of a number of individual records, which in turn are made up of a number of data fields. The method is a multi-step process that uses a graphical interface to create the List Object, also known as a List. In the first step of the process, the user must define where the data for the List is coming from and where the List will be stored in the spreadsheet program. Specifically, the user must identify whether any pre-existing data will be used to populate the List or whether the List will be populated from scratch. Next, the user must define the data fields in the list, which includes naming each field and defining the data type for each field. Finally, in the last step of the process, the List is created in the spreadsheet program in such a manner that each field in each record is logically associated to every other field in the record.

Abstract: A fuel distributing pump for a multi-cylinders, internal combustion engine having a sinuously profiled cam member providing a plurality of discrete compound cam pumping stations, each comprising primary and auxiliary cams serially arranged and interconnected by an intermediate cam segment which cooperate with pumping plungers of a pump rotor to shape and vary the pulse waves of fuel delivered to the combustion chambers for varying engine operations. For low horsepower requirements, such as idle and light loads, only the primary cam with fast initial pumping rate and following low rate camming ramps or surfaces are utilized to shape the pulse wave with a fast beginning and a graduated end of injection for even and progressive fuel burn for reducing smoke and engine noise.
