Summary-based routing for content-based event distribution networks

A system and method for enabling highly scalable multi-node event distribution networks through the use of summary-based routing, particularly event distribution networks using a content-based publish / subscribe model to distribute information. By allowing event routers to use imprecise summaries of the subscriptions hosted by matcher nodes, an event router can eliminate itself as a bottleneck thus improving overall event distribution network throughput even though the use of imprecise summaries results in some false positive event traffic. False positive event traffic is reduced by using a filter set partitioning that provides for good subscription set locality at each matcher node, while at the same time avoiding overloading any one matcher node. Good subscription set locality is maintained by routing new subscriptions to a matcher node with a subscription summary that best covers the new subscription. Where event space partitioning is desirable, an over-partitioning scheme is described that enables load balancing without repartitioning.

Slatwall extrusion and assembly

The present invention pertains to a slatwall extrusion and assembly for a wall of a building to support hangers and shelving and the items they carry. Each section of slatwall has a continuous linear rear wall that integrally joins number of spaced boards. Each board has front, rear, top and bottom walls that form a continuous loop around a hollow interior. Each board also has a downwardly extending double-walled lip. The lip is spaced from its adjacent lower board to form an L-shaped slot. The continuous rear wall is firmly secured to the studs or drywall of the wall by self tapping screws or an adhesive coating. The linear rear wall, hoop shaped boards, and double-walled lips combine to form a sturdy, lightweight and inexpensive slatwall extrusion. High impact polystyrene (HIPS) is used to achieve even further cost and weight reductions while maintaining the strength of the slatwall extrusion and assembly.

Adaptive scissors

In accordance with this invention, an underside or lower scissors handle, which is conventionally attached to the upper blade of a pair of scissors, is provided with a separate, appropriately sized, additional hole or loop-like band for receiving the index finger of the user. This additional index finger hole is located forward of the main lower finger opening. This unique placement of a separate index finger hole, which is a primary feature of this invention, isolates the index finger against the shaft of the scissors and closer to the pivot point of the blades, and allows the index finger to guide advancing motion of the scissor blades to the right or left as needed to follow a desired path or pattern, for example forming or following a curve. A separate third hole for placement of the index finger makes these scissors unique. Isolating the index finger against the shaft of the scissor handle provides stability and strength and allows the index finger to adjust or “guide” the scissors to the left or right making easy and very subtle adjustments as needed to negotiate curves and angles as in following a pattern. Another feature relates to the “thumb hole” in the upper handle. The inner diameter of such upper handle thumb hole is limited with a suitable restraint, such that the thumb enters only by an amount sufficient to keep the thumb in flexion, and not far enough to place the thumb in extension.

Specially designed soft contact patch for treating amblyopia (lazy eye) in children and possibly adults is disclosed. A soft contact patch designed such that its pupil section is opaque and essentially black or tinted dark and its iris section surrounding the pupil section is large enough to snugly fit the eye under the eyelid and is either transparent or colored to show or match the natural color of the eye, and it is perforated and porous to allow oxygenating the iris and the sclera, so that for selected portions of time the stronger eye may be occluded. Thus, the stronger eye can be occluded for a desirable period of time to force the weaker amblyopic eye to work harder and become stronger in time to correct amblyopia.
