  • Bayonet system for spray nozzles
    Patent number: 8936207
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a bayonet system for attaching a nozzle body to a nozzle turret. The bayonet system can be rotated with respect to a spray nozzle. A seal can be positioned between the spray nozzle and the nozzle turret. The seal can be compressed by moving the bayonet system without exerting any substantial torsion force on the seal. The bayonet system can help prevent unintentional disengagement of the spray nozzle.

  • Compartmentalization of the user network interface to a device
    Patent number: 8918868
    Abstract: A device has physical network interface port through which a user can monitor and configure the device. A backend process and a virtual machine (VM) execute on a host operating system (OS). A front end user interface process executes on the VM, and is therefore compartmentalized in the VM. There is no front end user interface executing on the host OS outside the VM. The only management access channel into the device is via a first communication path through the physical network interface port, to the VM, up the VM's stack, and to the front end process. If the backend process is to be instructed to take an action, then the front end process forwards an application layer instruction to the backend process via a second communication path. The instruction passes down the VM stack, across a virtual secure network link, up the host stack, and to the backend process.

    Publication number: 20140360711
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method to affect the heat transfer of a container is provided for rapidly heating or cooling the contents of a container through convective heat transfer. The apparatus includes a cylindrical sleeve which positively engages a distal end of a container, said sleeve including a can clip or bottle clip. The cylindrical sleeve is connected to a first end of a shaft having two ends, while the second end of the shaft may be connected to a rotating device. The rotating device is operated thus rotating the shaft, the cylindrical sleeve, and the container about the horizontal axis while the container is being exposed to the heating or cooling source. The cylindrical sleeve is capable of holding varying sizes of containers.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ARTIFICIAL COGNITION
    Publication number: 20140156577
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus that provide for perceptual, cognitive, and motor behaviors in an integrated system implemented using neural architectures. Components of the system communicate using artificial neurons that implement neural networks. The connections between these networks form representations—referred to as semantic pointers—which model the various firing patterns of biological neural network connections. Semantic pointers can be thought of as elements of a neural vector space, and can implement a form of abstraction level filtering or compression, in which high-dimensional structures can be abstracted one or more times thereby reducing the number of dimensions needed to represent a particular structure.
