Abstract: Networks, systems and methods for dynamically filtering market data are disclosed. Streams of market data may be buffered or stored in a queue when inbound rates exceed distribution or publication limitations. Inclusive messages in the queue may be removed, replaced or aggregated, reducing the number of messages to be published when distribution limitations are no longer exceeded.

Abstract: An electrical enclosure wherein an electrical component can be moved between various positions (e.g., connected, disconnected, test, etc.) without opening an enclosure door. The electrical enclosure supports a component for movement between a withdrawn position, a test position, and an inserted position. A handle is accessible by an operator from an exterior of the enclosure and is configured to move the component between the respective positions without having to open the enclosure. The handle is integral with the enclosure and thus an operator needs no special tool or other device to effect movement of the electrical component between its respective positions.

Abstract: A bearing seal assembly of a rotary machine includes and inner shaft and an outer shaft. The outer shaft is disposed concentrically around and radially outward from the inner shaft. The space between the inner and outer shafts forms an annulus void. The inner shaft includes an oil inlet port through which lubricating oil enters the annulus void. A grooved structure is located on an inner surface of the outer shaft, and the grooved structure is configured to retain oil upon shutdown of the rotary machine. A bearing is located outside of the outer shaft. An oil outlet port is disposed in the outer shaft and is connected to the grooved structure for supplying lubricating oil to the bearing.

Abstract: This invention is an inflatable water proof ear plug which prevents moisture from entering the ear canal, reducing water intrusion and possible infection (“swimmer's ear”). A syringe or manual pump allows the user to inject air or fluid into the bladder inserted inside the outer ear canal, providing superior comfort and safety over the “one size fits all” ear plugs on the market. When the ear plug is positioned into the ear canal by inserting the syringe pump, it opens up a small check valve and a measured amount of air or liquid can be pumped into the expandable bladder. The air valve can be deflated for easy removal by pushing the small check valve tip. For diving extra measured amount of pressure can be injected to compensate for the increasing under water pressure.

Abstract: A rectifier assembly and method are provided. The rectifier assembly includes an annular bus bar including an electrically conductive material, and an insulator ring receiving the annular bus bar. The insulator ring defines radially-extending resistor pockets and diode pockets therein. The rectifier assembly also includes resistors disposed in the resistor pockets and electrically connected with the annular bus bar, and diodes disposed in the diode pockets and electrically connected with the annular bus bar. The rectifier assembly also includes an outer housing receiving the annular bus bar and the insulator ring, such that the insulator ring is positioned radially between the annular bus bar and the outer housing.

Abstract: A shaft for a bearing lubrication assembly includes an outer surface and a reservoir disposed within the shaft. A first seal groove is formed on the outer surface and extends a full circumference of the outer surface. A second seal groove is also formed on the outer surface and extends the full circumference of the outer surface. A radial port extends from the reservoir to the outer surface, the radial port intersecting the outer surface between the first seal groove and the second seal groove. A plurality of chambers are formed in the shaft and disposed axially between the first seal groove and the second seal groove. The plurality of chambers are open to the outer surface with each chamber having a closed bottom disposed radially inward from the outer surface. Each chamber is also circumferentially spaced from one another.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a mobile machine, such as hydronic surface heater designed to be transported to a potentially remote worksite and operated for an extended period of time. The machine has a fueled component, such as a burner, fueled by a fuel supply system having at least two fuel tanks that are operably connected to one another by a connection line having an electronically controlled valve therein. The valve is coupled to the machine's electrical system, such as being coupled to the output of the machine's main breaker, so as to be opened whenever the machine is operating but to be otherwise closed. The fuel supply system thus has, in effect, a single tank when the machine is running and multiple separated tanks when the machine is not running. Fuel spill risks therefore are mitigated without having to sacrifice operating time and without significantly complicating the machine's fuel supply systems or its controls.
