20090145300Process and Apparatus for Generating and Delivering An Enriched Gas Fraction - An improved sieve bed design to manage breakthrough and the mass transfer zone by way of volumetric division. An empty space in the product end is separated from adsorbent-filled sieve space in the feed end by a mid-diffuser plate. The ratio of the empty product end void space to the adsorbent filled sieve space within a sieve bed may be determined by the relative percentages of the gasses to be separated and the bulk loading factor of the molecular sieve. A product end void space of the correct volume may ensure the maximum volume of nitrogen has been adsorbed before breakthrough occurs. In operation, pressure in the sieve bed empty space and sieve filled space may be equal at any instant. This contains breakthrough to the location of the mid-diffuser plate. The mass transfer zone may be static at the point of the mid-diffuser plate and as such, gas separation is a function of pressure within the bed.06-11-2009

20110289872WALL CLIP AND SHIM ADAPTED FOR INSULATING CONCRETE WALLS AND SIMILAR MATERIALS - Systems, components, and methods for attaching insulating foam panels to a wall provide additional insulation by virtue of the low thermal conductivity of the foam material of which the panels are made. Structural elements disposed within the panels provide attachment features used for fixing the panels to the wall, and also provide a structural mounting for finishing materials that may be placed on the wall. A clip attaches to the attachment features and is then affixed to the wall. One or more shims may be attached to the clip for accommodating irregularities in the wall. The shims also may be used in a variety of additional applications where accommodation for irregularities in spacing is desired.12-01-2011
20120085047HINGED CORNER FORM FOR AN INSULATING CONCRETE FORM SYSTEM - A corner form panel used in an insulating concrete form system includes a hinged corner web member at least partially embedded in each of two segments of the form panel. The hinged corner web member enables the two segments to rotate with respect to each other, so that the form panel can be opened to a flat configuration for shipping, and folded into a corner configuration at the jobsite. Both inside and outside corner panels may be provided, and may use different hinged corner web members. The corner web member may include features for connecting the inside and outside corner panels, to reinforce the resulting form unit.04-12-2012

20110010280SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A TIME SHEET - A system and method for creating a time sheet. The system collects at a reporting device, chronologically-identifiable log entries from a variety of activity recording devices, including without limitation, mobile, desktop and networked phones, PDAs, media recorders, satellite positioning systems, handheld, mobile, desktop and networked computers. The reporting device allocates each of the log entries into one or more contiguous, non-overlapping and equal duration time blocks, corresponding to a minimum billing increment. The allocated log entries are processed by filtering, consolidation and sorting to identify an appropriate allocated log entry for each time block from which a time sheet may be generated comprising an identifier providing client or project information and a time value attributed to such activity. The time sheet may form an input into a time entry system. Methods of gathering chronologically-identifiable data at a recording device and of generating a time sheet at a reporting device are also disclosed.01-13-2011

20100207449Power Sharing with Stackable Switches - Power is automatically allocated among a plurality of network switches, such as a plurality of stackable switches. In one embodiment, one device in the network is designated as a “master” device which controls the power allocation for all of the switches. In another embodiment, a distributed algorithm is used, in which each device uses power allocation decision logic to formulate a mutually agreed-upon power allocation. Power from multiple power-granting devices may be consolidated to provide aggregated power to one or more power-needing devices.08-19-2010
20110234002POWER SHARING WITH STACKABLE SWITCHES - A technique includes selecting a first device from a plurality of interconnected devices to form a root of a power tree connecting the interconnected devices and allocating power among neighbors of the interconnected devices in a direction along the tree away from the root. The technique includes determining whether at least one of the interconnected devices needs power after the allocation of power among the neighbors and selectively further allocating power among the neighbors in a direction along the tree toward the root based on the determination.09-29-2011

20100057912Method for Implementing Network Resource Access Functions into Software Applications - An Open Network Adapter (ONA) provides an interface that provides network resource access functions to application writers and network users while hiding the implementation details from those writers and users. The ONA accepts high-level network resource access function requests and coordinates the lower-level actions necessary to accomplish the high-level requests. These network resource access requests may, for example, be provided via a user interface which may be implemented by a personal computer, telephone, or other device capable of providing a display and receiving user input.03-04-2010
20100091782Method and System for Controlling a Delay of Packet Processing Using Loop Paths - A method and system for introducing controlled delay of packet processing at a network device using one or more delay loop paths (DLPs). For each packet received at the network device, a determination will be made as to whether or not packet processing should be delayed. If delay is chosen, a DLP will be selected according to a desired delay for the packet. The desired delay value is used to determine a time value and inserts the time value in the DLP ahead of the packet. Upon completion of a DLP delay, a packet will be returned for processing, an additional delay, or some other action. One or more DLPs may be enabled with packet queues, and may be used advantageously by devices, for which in-order processing of packets may be desired or required.04-15-2010
20100171602Intelligent Power Management of an Intermediate Network Device Switching Circuitry and PoE Delivery - Embodiments of the invention include a management agent which has access to power output control circuitry of a digital electronic communication switch, a power meter, a load sharing means, and the ability to manage the power of switching circuits in the switch. The power meter enables the management agent to identify the power consumed by the switching circuits that are enabled and operational. This information, coupled with (1) knowledge of the power allocated to each port via PoE, and (2) policy information (which specifies power allocation preferences) is used in a two-pass power management method.07-08-2010
20110142062iSCSI to FCoE Gateway - Transparent communication between iSCSI and FCoE end nodes is provided by a gateway device having iSCSI and FCoE network interfaces. The gateway allows end nodes of one protocol to communicate with end nodes of another protocol as if they were communicating with end nodes of the same protocol. The gateway accomplishes this by creating “ghost” end nodes for each protocol. For example, the gateway creates ghost iSCSI nodes corresponding to physical FCoE nodes, and ghost FCoE nodes corresponding to physical iSCSI nodes. A ghost end node of a particular protocol is able to communicate with native end nodes of that protocol as if it were a native end node, because the gateway translates packets sent from end nodes in their native protocol into the other protocol for receipt by corresponding ghost nodes, and vice versa.06-16-2011
