| 20080287641 | MICRON-SIZE POLYMER PARTICLES, PRODUCTION AND USES THEREOF - A plurality of micron-size solid particles is described herein that includes at least one polyamide compound, wherein the particles comprise a diameter in the range of about 1 micron to about 1000 microns, and wherein at least some of the plurality of particles are substantially transparent. In addition, a plurality of micron-size solid particles is described herein that includes at least one polyamide compound, wherein the particles comprise a diameter of less than about 4 microns. Methods of forming a plurality of micron-size solid particles are also described that include a) introducing at least one amide-based compound having a melting point, at least one suspending agent and at least one surfactant into a reaction vessel to form a reaction mixture; b) applying a thermal energy to the reaction mixture, wherein the thermal energy comprises a temperature that is at or above the melting point of the at least one amide-based compound; c) polymerizing the at least one amide-based compound in the reaction mixture; d) cooling the reaction mixture; and e) rinsing the reaction mixture to retrieve the polymer particles. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20100176061 | WATER PURIFICATION - The invention provides an efficient method to purify an aqueous solution, typically mine drainage water, especially of anions and cations present in the aqueous solution as dissolved solids, the anions and cations are removed by treatment with a positively charged extractant having at least eight carbon atoms, whereby an unstable emulsion is formed; the unstable emulsion is allowed to break into an extract phase loaded with the anions and cations, and a water phase depleted in anions and cations; a floe inherently forms in the loaded extractant phase and then the loaded extractant phase and floe are separated from the purified water and treated to remove the anions and cations as concentrated useful products; the treated aqueous phase now reduced in anion and/or cation content is also separated from the emulsion as a purified aqueous solution. The extractant phase is preferably recycled. A continuous water purification process is provided. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20100061299 | DYNAMIC NETWORKING SPECTRUM REUSE TRANSCEIVER - Systems and methods are disclosed for the operation of a network of cognitive radios in a dynamic network topology. The systems and methods make use cross-layer communications to input parameters required by network services into a reasoning engine, which in turns processes the parameter the parameter information and reports linguistic results to the network services. The cross-layer communications are leveraged to shift network service functionality to the MAC or PHY Layers. Route discovery functionality is shifted from routing services down to the MAC or PHY Layers. The route discovery functionality is implemented by a process to elect a relay node based on the number of available channels that each of the source node neighbors has available to communicate with other neighbors. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20110142096 | CHIME-IN PROTOCOL FOR CHANNEL ACCESS - A network of stations uses bandwidth assigned to primary users on a secondary user basis. The stations having a status of needing to send information indicate a need for transmission access by transmitting, simultaneously with transmissions indicating a need for transmission access from other stations of the network, an indication of status to a master station. Each station indicating need for transmission access transmits that indication of status on a respectively different frequency. The master station then grants access to the transmission bandwidth to the requesting stations. | 06-16-2011 |
