Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120061618Plasma gasification reactors with modified carbon beds and reduced coke requirements - A carbonaceous bed in a reactor includes carbon bearing material that is not coke and rather includes natural wood blocks or bricks formed of non-coke carbonaceous material in a binder along with, as options, other constituents such as catalysts and fluxing agents. The bed reduces the amount of coke required in processes such as for syngas production. Such non-coke units are applicable to an original carbonaceous bed in a reactor and also to replenishment of reacted carbon in the original bed. The bed may include ungasified carbon particulate matter separated from gaseous reaction products of a gasification reactor, either in non-coke bricks or otherwise applied, as may other carbonaceous material often regarded as waste such as spent potliner material from aluminum making and soot residue from a gasification reactor. Certain reactor structural modifications can also result in reduced consumption of carbon in a bed.03-15-2012

20090207978METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES NUMBER ALERTING IN AN INTERNET PROTOCOL NETWORK - A method and apparatus for identification of emergency conditions present at a given geographic location of an Internet Protocol (IP) based device and the subsequent appropriate alerting of an Emergency Services Notification (ESN) telephone number. The method and apparatus serve to monitor an IP packet flow from an IP telephony device and sense a datagram within the packet flow corresponding to an ESN dialing sequence. Upon sensing the ESN dialing sequence, the normal call packet flow is interrupted while IP-based call set-up information is returned as though a normal IP-based call were placed. An ESN call server is then alerted of the ESN dialing sequence and functions to forward the IP packet flow to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) appropriate to the IP telephony device along with location information corresponding to a civic address at which the IP telephony device is located.08-20-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100267978HIGH-TEMPERATURE METAL-ORGANIC ACCEPTOR MAGNETS - A stable magnet having a high Tc is provided. The stable magnet is synthesized from an at least one ion of a metal from a metal-containing precursor and molecules of an organic compound in a metal to organic ratio of at least about 1 ion to 1 organic molecule and as much as 10 or more ions to 1 organic molecule. The metal-containing precursor provides at least one ion having a valency lower than its maximum valency state. The organic molecules are selected from a group of organic compounds having a reduction potential suitable to accept at least one electron from the metal ion and an at least one functional group that is able to coordinate with the metal ion.10-21-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100058474SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF MALWARE - A method of automatically identifying malware may include receiving, by an expert system knowledge base, an assembly language sequence from a binary file, identifying an instruction sequence from the received assembly language sequence, and classifying, by the expert system knowledge base, the instruction sequence as threatening, non-threatening or non-classifiable by applying one or more rules of the expert system knowledge base to the instruction sequence. If the instruction sequence is classified as threatening, information may be transmitted to a code analysis component and a user may be notified that the binary file includes malware. The information may include one or more of the following: the instruction sequence, a label comprising an indication that the instruction sequence is threatening, and a request that one or more other assembly language sequences from the binary file be searched for at least a portion of the instruction sequence.03-04-2010

20090000030Knock-down foundation for a bed - The foundation consists of an assembly of wooden components which interconnect to form an enclosed rectangular configuration for supporting a mattress. At each corner of the assembly are two posts which are interconnected by dowels or by a tongue and groove. The dowels and the mouths of the openings in which they are accommodated are bevelled for facilitating the insertion of the dowels into the openings should they be misaligned. The tongues and grooves are also bevelled for the same reason. The wooden components have a moisture content in the range of about 6% to about 14% by weight01-01-2009

At each corner of the assembly are two posts which are interconnected by dowels or by a tongue and groove. The dowels and the mouths of the openings in which they are accommodated are bevelled for facilitating the insertion of the dowels into the openings should they be misaligned. The tongues and grooves are also bevelled for the same reason. The wooden components are subject to compressive forces and to a heat treatment before being assembled into the foundation.06-30-2011

20100049574SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE - A method and system for optimizing the manufacturing workforce and reducing workforce boredom in an assembly plant is provided. A master database contains all the plant workers along with all of the assembly tasks required to be performed at the assembly plant for a predetermined period, a repetitive threshold value for each worker, and a burden value for each assembly task. Each worker is assigned to a particular assembly task based upon the attributes of the worker and the assembly task requirements. A first schedule is generated by matching assembly tasks to a worker. The first schedule is then used to generate a second schedule such that workers do not exceed a repetitive value threshold or a burden value threshold. Thus the method and system generates schedules such that workers are given a variety of assembly tasks and therefore are not bored by performing the same task repetitively.02-25-2010
