The disclosure provides dried compositions providing reagents for nucleic acid amplification, which are essentially free of inorganic salts. Lack of inorganic salts increases stability of such compositions and decreases formation of byproducts. Salts required for use of enzymes in the composition are supplied on reconstitution.

Systems, methods, and devices for protecting a user head are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method can comprise receiving, by a processor operatively coupled to a helmet device, helmet data comprising at least one of statistical data, statistical models, or natural intelligence algorithms. The computer-implemented method can also comprise inflating, by a gas delivery system of the helmet device, a pressure chamber element of the helmet device based on the helmet data. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method can comprise scanning, by a sensor system of the helmet device, surrounding environments of the helmet device for object data.

In a cloud computing environment, a storage space management system provides for uniform collection of usage statistics for storage disks and storage consumers, including usage statistics for a consumers' storage buckets, where a storage bucket represents a logical container of files, objects or other types of stored data for a given consumer. The system enables automated evaluation of space usage policy against the collected statistics. The system enforces the evaluated policy determinations, including queueing jobs that manage storage disk eligibility for storing data and jobs that direct traffic from storage consumers to storage disks that have sufficient storage available.

A method and apparatus for controlled access to pressurized fluid lines and to exhausted lines. The apparatus includes a rod body having a bore; a packing fitting attached to a first end of the rod body and a ball valve attached to a second end of the rod body; a transverse arm between the first and second ends of the rod body, the transverse arm having a bore communicating the rod body bore; and a slideable rod in the bore of the rod body, in a first position of the rod a first end extends through the packing fitting to outside of the rod body and a second end is completely within the rod body, in a second position of the rod the first end extends through the packing fitting to outside of the rod body and the second end of the rod extends through and past the ball valve.

A dictation system is formed of two personal computers connected by an e-mail system. A hand microphone with control switches is provided at one personal computer and a foot pedal is provided at the other personal computer. The hand microphone is used to generate a dictation file at the first personal computer. In response to actuation of a control switch on the hand microphone, the dictation file is transmitted via the electronic mail system to the second personal computer. The foot pedal at the second personal computer is used to control audible reproduction of the dictation file for the purpose of transcription at the second personal computer. The resulting text file is sent via the electronic mail system from the second personal computer to the first personal computer.

An electrically driven motor capable of smoothly and efficiently raising and lowering a shade of an aircraft window. The aircraft window includes a spool which can slide axially. A cord is tied to one end of the spool, routed around the frame of the window and back to the second end of the spool. Between the first and second ends of the cord, it is tied into a shade rail. The shade rail is attached to the shade and when the shade rail moves up and down, the shade opens and closes. The spool is energized by the electric motor and, when moving in the first direction, causes one end of the spool to take up cord, thus causing the shade rail to move up and the other window to open and, when the electric motor is reversed, the take-up side of the spool becomes the unwind side and the unwind side becomes the take-up side, with the shade moving towards a closed, or down, position.

A lock-in grip arm shank nail provides holding power. The nail has a shank between a head for driving the and a point to penetrate the surface. The shank includes at least one set of apertures parallel to the head and capable of receiving a u-shaped wire. The u-shaped wire has its base in the aperture and arms extending on either side of the shank toward the head of the nail. The arms have a rounded tip and may include a wave shape.

There is provided an organopolysiloxane composition having low compression set as well as fuel and oil resistance in addition to high strength, good elongation, and tear comprising:

Low compression set, oil and fuel resistant, liquid injection moldable,

An air cooled diode-rectified alternating current generator for use on motor vehicles. The generator has an internal fan located within the slip ring end frame and an external fan located adjacent the outer wall of the drive end frame. The internal fan cooperates with a baffle having a central opening and forces cooling air between air inlet openings and air outlet openings formed in the slip ring end frame. The air that traverses this path cools one end of a stator winding and a bridge rectifier. The external fan causes a flow of air between air inlet openings and air outlet openings formed in the drive end frame and this air contacts an opposite end of the stator winding. The cooling arrangement also provides for a flow of cooling air from the air inlet openings in the slip ring end frame to the air outlet openings in the drive end frame.

A drawn and ironed container with a profiled bottom wall is disclosed herein. The profiled bottom wall includes an ellipsoidal dome surrounded by a substantially vertical wall portion which merges with the side wall of the container along an outwardly directed bead. The configuration of the bottom wall substantially increases the resistance to buckling when the container is filled with pressurized product.
