The vertical and horizontal frame members are configured to facilitate routing of various utility service lines through the framework assembly to locations near the workstations. In another embodiment, a horizontal frame member facilitates routing of electric service wires to outlets near the workstations, while concealing fasteners and other structure of the outlets.

An adjustably positionable sneeze guard includes a transparent panel having an upper surface and a lower surface, and at least two continuously flexible legs having a proximal end and a distal end. Preferably, the distal end of each support leg is attached to the lower surface of the transparent panel by means of a thumb screw, and the proximal end of each support leg is secured to a stationary base by means of a c-shaped clamp mechanism. The transparent panel is adjustably positioned on the stationary base in front of and above food, beverage or other items, to provide a barrier which protects said items from contaminants expelled from the mouth or nose of a person on the opposite side of the transparent panel. The adjustable positioning makes the sneeze guard suitable for self service, attended service, and temporary buffet service lines.

The invention provides a method and a system for storing synchronous data in distributive network equipment. The storing method comprises the following steps of: (1) respectively building distributive databases of unified storage engine interfaces on a primary main control card, a standby main control card and a service line card; (2) storing the synchronous data by the distributive database of the main control card through invoking the unified storage engine interfaces after the unified storage interfaces provided for an application program module receive the synchronous data; (3) sending the synchronous data to the standby main control bard and the service line card after the distributive database of the primary main control card completes the storage of the synchronous data; and (4) storing the synchronous data through invoking the unified storage engine interfaces after the distributive database of the standby main control card or the service line card receives the synchronous data of the primary main control card. In the method provided by the invention, the invoking of the unified storage engine interfaces by the distributive databases on the main control cards and the line card in the distributive network equipment is realized, the unified storage of heterogeneous data is realized, the implementation details are shielded, the code redundancy is reduced, and the transportability of the codes is improved.

A system for cooling a generator mounted in the tail-cone of an engine. The system comprises a fairing, which receives through an inlet thereof air from a bypass duct and directs the bypass air towards a cavity of the tail-cone for cooling the generator. The bypass air is then expelled through an outlet of a support strut positioned in fluid communication with the tail-cone cavity. The fairing inlet and the strut outlet are both positioned in a plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal plane of the engine. In this manner, circulation of the bypass air through the fairing, the tail-cone cavity, and the strut may be achieved. The bypass air directed through the fairing further enables cooling of service lines accommodated in the fairing. A lobe mixer is further used to direct the fairing and shield the latter from core exhaust.

A top operating telescoping adjustable valve box and valve stem assembly that incorporates a telescoping valve stem actuating system which, when coupled to a service valve, allows for the operation from ground level without the removal of a plug or lid. The system has a large range of vertical adjustability. The upper and lower sections of the assembly are in frictional connection with each other, which allows no transmittal of force to the lower section when any upward force to the upper section is applied, thus reducing damage to the buried valve and pipeline. The assembly provides a tracing block terminal, located on the top base, to allow for the connection of tracing wire from the valve top to the service pipe for service line location. The assembly also incorporates the placement of a tamper proof cap for the prevention of unauthorized operation of valve stem system.

Systems, methods and computer program products for providing a user with a real-time ancillary offer(s) that maximize profits for merchants by increasing the likelihood of ancillary sales. Ancillary revenue sales include revenue generated from goods or services that differ from or enhance the main product or service lines of a company. An embodiment includes a ancillary revenue maximization engine and a recommendation engine. The user is provided with an ancillary offer generated by the ancillary revenue maximization engine, immediately before a merchant processes a sale with a user. In another exemplary embodiment, the user is provided with an ancillary offer generated by the ancillary revenue maximization engine after a merchant processes a sale with a user. An ancillary offer refers to an offer made to a customer by a merchant to sell an ancillary product or service. The ancillary revenue maximization engine may generate such an ancillary offer based on input received from a recommendation engine. In an embodiment, the recommendation engine uses rule selection, conversion segmentation and product selection to recommend one or more products that may enhance the value of a product or service purchased by a user and may maximize profit to the merchant processing the sale.

The present invention provides a line wakeup control method, including the following steps: the tread wakes up and runs to check whether there are armed tasks or not. If there are, the armed tasks are implemented and the line dormancy time is reset as Delta t of the preset minimal unit time interval. Otherwise, the sum Delta at of the latest two dormancy time intervals is computed and set as line dormancy time interval . The present invention achieves a short service line dormancy interval when there are a plurality of armed tasks and a long interval when armed tasks are few, avoid wasting the system resources and reasonably solving the contradiction between task processing efficiency and system resource waste.

A tennis training simulation system is disclosed that improves both reaction time and ground stroke techniques within a limited physical training environment. This training system combines simulated service of a tennis ball from a service line over a virtual net, and delivery of real tennis ball to an awaiting tennis student. In the system of this invention, the tennis ball delivery system includes an automatic tennis ball machine equipped with an array of lights or LED's that simulate the service of a tennis ball from a service line, a simulated trajectory of the tennis ball over a virtual net, and a simulated first bounce of a tennis ball coupled immediately thereafter with real in-flight delivery of an actual tennis ball to an awaiting tennis student.

Methods of detecting atypical patterns of usage of electricity, determined by monitoring consumption at the primary line, permit detection of grow-ops and unusual line losses due to defective service lines. A meter having a high resolution is connected to the primary line and the data collected is compared to known consumption patterns thus identifying a potential theft or a loss. Once an atypical pattern has been found, the heat signatures of transformers fed by the primary line are measured. An unusual heat signature alerts the utility to load test the secondary lines of each residence fed from the transformer and thus locate suspect residences which may be grow-ops or to locate a line loss due to defective service lines.

A decision engine decides whether to assign a service line to be active or in standby mode with a very simple decision logic that is based on a comparison between two numbers that are created through the setting of bits in two registers. The logic of the decision engine is embedded in a combination of a filter that either accepts or rejected applied stimuli, and a table that acts on accepted stimuli by the setting and resetting of bits in the two registers in accordance with a unique specification.

A service line distribution base (10) comprises a ground anchor (18) having an upstanding cruciform portion adapted to extend into the ground. A cabinet (20) suited to support a utility pole (14) extends upwardly from the ground anchor (18). The cabinet (20) defines and internal space for receiving buried wire conduits (28) incorporated to the cruciform ground anchor (18). The cruciform shape of the ground anchor (18) advantageously permits to incorporate a greater number of wire conduits (28) into the base of a utility pole as compared to conventional concrete bases.
