  • Patent number: 7266622
    Abstract: A buffer accessible by an application executing under an application server in a first address space is managed by a database adapter executing in a second address space. A data request from the application executing in said first address space, comprising a buffer locator in the empty state, is received by the database adapter executing in the second address space. A buffer is allocated in the first address space and the address of this buffer is stored in the buffer locator. Data associated with the data request, received from a database subsystem, is copied to the buffer. Control is then transferred back to the application whereby the application utilizes the buffer locator to access the buffer and process the data contained therein. A database adapter automatically managing application buffers across address spaces in accordance with the present invention may be referred to as an “auto-buffer database adapter”.

  • Publication number: 20030035097
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for locating an object by using a laser range finder are disclosed, and more particularly relates to a method and an apparatus that can increase distance and accuracy of measuring object without increasing laser emitting power. Since noise is existent randomly, through the statistics theorem, it is known that an accurate distance between the laser range finder and the measured object can be measured and obtained by repeatedly performing measurements and accumulatively adding the result obtained from each measurement. Hence, by utilizing the present invention, an accurate distance between the laser range finder and the measured object can be measured without increasing the emitting laser power, and even if the measurement is performed under a noisy situation.

  • Patent number: 6036596
    Abstract: A crawfish shelling tool including a handle, and a wire extending outwardly from one end of the handle. The wire has a generally U-shaped configuration. A closed end of the U-shaped configuration is opposite the handle. The wire is a high-tensile strength steel wire having a diameter of no more than 1/32 of an inch. The wire has a first side extending outwardly from an end of the handle, and a second side extending outwardly from the end of the handle. The second side is in coplanar relationship with the first side. The closed end is a curved end which connects an end of the first side with an end of the second side. The curved end forms an approximately 180.degree. curve. The first side and the second side taper inwardly toward the curved end.

  • Patent number: 5794418
    Abstract: A pallet stretch wrapping machine includes a turntable attached to a lower portion of a column for supporting an article to be wrapped thereon. A frame is vertically movably mounted in the column and includes an upper housing, a lower housing, and a vertical wall connecting between the upper and lower housings. A plurality of upright rollers are rotatably mounted between the upper and lower housings. An upright post is fixedly mounted on the lower housing for supporting a spool. A roll of resilient film is wrapped around the spool and extends through each of the rollers which can co-operate to deliver the roll of resilient film to envelop the article by turning the turntable. A velocity adjusting mechanism is mounted between the upper and lower housings for adjusting a rotational velocity of each of the rollers for delivering the roll of resilient film.
