Abstract: A system for controlling a ground speed of an agricultural sprayer includes a speed setting device for commanding a selected ground speed of the sprayer when operating within a speed-range mode associated with a ground speed range. The speed setting device is movable across a plurality of positions, with each position being associated with a different ground speed within the ground speed range. A maximum range speed of the ground speed range is lower than a maximum ground speed of the sprayer. As such, the system includes a speed override input device for commanding that the ground speed of the sprayer be increased to the maximum ground speed. When an override input is received from the speed override input device, the computing system controls the operation of a sprayer drive system to increase the ground speed of the sprayer from the selected ground speed to the maximum ground speed.

Abstract: Cyclic aspiration system including an aspiration catheter and a cyclic aspiration source connected in fluid communication thereto, wherein the cyclic aspiration pressure source produces a cyclic aspiration pressure waveform of intermittently cycling intervals of a vacuum pressure below atmospheric pressure and a positive pressure higher than the vacuum pressure. The system further including a non-powered internal structural impediment disposed within the lumen of the aspiration catheter and configured to engage with a clot capturable therein during resulting movement between the clot and the non-powered internal structural impediment while subject to the cyclic aspiration pressure waveform to assist in capture of the clot. The non-powered internal structural impediment may be permanently attached to the aspiration catheter or a separate component or device independently slidable within the lumen of the aspiration catheter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacture of multilayer printed circuit boards and articles formed thereby, especially IC substrates. The inventive process utilizes in individual process steps inorganic silicates and organosilane bonding mixtures to provide adhesion between layers of copper and dielectric materials. Said process leads to an enhanced adhesive strength, improved mechanical and thermal stress resistance as well as humidity resistance of multilayer printed circuit boards and IC substrates.

Abstract: The dynamic workflow documentation system is a computer implemented process comprising the following steps: The dynamic workflow documentation system starts a workflow manager program, a class loader program in a computer memory and creates an instance of a workflow program in the computer memory. The dynamic workflow documentation system extracts metadata properties from the workflow program and records the metadata properties in the memory. The dynamic workflow documentation system notifies the workflow manager that a new instance of the workflow program has been created and repeats the steps of creating an instance of a workflow component program, extracting metadata properties, recording the metadata properties and notifying the workflow manager for all workflow components associated with the workflow program.

Abstract: A method and program for providing the ability for systems personnel to use a personal wireless device, such as a mobile phone, palm device, or blackberry device, to receive a system alert regarding a developing situation requiring action and to be notified of pre-selected workflows that can resolve the situation prompting the alert. The systems personnel are then able to select a workflow, provide needed parameters, and provide the human approval to execute the workflow. The application packages the information provided by the user into a form usable by the orchestration/provisioning server. The server will perform the requested workflow as if entered on a local console and will respond to the device with a workflow status.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for logically provisioning resources in a data processing system. A request for one or more resources to be provisioned in a provisioning environment is received. The requested resources may be of multiple different available types of resources. Particular instances of the requested types of resources are selected from a group of different types of unassigned available resources. The selected resources are indicated as being reserved, and thus no longer unassigned or available, to fulfill this request. The selected resources are then logically provisioned by establishing logical relationships between the selected resource instances in the provisioning environment.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are described for managing the provisioning of resources in a data processing system. There are different types of resources. Each resource is one of these types. Multiple provisioning states are defined for each type of resource. Relationships are defined among the provisioning states. The relationships describe valid transitions from one state to another. Workflows of one or more tasks are defined, varying to the resource implementation specifications, that are associated with each one of the valid transitions between states. When a resource is to transition from a current state, the relationships among states are used to determine a valid next state. The workflow specific to the resource specification and associated with this transition from the current state to the determined next state is then executed in order to transition to the next state.

Abstract: A multiply configurable hat having a visor assembly joined to a double thickness knit stocking cap. The visor assembly is formed of a visor or bill portion joined to an adjustable headband and is separable from the stocking cap and is independently wearable as a visor. The visor assembly is installed into the annular space between the inner and outer knit fabric tubes of the double thickness knit stocking cap and is movable therein relative to the inner and outer knit fabric tubes. Furthermore, the inner and outer knit fabric tubes are configurable relative to the visor assembly, such that the visor portion is arranged in proximity to the brim and the headband is movable along a length of the annular space. The inner and outer knit fabric tubes of the stocking cap are thus configurable relative to the visor assembly into a variety of different arrangements.

Abstract: An apparatus for creating freestanding columns of compressible substances such as snow and sand. These freestanding columns can then be sculpted into any desired shape. The apparatus is placed on level ground, filled with the compressible substance after which the substance is compressed using hands or other implements. The operator then rotates the apparatus by pushing horizontally on the handles, thereby causing the apparatus to rise vertically due to the spiral grooves on the inside surface of the apparatus. As the apparatus rises vertically, the column of compressed substance remains stationary while creating space at the top of the apparatus for the addition of more of the compressible substance. The process is repeated until desired height is reached.
