  • Patent number: 11779950
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus and liquid container with a fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The fluid dispensing apparatus includes a valve body defining a bore that extends at least partially through a valve body, and an adaptor including a piercing member positioned to pierce a pierceable membrane enclosing the liquid container. The adaptor also includes a releasable fastener that cooperates with a portion of the liquid container to releasably couple the valve body to the liquid container. A liquid droplet production apparatus of the fluid dispensing apparatus controls a discharge of the liquid from the liquid container. The liquid droplet production apparatus includes a perforate membrane, and an actuator that is selectively operable to vibrate the perforate membrane and cause liquid droplets to be emitted from the perforate membrane and projected generally away from the liquid container.

  • Patent number: 10445443
    Abstract: A method of designing an underground excavation may involve the steps of: Developing a plurality of input parameters for the underground excavation; performing a first design iteration to determine an initial ground support system design; evaluating a kinematic stability of the initial ground support system design; determining whether the kinematic stability meets a predetermined factor of safety; and reiterating the initial ground support system design until the kinematic stability meets the predetermined factor of safety.

  • Patent number: 9802689
    Abstract: An oil collection system includes a boat that has an engine. A pan is removably coupled to the engine such that the pan may capture oil leaked from the engine. A plurality of clips is provided and each of the clips is coupled to the pan. Each of the clips engages the bottom end of the engine such that the pan is removably retained on the engine. A filter is positioned within the pan such that the filter filters the oil. A gauge is coupled to the pan such that the gauge may display an amount of oil contained within the pan. A drain is coupled to the pan such that the drain may selectively drain the oil from the pan.

  • Patent number: 9292359
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic memory management of a shared memory during parallel processing of a web application. The system includes a computing system configured to allow parallel computing of a web application executed within a web browser. The computing system includes shared memory having a set of blocks distributed at least a first thread and at least one spawned thread of a processing function of the web application. The memory is partitioned into a nursery heap, a mature heap and a database having a plurality of private nurseries, wherein the first thread has access to the nursery heap and mature heap and the at least one spawned thread has access to an associated one of the plurality of private nurseries. During parallel computing of the web application, management of the shared memory includes garbage collection of at least each of the plurality of private nurseries.
