Abstract: The invention relates to an off-grid propane gas range appliance incorporating a waist-high broiler, the gas range operating without electricity in off-grid applications. The off-grid propane gas range appliance comprises an oven compartment having a first heating element or baking burner arranged at the bottom of the oven compartment and a second heating element or a broiling burner arranged at the top of the oven compartment eliminating the need for a separate broiler drawer. The first and second heating elements are arranged and connected to the main gas manifold of the gas range so that only one of the heating elements is operable at a single time.

Abstract: Herein provided are innovative methods and techniques for improving seedling germination and plant establishment including a seed composition of at least one seed having a seed protective coating applied to the seed and a soil surfactant coating applied to the seed protective coating. The seed protective coating is positioned between the seed and the soil surfactant. The seed protective coating is formulated to keep the soil surfactant from contacting the seed and the soil surfactant coating is formulated to increase wettability of soil and being a sufficient quantity of soil surfactant to treat the soil in contact with the seed composition such that the soil is conditioned for growing the seed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas cook top assembly that is capable of operating in off-grid applications where no electricity is available and that is also adaptable to operating in on-grid applications. The cook top is provided with a first control loop with a battery pack for powering the control valves for releasing gas to the gas burners and a spark ignition module for generating a spark to ignite the corresponding gas burner in an off-grid application. The cook top is also provided with second control loop for delivering power from an on-grid AC power source to the control valves and spark ignition module. The second control loop may operate independently of the first control loop or may be connected in parallel with the first control loop, the second control loop receiving AC power through an AC-to-DC converter.

Abstract: A direct venting system for a free-standing propane powered refrigerator is disclosed. The direct venting system pre-installed on the refrigerator, the system having an air intake for drawing air from outside and directing the air to a burner box for combustion of the propane gas flame that runs the refrigerator, and an exhaust outlet for venting all of the flue gases or products of combustion out of the system with the system being hermetically sealed with respect to an interior environment within which the refrigerator is installed. The fresh air is directed to a burner box by means of a specially designed air inlet adapter that includes a step-down feature that reduces the likelihood of blow-out of the gas flame. The flue gases are directed through an offset chimney structure and a three-layered exhaust outlet that reduces the formation of condensate thereby protecting the system from blow-out and corrosion.

Abstract: Methods and system for sharing a hardware resource in a computer system running at least one software process having multiple threads. A lock_indicator is provided in data structures within the computer system. A request is received to use the hardware resource by one of the threads that is defined to be a requesting tread. Based on the lock_indicator, it is determined whether the hardware resource is available for use by the requesting thread. If this indicates that the hardware resource is available, the lock_indicator is set under control of the hardware resource to instead indicate that the hardware resource is unavailable, and a go_indicator signals to indicate that use of the hardware resource for the request can now proceed.

Abstract: A virtual tester that simulates automatic test equipment (ATE). A translator converts program code of the ATE to pattern information and timing information. The virtual tester tests a software representation of a circuit, based on the program code of the ATE. The virtual tester uses the pattern information and/or the timing information to test the software representation of the circuit.

Abstract: A glare reducing film is provided for application to the screen of a television, computer and the like to reduce or eliminate glare from the screen caused by external sources such as windows and room lighting. The film comprises a thin film of clear flexible plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride having a matted front surface and a smooth back surface. The film is perforated to permit the passage of air through the film between the front surface and the back surface. The back surface is covered by a removable backing which is slit diagonally from corner to corner. The film may be formed in a convex shape corresponding to the general shape of the screen to be covered. To apply the film, the screen is cleaned of all dust and other foreign particles and wetted with a moistening agent such as water or glass cleaner. The central corners of the backing portions are peeled away from the back surface of the film to expose a small area in the center of the back surface.

Abstract: A method for displaying data received from automated testing equipment is disclosed. The method includes the steps of receiving data output from automated testing equipment, processing a predetermined integer number of samples of the received data, displaying the predetermined integer number of samples on a graph, the graph showing magnitudes of the samples versus a time scale, and wrapping additional samples of the received data on top of the displayed graph to provide an eye pattern. The eye pattern allows for evaluation of the data output from the automated testing equipment.

Abstract: A Storage Container Lighting System 10 that is a battery-powered light with automatic ON and OFF function activated by raising or lowering a storage container cover 30 or other surface to which it is attached. Angle of activation is adjustable. System 10 has portability capability. System 10 provides light through use of low current, high-intensity white light emitting diodes 22. System 10 allows for different colored lamps for specialized applications. Tilt-activated switch 26 activates light when storage container cover 30 is raised and turns off light when cover 30 is lowered. Rocker switch 24 is provided so lights can be turned off when cover 30 is left open for extended period of time. Standard household batteries 42 serve as a power supply. Module 14, a low profile enclosure, houses electronic components. Module 14 slides into base 12. Base 12 is mounted to a container cover or other surface using either double-sided foam tape 20 or optional screws through mounting holes 18.
