  • Patent number: 12150516
    Abstract: A footwear sole structure having a fluid-filled chamber including a tensile member is provided. The fluid-filled chamber includes a first barrier sheet, a second barrier sheet and the tensile member. The first barrier sheet is formed from a first thermoplastic material. The second barrier sheet is attached to the first barrier sheet and is formed from a second thermoplastic material. The first barrier sheet and the second barrier sheet cooperate to define an internal cavity. The tensile member is disposed within the internal cavity and is formed from a third thermoplastic material. A first weld attaches the first barrier sheet, the second barrier sheet, and the tensile member together by melding the first thermoplastic material of the first barrier sheet, the second thermoplastic material of second barrier sheet, and the third thermoplastic material of the tensile member.

  • Publication number: 20240230243
    Abstract: The heat exchanger tray provided herein may include a base, a cover, and a heat exchange coil. The base may include a cutout and a bottom portion with one or more sidewalls forming a serpentine path for wastewater. The cover may be positioned within the cutout of the base to create a space between the base and the cover. The cover may include one or more protruding portions that engage with the one or more sidewalls of the bottom portion of the base to enclose the serpentine path. The heat exchange coil may be positioned in and along at least a portion of the serpentine path between the base and the cover. Fresh water may flow through the heat exchange coil. Wastewater may flow through the serpentine path between the base and the cover, such that the wastewater may heat the fresh water flowing through the heat exchange coil.

  • Publication number: 20240159028
    Abstract: A plumbing or ablutionary system is provided, in which a water supply stream flow path from a water supply inlet to a water supply outlet, such that a water supply stream flowing in a water supply pipe is in an antiparallel counterflow heat exchanging relationship with a waste water stream flowing along a length of a serpentine portion of a waste water conduit. When the waste water stream has a higher temperature than the water supply stream heat is exchanged from the waste water stream to the water supply stream, thereby increasing the temperature of the water supply stream.

  • Patent number: 8284942
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using private keys in software development that minimizes the risks of the private key being lost or stolen. A strong name consists of the assembly's identity, e.g., its simple text name, version number, and culture information (if provided), plus a public key and a digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file using the corresponding private key. The private/public key pair is persisting in a password-encrypted file using a standard encryption format that can be made available to everyone. The first time any subsystem of the development environment requires use of the private key contained in an encrypted file format, the developer is prompted to provide the password to decrypt the key. The user supplies the password and the public/private key is imported into a non-exportable key container in the local cryptographic store.

  • Patent number: 7873960
    Abstract: To package an application and a component to be available for use in connection with the application into a package, a type of the package and a location where the package is to be stored are received, as is a selection of the component to be packaged with the application. For the selected component, at least one packaging-specific object in such component is referred to to determine information on how to package the component in the package and/or how to install the component on the computing device of the user.

  • Patent number: 7814308
    Abstract: A system and method that allows developers to debug a component while it is restricted by any arbitrary set of specific permissions, or restricted by an existing permission set associated with a security “zone.” A security sandbox is mimicked within the development environment so that developers can study how applications perform inside the sandbox. Developers are able create any sandbox and debug inside it, where violating any bound of the artificial sandbox will throw a security exception and drop the user out on the exact line of code which generated the error, as well as provide helpful information about how to correct the error.

  • Patent number: 7685570
    Abstract: An error/exception helper may provide tailored help when an error such as an exception is generated. A source program editor interface may be displayed and/or focus given to the program editor interface. An error/exception bubble or tool tip may be displayed, which, in one embodiment of the invention, points to the line of code that generated the exception. The error/exception bubble may include a link to a help topic or the actual help text may be displayed within the bubble. The bubble may also include one or more actions that may be taken to correct the error or a link to a procedure to perform the action(s). The source code may be edited, actions initiated and execution re-initiated at which time the bubble and editor interface display may be dismissed.

  • Publication number: 20070221740
    Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve for hot and cold water has two-stage inlet chambers for the hot and cold water flows respectively. The inlet chambers distribute the flows uniformly with respect to porting for admitting the flows to the mixing chamber to reduce asymmetric flow patterns and promote thorough mixing of the flows within the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20070126273
    Abstract: A passenger seat assembly for a vehicle includes a storage panel assembly. The seat assembly has a seat back foldable between upright and generally horizontal positions relative to a seat bottom. The seat back has a rear surface incorporating the storage panel assembly. The storage panel assembly has a platform and at least one sidewall moveable relative to the platform between a retracted position preferably generally flush with the rear surface of the seat back and an extended position inclined relative to the platform to facilitate receiving and retaining objects on the platform.
