Abstract: Methods and system for providing synchronization of a multi-threaded application includes analyzing a source file of the application to identify one or more synchronization annotations contained therein, wherein the synchronization annotations are defined using declarative statements. One or more synchronization annotation processors are identified and invoked for processing the one or more synchronization annotations identified in the source file so as to generate code files. The source file is compiled to generate one or more class files by compiling the procedural code within the source file to generate one or more class files, and compiling the code files to generate the one or more class files. The class files associated with the code files are used by the multiple threads during execution of the application to arbitrate access to methods and data manipulated by classes within the class files associated with the procedural code.

Abstract: A system for imaging a pipe comprising: (a) a first nozzle having a plurality of jets configured such that expelling fluid from the first nozzle urges the nozzle in an axial direction without substantially biasing the first nozzle laterally; (b) a second nozzle in fluid communication with the first nozzle, the second nozzle having one or more jets configured such that expelling fluid from the second nozzle biases the second nozzle laterally, wherein at least one of the first or second nozzles is configured for attachment to a hose for providing pressurized fluid, wherein the second nozzle is operatively connectable to the hose such that rotating the hose rotates the second nozzle; and (c) a camera attached proximately to the second nozzle.

Abstract: A therapeutic treatment system that embodies a therapeutic method and a medical device for the treatment of Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS), myofascial and/or musculoskeletal dysfunctions by utilizing negative pressure and suction to concurrently lift, lengthen, separate and stretch the iliotibial band to restore it to its correct functional length is provided. The medical device may include a suction implement coupled to an actuator handle, wherein the suction implement may be dimensioned and adapted to generate a negative pressure along a predetermined region requiring treatment. The user may operate the actuator handle so as to move it toward and away from the suction implement so that the suction implement is alternately deformed and returned to an undeformed condition, thereby alternately applying the negative pressure and suction to the predetermined region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bending and holding aid, especially for pipes, cables and lines consisting of a bendable hollow body that is closed, at least in sections, open at both front ends having a substantially tube-shaped enveloping surface, which consists of individual articulated members connected by means of connecting elements with flexible angles, where the freely accessible front ends of an articulated member form a sharp angle whose opening is oriented in the direction of the connecting elements. The bending aid is configured such that the connecting element is a defined one-dimensional joint and that on the side of the bending aid opposite the connecting elements catching elements are disposed that connect the adjacent articulated members so as to interlock, without additional holding device, when the bending aid is bent.

Abstract: A wiper blade for cleaning windows of motor vehicles has a support bracket system having retaining claws disposed on claw brackets. The retaining claws grip a head strip of a wiper strip of an elastic material which is fixed longitudinally with a securing body shaped from sheet metal. The securing body is solidly joined to the wiper strip and engages the retaining claw from behind at least with a hook in the form of a snap connection disposed on one wiper arm. The hook is shaped by bending or swaging of the arm and is adjoined in the assembly direction by a guide face.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for passing generic objects in a distributed system is disclosed. At the receiving process, the generic object is unmarshaled. However, the object of type T is maintained in its marshaled form. If the generic object is subsequently passed to another process, a copy of the marshaled form of the object of type T is passed. The object of type T is not unmarshaled until the generic object is received by a process that narrows the generic object into the object of type T.

Abstract: A wiper apparatus has a wiper blade which has a multi-linked frame on which a wiping element placed on the windshield is held and wherein the frame has an upper bow of an essentially U-shaped cross section, on at least one end of which a lower bow, which dips between the U-shaped legs, is hinged in the manner of a balance arm, and wherein an elastically deformable hinge element, which can be locked with the upper bow and is U-shaped at least in the installed state, is disposed between the surfaces of the upper and lower bows facing each other, and extends with hinge protrusions disposed on the insides of its U-shaped legs and oriented toward each other into bearing recesses of the lower bow. A particularly simple and low-cost assembly is achieved, if the upper bow has at least one opening in the area of its U-shaped base, through which a detent element connected with the hinge element lockingly extends while being elastically deflected in respect to the upper bow.

Abstract: A wiper device for wiping windshield panes of motor vehicles includes an oscillating blade driven in the direction transverse to the direction of its elongation and having a support with at least two pairs of end claws and an elastic rail having a wiper lip facing the pane being cleaned and held on the support by the end claws. Two end holding members are provided on the elastic rail which form stops cooperating with respective stop shoulders formed by the end faces of the claws to limit a longitudinal displacement of the rail and the wiper lip relative to the support. To permit the use of the same wiper element with the supports, the stop shoulders of which are positioned closer to each other, spacers are installed between the stops of the holding members and the stop shoulders of the support.
