| 20080253900 | GAS COMPRESSOR WITH PULSATION ABSORBER FOR REDUCING CYLINDER NOZZLE RESONANT PULSATION - A method for reducing pulsation effects associated with the compressor nozzle of a positive displacement compressor system. A pulsation absorber, having a design like that of a side branch absorber, is installed on the cylinder valve cap or on the cylinder nozzle. The acoustic dimensions and placement of the pulsation absorber are designed to reduce the amplitude of the pulsations associated with the peak resonant frequency of the compressor nozzle response. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20100142381 | MECHANISMS FOR FAILURE DETECTION AND MITIGATION IN A GATEWAY DEVICE - A system and method of the present disclosure provides a block, or region, based error diffusion process for reducing artifacts in images. The system and method allows for the generation and the control of the spatial frequency of a masking signal, e.g., noise, in a way that it can be easily passed through the compression process. The system and method provides for selecting a block size of pixels of the image, adding a masking signal to the image, determining a quantization error for at least one block in the image, and distributing the quantization error to neighboring blocks in the image to mask artifacts in the image. An output image is then encoded with a compression function. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100333174 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS IN A NETWORK - Files associated with the operation of gateway and client devices in a network may be downloaded with minimal operator intervention. Accordingly, a method includes receiving data including a first file, a first authentication element, and a second authentication element, the first authentication element being unique to a client device associated with the gateway device. The method also includes determining if the second authentication element is valid for the gateway device and storing the first authentication element and the second file for the client device if the second authentication element is valid for the gateway device. An apparatus includes a receiver that receives data, a processor that determines if the second authentication element is valid for the gateway device, and a memory that stores the first authentication element and a portion of the data for the client device if the second authentication element is valid for the gateway device. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20080276485 | POWER DRYING SYSTEM - A system configured to dry containers before a date coding process includes a blower assembly, an air manifold and a bracket assembly. The blower assembly includes a centrifugal air blower. The air manifold is connected to the blower assembly and includes a plurality of air nozzles. The air nozzles are configured to be positioned over a conveyor line, wherein the air nozzles are configured to expel air moved by the centrifugal air blower. The bracket assembly is configured to adjustably mount the air manifold over the conveyor line, wherein the bracket assembly allows the air manifold to be horizontally and/or vertically adjusted with respect to the conveyor line. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090235672 | TWO-STAGE COOLING SYSTEM - A two-stage cooling system configured to cool an interior of an enclosure includes a cabinet, a first vortex tube secured within the cabinet, and a second vortex tube secured within the cabinet. The cabinet defines a venting chamber. The first and second vortex tubes each include a hot pipe within the venting chamber and a cool gas delivery pipe extending outwardly from the cabinet. The first and second cool gas delivery pipes are configured to deliver cold gas to the interior of the enclosure. A separate thermostat may be operatively attached to each vortex tube and extend outwardly from the cabinet to be positioned within the interior of the enclosure. Additionally, first and second dampening sleeves may be secured around at least a portion of the first and second hot pipes, respectively, such that the dampening sleeves dampen noise produced by the vortex tubes. | 09-24-2009 |
