  • Patent number: 10367917
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dynamically locating resources. In one aspect of the invention, a method to retrieve a resource for a digital processing system includes: receiving a request for a resource; downloading a first version of the resource from a server through a network connection to satisfy the request if the first version of the resource is retrievable through the network connection; and loading a second version of the resource from a storage device of the digital processing system if the first version of the resource is not retrievable through a network connection. In one example, downloading the first version is performed in response to a determination that the first version of the resource is different from a second version of the resource on a storage device of the digital processing system.

  • Publication number: 20100006788
    Abstract: A valve assembly is provided that includes a flowbody, a valve element movably disposed within the flowbody, and a magnetically-energized seal mechanism. The magnetically-energized seal mechanism includes a wiper seal carried by one of the flowbody and the valve element and movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A first magnetic element is fixedly coupled to the wiper seal, and a second magnetic element is fixedly coupled to one of the flowbody and the valve element. The second magnetic element magnetically repels the first magnetic element to bias the wiper seal toward the extended position.

  • Publication number: 20050067277
    Abstract: A biosensor in which at least one reagent constitutes a portion of a working electrode, a conductive track leading from a working electrode to an electrical contact associated with a working electrode, or an electrical contact associated with a working electrode. For example, the biosensor can have a mediator or an enzyme or both incorporated into the working electrode itself. Other reagents can be dispensed on the electrode itself either directly or by impregnating a matrix, such as a mesh or a membrane, with the enzyme, and then placing the impregnated mesh or membrane over the electrode. Alternatively, the biosensor can have a mediator or an enzyme or both incorporated into the conductive track leading from the working electrode to an electrical contact associated with the working electrode. In another alternative, the biosensor can have a mediator or an enzyme or both incorporated into the electrical contact associated with the working electrode itself.

  • Patent number: 5735640
    Abstract: Geosynthetics and structures for earth reinforcement, stabilization and retention. Membranes used in such structures are formed by weaving a number of fill members, which are preferably fibrillated polypropylene members or strips, with a plurality of warp member sets, which are preferably formed of extruded polypropylene yarns. The woven membrane so formed sustains the moderate tensile loads imposed by earth reinforcement requirements in roadways, runways, and other ways. It is inexpensive because the materials are inexpensive and may be woven in a cost efficient way, and, if desired, in a way which allows the strength and tensile properties of the membrane to be varied for a custom application by varying the composition, number and disposition of the fill members and warp members.
