A septum with a central slit for receiving a male luer into the slit is mounted in the housing. The septum has an upper portion with an outer face, a lower sealing portion in sealing contact with the distal portion of the housing, and a plurality of elastomeric columns projecting laterally within the chamber, each elastomeric columns defines a longitudinal axis and is under sufficient compression along the longitudinal axis induced by the internal wall of the chamber so that the columns are bowed and the strength along each of the elastomeric columns is reduced by bowing, but the slit sealing force is high. This configuration places the lower portion of the slit in a tightly sealed configuration with is never-the-less receptive to penetration by the male luer which causes the columns to bow further and collapse precipitously with the elastomeric force of the collapsing mass of the columns being carried distally to displace and reliably pop open the central slit distal the tip of the male luer. The septum further provides a transverse separation between the columns and the distal sealing portion so the force of the displacement force to the sealing portion is reduced. | 09-04-2014 |

20140173072 | LIVE MIGRATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINES USING VIRTUAL BRIDGES IN A MULTI-ROOT INPUT-OUTPUT VIRTUALIZATION BLADE CHASSIS - A method for managing migration of a virtual machine includes accessing a first information handling system and a second information handling system, accessing a network information handling resource, using one or more switches to virtualize access of the network information handling resource to the first information handling system and the second information handling system, accessing a virtual bridge associated with the network information handling resource, accessing a virtual machine configured to access the resources of the first information handling system, and copying the operational state of the virtual machine from the first information handling system to the second information handling system using the first virtual bridge. The first information handling system and the second information handling system share the network information handling resource using the virtualized access. | 06-19-2014 |
20140173149 | COMPLETION NOTIFICATION FOR A STORAGE DEVICE - A method for providing notification of completion of a computing task includes providing access to an information handling resource for a first information handling system, registering the first information handling system with a first completion queue, submitting commands from the first information handling system to a first submission queue, providing access to the information handling resource for second first information handling system, registering the second information handling system with the first completion queue, and submitting commands from the second information handling system to a second submission queue. Upon execution of commands in the first submission queue and the second submission queue, an entry in is created a first completion queue. Upon the creation of an entry in the first completion queue, an interrupt is selectively sent to the first information handling resource and to the second information handling resource. | 06-19-2014 |
20140359189 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CONNECTIONS TO AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an interface for an information handling system comprising a connector, wherein the connector comprises a legacy portion and an expanded portion. The legacy portion may comprise a plurality of signal pins defining a first set of lanes of communication between the information handling system and an information handling resource coupled to the connector. The expanded portion comprising a plurality of signal pins defining a second set of lanes of communication between the information handling system and an information handling resource coupled to the expanded portion. | 12-04-2014 |

20100101407 | HYBRID NUTATING PUMP WITH ANTI-ROTATION FEATURE - A nutating or wobble type pump has at least one flexible member connected to the pump's yoke and the pump's housing. The flexible member does not have any sliding joints therein. The member flexes in a manner that allows the yoke to tilt relative to the pump's axis while restraining the yoke from rotating. | 04-29-2010 |

20080304993 | Hybrid Nutating Pump - A nutating pump for creating pressure or a vacuum. The nutating pump includes a housing with a center support positioned within said housing. The center support includes a semi-spherical recess. The pump also includes a drive shaft adapted to be connected to an electric motor and an eccentric adapted to be connected to the drive shaft. The pump further includes a ball adapted to form a ball joint and is adapted to be positioned within the semi-spherical recess of said center support. In addition the pump includes a nutating yoke positioned within the housing. The yoke includes a semi-spherical recess adapted to accept said pivot ball. The nutating yoke is adapted to be connected to the eccentric, such that rotation of the eccentric causes the yoke to move about the ball. The pump also includes a connecting rod connected to the yoke, a piston connected to the connecting rod and a cylinder adapted to accept the piston, wherein the movement of the yoke about the ball causes the piston to reciprocate within the cylinder. | 12-11-2008 |
