Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100200068DYNAMIC PURGE SYSTEM FOR A HEAT RECOVERY WHEEL - An automatically operable dynamic purge system that is incorporated into a heat recovery wheel that comprises a number of radial seals that direct a controlled area of supply air into the exhaust air stream passing through the heat recovery wheel. Two possible configurations include a single purge and a double purge. For the single purge, one seal is fixed in location on one face of the wheel and a second seal is dynamic and is on the opposite face. For the double purge, two seals are fixed in location on one face of the wheel and a third seal is dynamic and is on the opposite face. In each case the dynamic seal is secured by an automatically operable wiper blade. This wiper blade is attached near the center of the wheel such that it rotates, in turn, allowing the seal to rotate whilst remaining approximately radial to the wheel.08-12-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100264074Amalgam separator - An amalgam separator for purifying a waste stream comprised of a mixture of air and waste liquid water, wherein said amalgam separator is comprised of filter media that comprises a surface functionalized mesoporous material, wherein said amalgam separator is further comprised of means for separating said air from said waste water to produce separated air and separated waste water, means for removing particulate matter from said separated waste water to produce cleaned waste water, means for purifying said cleaned waste water to produce purified water, and means for combining said separated air and said purified water.10-21-2010

Patrick Brendan D'Arcy, Victoria AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110015498SYSTEM, GARMENT AND METHOD - The present invention relates to a system and garment that incorporates sensors that can be used for measuring or monitoring pressure or forces in feet, the stumps of limbs of an amputee that are fitted with prosthetic devices, or any other parts of the body that are subject to forces such as the buttock while seated or when external pressure inducing devices are employed, such as for example, pressure bandages. The invention also relates to a method to monitor or diagnose any foot or limb related activity for recreational, sporting, military or medical reasons and is particularly aimed at the treatment of neuropathic or other degenerating conditions.01-20-2011

Paul D'Arcy, Caherconlish IE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120082303METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A CONTACT CENTER CONFIGURATION - A system for adapting a contact center configuration in order to achieve a specific business goal is provided. The system comprises a display for displaying to a user a representation of an actual state of a performance metric of the contact center, an interactive tool for enabling the user to interact with and thereby modify the representation of the performance metric to a desired state, and a computation engine. The computational engine is arranged to determine a measure of the modification of the representation and to identify at least one contact center configuration parameter, which if adjusted, results in an update of the actual state of the performance metric which more closely approaches the desired state represented by the modification.04-05-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110010382Contact Center Interfaces - A contact center interface is provided by co-operation between a search engine and a contact center. A search query entered by a user into the search engine is passed to the contact center and the contact center determines from the search terms an appropriate skillset to deal with that user query, returning to the search engine a link enabling the user to initiate a direct communications session to a live agent or queue having that skillset expertise, thereby bypassing interactive voice response sessions which are normally required to ascertain the nature of a query. By providing multiple search options to the user, the user is empowered to select the best skillset, and the accuracy of future searches can be improved.01-13-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090210524ROUTING OF WEB-BASED CONTACTS - A method of providing access to a network of contact centres comprises providing contact links on one or more web pages which when activated initiate contacts to the contact centres. The network addresses associated with the links and to which the contacts are automatically directed are dynamically specified in the web pages and are obtained from a database. The database is dynamically updated in response to statistical updates received periodically or continually from the individual contact centres. In this way the contacts can be directed in advance to the most appropriate destination without having to evaluate each contact as it enters the contact centre network, thereby reducing processing time and delays. Alternatively one or more remote session initiation protocol (SIP) proxy servers can be updated periodically with network addresses from the database, whereby SIP requests are directed by the proxy server to the contact centre or agent most suitable to handle the contact, as determined in advance of the request from the statistical information.08-20-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090266050METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE REGENERATION OF AN ELECTROSTATIC PARTICLE FILTER - A method for controlling regeneration of a particle filter by electrically heating the particle filter. According to the method, the regeneration is triggered by a calculator according to a loading level and temperature of the particle filter. The calculator simultaneously uses parameters relating to the operation of the vehicle so as to take into account the fuel consumption driven by the electrical heating of the filter.10-29-2009

20100147517Pump Down Cement Retaining Device - A wall casing cement plug assembly includes a receptacle with an axial passage. The receptacle is pumped to a lower end of the casing string and locked in place. The receptacle has a casing seal that engages the string of casing and a retainer mechanism on its exterior that engages a profile in the string of casing. Cement is pumped through the receptacle by rupturing a blocking device in the axial passage of the receptacle. A wiper plug is pumped down the string casing. The wiper plug has a prong on its lower end that stabs into the axial passage of the receptacle. A latch located in the lower portion of the receptacle locks the wiper plug to the body.06-17-2010
