  • Publication number: 20150100624
    Abstract: A Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server functions as a web-based proxy server to facilitate peer-to-peer connections in a VNC environment. An objective of the web-based proxy server is to overcome limitations caused when a machine resides behind a firewall. In the configuration of the present invention, the web-based server performs the functions of a conventional client machine while a client in the peer-to-peer configuration performs the conventional server listening function.

  • Publication number: 20140100548
    Abstract: In general, multiple embodiments of a catheter/fistula needle to bloodline connection assurance device, which secures and strengthens a connection between an extension tube end of a catheter or fistula needle and a bloodline, are provided. A first embodiment of the assurance device is configured for use with a bloodline connector having locking clips which are biased slightly outwardly from the bloodline connector. The first embodiment of the assurance device includes clamshell halves that open rotatably about at least one hinge. The first embodiment of the assurance device includes an upper, threaded portion and a lower housing portion. The interior wall of the upper portion defines a plurality of barbs configured to engage with distal or moveable ends of the locking clips. Each locking clip is biased slightly outwardly to enable the distal or moveable end of the locking clip to fit between two respective barbs.

  • Publication number: 20140100547
    Abstract: In general, multiple embodiments of a catheter/fistula needle to bloodline connection assurance device, which secures and strengthens a connection between an extension tube end of a catheter or fistula needle and a bloodline, are provided. In one embodiment, the assurance device includes a clamshell having two halves that open rotatably about at least one hinge. The assurance device includes a male luer portion that pressure seals to the male luer portion of the bloodline connector. The bloodline male luer portion of the device extends to a female luer portion, which is lined with a compressible material that conforms around any industrial catheter/fistula needle connector when the assurance device is closed about the mated connectors. Once the assurance device is closed, this prevents axial movement of the bloodline connector relative to the assurance device.

  • Publication number: 20140094775
    Abstract: In general, multiple embodiments of a catheter/fistula needle to bloodline connection assurance device, which secures and strengthens a connection between an extension tube end of a catheter or fistula needle and a bloodline, are provided. One embodiment includes internal and external clamshells. Internal clamshell halves pressure seal to the bloodline connector, and form outwardly extending barbs. The external clamshell opens rotatably about at least one hinge and includes inwardly facing threads that catch the outer barbs of the internal clamshell. After a user connects the catheter or fistula needle to the bloodline, the user closes the internal clamshell about the bloodline connector. Then, the user closes the external clamshell about the internal clamshell, causing the inwardly facing barbs of the external clamshell to engage the outwardly facing barbs of the internal clamshell. Such engagement prevents axial movement of the bloodline connector relative to the external clamshell.

  • Patent number: 8396909
    Abstract: Based on received data descriptive of an event, a hierarchical data structure is constructed comprising structural elements associated with components of an event. A file folder hierarchy corresponding to the hierarchical data structure is created. User interfaces facilitate user access to files and folders in the hierarchies. Certain documents may be designated as documents of record and access to those documents is limited to processes that will not modify the original electronic document, thereby preserving it. Facilities for creating working copies of documents of records and associating them within the hierarchies are provided. A scanning information sheet that may have an electronically readable data imprint containing information about a document to be scanned is described for facilitating the migration of paper documents into an electronic file management system.

  • Patent number: 8244979
    Abstract: A system, method, and program product are provided that identifies a cache set using Translation LookAside Buffer (TLB) attributes. When a virtual address is requested, the method, system, and program product identifies a cache set using buffer attributes. When a virtual address is received, an attempt is made to load the received virtual address from a cache. When the attempt results in a cache miss, a page is identified within a Translation LookAside Buffer that includes the virtual address. A class identifier is then retrieved from the identified page, with the class identifier identifying a cache set that is selected from the cache.

  • Patent number: 8099579
    Abstract: A system, method, and program product are provided that identifies a cache set using Segment LookAside Buffer attributes. When an effective address is requested, an attempt is made to load the received effective address from an L2 cache. When this attempt results in a cache miss, the system identifies a segment within the Segment LookAside Buffer that includes the effective address. A class identifier is retrieved from the identified segment within the Segment LookAside Buffer. This class identifier identifies a cache set selected from the cache for replacement. Data is then reloaded into the cache set of the cache by using the retrieved class identifier that corresponds to the effective address.

  • Publication number: 20060052997
    Abstract: The present invention provides for automating identification of critical regions in memory. A behavioural software reference model of an operating system is certified as substantially error free. The behavioural software reference model is run of operating system. At least one access pattern of the behavioural software reference model is monitored. A cycle accurate software reference model of operating system is run. At least one access pattern of the cycle accurate software reference model is monitored. The at least one access pattern of the behavioural software reference model is compared with the at least one access pattern of the cycle accurate software reference model, thereby allowing a time saving in the testing process.

  • Publication number: 20060047360
    Abstract: A chemical injection system has a pump and an actuator connected to the pump. The actuator further comprises a first sensor for sensing a deactivated state of the pump; a second sensor for sensing an activated state of the pump; a computer connected to the first and second sensors and the actuator; and an interface connected to the computer, to receive commands from, and to transmit data to, a control point. The computer further comprises a stored program. The stored program contains instructions to energize the actuator to cause the pump to dispense a pre-determined quantity of chemical and to verify that the pump has actually operated to dispense the pre-determined quantity of chemical.
