Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110202413Monitoring a Plurality of Merchant Gateway Devices - A multiservice merchant gateway (MMG) is disclosed. The MMG allows point of sale terminals and other devices to be interfaced with a wide area network, thereby improving speed and service to terminal owners and users, allowing for more efficient systems on merchant premises, and also allowing the merchant to provide and/or utilize various additional features and services. Support infrastructure for configuring MMGs, managing MMGs, and providing related services are also disclosed.08-18-2011

20090033153SCALABLE DISTRIBUTED REDUNDANCY - A scalable power distribution system for a data center and methods for scaling a power distribution system are described. The scalable power distribution system includes a transformer that is connected to a load at its output. The input of the transformer is connected to two isolation switches. A source is connected to one switch at all times, and the source can be switched without affecting power to the load by synchronizing the two sources at the transformer before switching sources. The load is not de-energized at any time during the transfer process.02-05-2009
20090033154REDUNDANT ISOLATION AND BYPASS OF CRITICAL POWER EQUIPMENT - A redundant power distribution system and a method of providing redundant isolation are described. The system includes a normal operation circuit branch and an external bypass circuit branch, enhanced with a generator bypass connection, both connected to a critical load, the generator bypass circuit branch including a diverse, redundant power source. The normal operation circuit branch delivers power to the critical load during normal operations and the external bypass circuit branch delivers power to the critical load from the redundant power source via the enhanced generator bypass connection during bypass operations. The system also allows the critical load to be electrically isolated from all of or a portion of the normal operation circuit branch.02-05-2009

20100320156Oxidative Treatment Method - The present invention provides a method for oxidizing a substance (e.g., in a waste stream, drinking water, a paper pulp slurry, or on a surface), which uses free radicals and reactive species generated from multiple oxidants. The method comprises combining peroxynitrite or peroxynitrous acid and at least one additional oxidizing agent for a period of time sufficient to oxidize the substance of interest. The peroxynitrite or peroxynitrous acid preferably is formed by irradiation of nitrate ion and/or nitric acid (e.g., with UV or gamma rays). The yield of free radicals and reactive species, which are the intermediate species that perform the oxidation may be increased by addition of a catalysts, electromagnetic radiation, sonic waves, and/or electrolysis.12-23-2010
