The grill grate-oiling device includes a main body, an applicator, and a valve. The grill grate-oiling device may be operable to apply oil to grates of a grill in order to prevent food from sticking to the grates. The grill grate-oiling device may be spill resistant if tipped or knocked over. The oil may be held within the main body and may flow from the main body into the applicator. Responsive to the main body being pressed downward, the valve may open to allow the oil to flow to an applicator pad located on the bottom of the applicator. The oil may be applied to the grates by rubbing the applicator pad over the grates.

A mechanical means for deploying one of two or more feed sources within a test range is presented. The feed source selected for testing is properly positioned for use within the range by rotating one of two or more arms to an upright and locked position. An arm may further include a rotatable antenna wheel with two or more feed sources thereon whereby a selected feed source is rotated into position via the antenna wheel. The antenna wheel includes a center body, feed sources attached to the center body and aligned along a rotational plane, and a shroud disposed about the center body and feed sources. The antenna wheel may include a cooling system for managing heat generated by the feed sources and electronics therefore. In preferred embodiments, the feed source changer is mounted within the range so that a selected feed source communicates an emitted beam onto a reflector which is redirected as a reflected beam toward a device under test. Concealment panel(s) may be positioned adjacent to the feed source changer to minimize electromagnetic reflections therefrom.

The grill grate-oiling device comprises a body reservoir, a ball joint, a valve locker, a valve support, a spring, and an applicator. The grill grate-oiling device may be operable to apply oil to grates of a grill in order to prevent food from sticking to the grates. The grill grate-oiling device may be spill-resistant such that the device will not leak if tipped or knocked over. The oil may be dispensed from within the body reservoir when the body reservoir is squeezed. The oil may be applied to the grates by rubbing the applicator over the grates. The ball joint may be operable to vary a dispensing angle between the applicator and the body reservoir.

A roller massage table has a leg under each comer, a leg disposed under the center of the table, and a roller mechanism mounted within the center of the table. The roller mechanism includes a spring-loaded wheel and is slidingly mounted to a pair rails on the underside of the table enabling the roller mechanism to move up and down along a single axis.

A system for and method of stretching a membrane is provided. The system has a top plate and a bottom plate that are in parallel with each other and a plurality of flexible v trusses. The top plate is configured to move vertically. The v trusses are placed in circle and have arms pointing to the center. There is a clamp for each arm for clamping a membrane. When external force is applied to push the top plate towards the bottom plate, the force bends the trusses, which is translated to the horizontal displacement of the trusses with arms. As the trusses move outwards, the clamped membrane is stretched.

A method for predicting the risk of a pirate attack in a geographical area and for generating a distribution of probabilities of a pirate attack based on intelligence (INTEL) information regarding the pirates and pirate behavior combined with information regarding environmental and meteorological (METOC) conditions and information regarding shipping activity and shipping vulnerabilities. The method can also be used to predict the probability of other activities that are subject to METOC conditions, such as anti-narcotics efforts, undersea warfare operations, mine warfare operations, and human trafficking interdiction.

System and method include precisely modeling of a facility's energy usage over time based on historic data, and precisely predicting or measuring its actual, reduced energy usage over time after a redesign, retrofit, or renovation, or other positive change to the facility. The energy cost savings, whether over a time point of view (POV) of predicted, real-time, or historic, are creditable to the intervening remediation or renovation of the facility's energy footprint. In accordance with one embodiment, multiple-variable inputs are modeled using arithmetic regression and steepest-descent convergence arithmetic solutions based in large part on building-science (construction) data versus outside average temperature (t) that simplifies the modeling and measurements. Additionality is thus addressed along with a system and method that is more accurate, more repeatable, more reliable, and thus more credible and more readily monetized.

A mitigation enablement module for a computer that improves application reliability. When performing memory management operations, the mitigation enablement module and associated memory manager selectively use mitigations that are intended to prevent an application bug from cause an application error. The memory manager may selectively apply mitigations for each of one or more applications based on the likelihood that such mitigations are successful at preventing bugs from causing application errors. The likelihood is determined from historical information on whether the mitigations, when applied, prevented bugs from causing memory operations that could cause application errors. This historical information can be gathered on a single computer over multiple invocations of the application or may be aggregated from multiple computers, each invoking the application. The determined likelihood may then be used to determine whether or for how long to apply the mitigation actions for memory operations requested by the application.

Memory management techniques selectively using mitigations to reduce errors

Techniques for performing memory management to mitigate memory errors. In accordance with the principles described herein, a memory management module may be implemented that acts in different modes of operation for each of one or more software modules that are instances of applications. In one mode of operation, memory operations may be performed in accordance with one or more mitigation actions, and in another mode of operation, the memory management module performs memory operations as requested, without performing mitigation actions. A memory management module may maintain a record in a data store associated with the memory management module that may be used to determine whether to enable the mitigations. In some implementations, records maintained by each of a plurality of computing devices may be aggregated at a central server and this aggregated information may be used to adjust the entries on each of the computing devices.

Configuration of memory management techniques selectively using mitigations to reduce errors

Techniques for performing memory management to mitigate memory errors. In accordance with the principles described herein, a memory management module may be implemented that acts in different modes of operation for each of one or more software modules issuing requests for performance of memory operations to the memory management module. In one mode of operation, one or more mitigation actions may be performed by the memory management module in addition to or instead of the memory operation requested by the calling software module, such that the memory operations are performed in accordance with the mitigation actions. These mitigation actions may serve to reduce a likelihood of a memory error negatively affecting the calling software module. In another mode of operation, the memory management module performs memory operations as requested, without performing mitigation actions.
