Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to an addressing circuit for a conductor array comprising intersecting row and column conductors. The addressing circuit comprises a switching circuit configured to selectively address an intersection between a selected row conductor and a selected column conductor for connection to a measuring circuit; and at least one voltage buffer selectively connectable to un-selected column conductors on opposite sides of and adjacent to the selected column conductor. The at least one voltage buffer is configured to equalise voltages between the un-selected column conductors and the selected column conductor.

Abstract: A Substance Dispenser and a Method of Providing a Substance Dispenser The invention provides a substance dispenser for dispensing a metered amount of a substance such as a cream or gel, other viscous or non-viscous substance, the dispenser comprising: a first housing member defining a handle for the dispenser; a cream containing chamber arranged to slide telescopically with respect to the handle member, the cream containing chamber having a nozzle opening at a first end, from which cream is, in use, dispensed; a bearing at the second axial end; and a shaft rotatably fixed with respect to the handle and arranged to pass through the bearing such that upon rotation of the handle with respect to the cream containing chamber, the cream containing chamber and the handle move telescopically with respect to each other such that, the substance containing chamber moves axially within the handle to force cream through the nozzle opening, wherein movement of the handle with respect to the cream containing chamber is inde

Abstract: Methods for determining thermophilic enzymatic activity include heating a substrate solution in a plurality of closed volumes to a predetermined reaction temperature. Without opening the closed volumes, at least one enzyme is added, substantially simultaneously, to the closed volumes. At the predetermined reaction temperature, the closed volumes are agitated and then the activity of the at least one enzyme is determined. The methods are conducive for characterizing enzymes of high-temperature reactions, with insoluble substrates, with substrates and enzymes that do not readily intermix, and with low volumes of substrate and enzyme. Systems for characterizing the enzymes are also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved exhaust system and catalytic converter element for a diesel engine wherein the improvement comprises: holding means for restricting the movement of catalytic converter elements in an overhead exhaust manifold; an improved catalytic converter element having at least one retaining rod extending through the catalyst substrate and/or having at least one retaining lip projecting into the substrate; a stabilizer projecting from the cover for the element insertion slot for receiving an end portion of the catalytic converter element to restrict the movement of the converter element in the exhaust manifold; perforated flow distribution elements provided upstream of the catalytic converter elements; and/or vertical coupling manifolds which each receive exhaust from a pair of engine cylinders and then deliver the combined exhaust stream to a separate one of the inlet openings in the bottom of the overhead exhaust manifold.

Abstract: The invention is in short, a stainless steel swinging door. It is a simple rectangular piece of 20 gauge 304 #4 Stainless Steel. (Different gauge metal can also be used. A reduction in the gauge will reduce the overall weight of the invention and allow food products with less weight to push open the swinging door. However reducing the gauge makes “The Oven Flap 2” more susceptible to damage. A standard dimension of “The Oven Flap 2” for a 32 inch conveyor oven with a 4 inch opening, is 31.50 inches in length×3.75 inches in height and 0.025 inches in thickness. (The height and length of the invention can be adjusted to fit ovens which have different openings sizes but the function and use of the invention remains exactly the same.) Once attached to the ends of any conveyor style oven with the assistance of the Pivot Unit, “The Oven Flap 2” creates a barrier which block escaping heat and in turn dramatically reduces the amount of energy the oven uses.

Abstract: The invention is a simple rectangular piece of 22 gauge 304 or 316 Stainless Steel. It is 31.75 inches in length×3.75 inches in height and 0.025 inches in thickness. Attached to the steel plate are two Stainless Steel hinges. These can either be welded on or attached with nuts and bolts. The height and with of the invention can be adjusted to fit ovens which have different openings sizes but the function and use of the invention remains exactly the same.

Abstract: A distributed logging system for maintaining and retrieving diagnostic logging information in an efficient manner. A local cache of logging information is maintained at an analysis computer and the local cache is first examined to determine if diagnostic information exists in the cache or if it must be retrieved from a remote server. If the requested diagnostic information is available in the local cache, the local cache is accessed to retrieve the information. If any portion of the requested diagnostic information is not available in the local cache, the information is located and read from the appropriate log file(s) on the remote server, and then stored in the local cache so that subsequent requests for that diagnostic information will not necessitate accessing the remote computer. Native I/O functions are used to allow access to the diagnostic information regardless of the status of the distributed system.
