A firestopping apparatus for providing a fire barrier in a construction barrier. The apparatus is comprised of a sleeve within which there are located intumescent pads that are oriented to form a confinement area therebetween to accommodate various penetrating members such as cables, conduits and the like that need to pass through the barrier. Upon sensing the heat from a fire, the intumescent pads seal around the penetrating members to prevent the fire from passing through the barrier. One or both of the intumescent pads is movable toward or away from the other so that the confinement area can be adjusted in size, that is, the confinement area can be increased in size to accommodate a large number of penetrating members of decreased to accommodate a lesser number. One or both of the intumescent pads may be biased in the direction toward decreasing the size of the confinement area.

A system efficiently determines of the likely effectiveness of the cache memory for various cache memory sizes, based on a prediction of the likely cache miss rate, the prediction being based on operational statistics which are gathered during actual use of the cache memory over one or more time periods, and based on a variety of cache management methodologies. Based on the prediction, the operator or the system can facilitate increasing or decreasing the size of the cache memory, or maintaining the cache memory at its then-current size. The system determines the cache memory's read miss rate from statistics that are collected during use of the cache memory over an arbitrary time interval, including statistics concerning the file information retrieval activity and the extent of activity per unit time for system. Based on the statistics, equations, which are based on the respective cache memory management methodology, including the FIFO (first-in/first-out) methodology or the LRU (least-recently used) methodology, used in managing the cache memory, are solved to generate a prediction of the cache miss rate for a particular cache memory size, which may be larger or smaller than the current cache memory size, and for the particular cache memory management methodology. The system can repeat this a number of times over respective time intervals to determine corresponding predictions based on the cache memory utilization for respective sets of statistics determined during each time interval. Thereafter, the system or an operator can effect a change in the cache memory size based on the cache miss rate predictions.

An engine includes a radial arrangement of cylinders each having a reciprocating piston with a piston head and a connecting rod pivotally linked to the piston head at an upper end. A lower end of each connecting rod is pivotally linked to a crank disk that is rotatably mounted on a crank arm of a crankshaft. Steam intake valves at each cylinder are momentarily opened by a bearing cam roller that is moved in a circular path by rotation of the crank disk to sequentially engage spring urged cam followers on inboard ends of radially extending valve stems. Low pressure steam or gas is injected into the top of each cylinder, as the intake valves of the cylinders are opened in sequence, thereby forcing the piston in each cylinder through a power stroke to move the crank disk and turn the crankshaft. Angular displacement of each connecting rod through the return stroke of the piston urges an exhaust reed valve on the piston head to an open position, thereby releasing exhaust steam to a condenser chamber. The engine is self-starting and operates in a low pressure, low temperature range, using waste heat from an external source, such as exhaust from an internal combustion engine, burning of refuse (e.g. garbage or other solid waste material) or solar heat.

The invention relates to a surface sensitive capacitance gas sensor and its making method, which comprises in sequence a first electrode, a silicon wafer, a silicon oxide, a second electrode and a film of sensitive material. The silicon oxide in the sensor acts as electric medium, and forms a plate capacitor between the silicon wafer and the second electrode; the film of sensitive material is placed on the outer surface of a pole plate of the plate capacitor. By taking use of the characteristic that a nanometer or micrometer material has a small tip curve radius, the gas to be tested is polarized to increase or decrease the electric charge on the plate capacitor; and the type of the tested gas is judged through the surface sensitive capacitance gas sensor by the change reflected by the capacitance signals. The surface sensitive capacitance gas sensor operates under normal temperature and pressure, avoids any influence of accumulation of gas adsorbed by the sensitive material on the dielectric constant of the medium layer, improves the steadiness, selectivity, signal to noise ratio, accuracy and sensibility of the surface sensitive capacitance gas sensor.
