20100231904Method and Device for Measuring Hydrocarbons in Aqueous Solutions - The present invention relates to a method and device for conducting the analysis of hydrocarbons in aqueous solutions, accurately matching the EPA Test Method 1664 HEM, without the need for a solvent extraction step. The solvent extraction step is eliminated by: 1) delivering the aqueous solution directly to a standard cuvette in a controlled and convenient manner, and 2) correlating the analyzer's output reading to a predetermined calibration curve. The predetermined calibration curve is generated by having a duplicate sample of aqueous solution tested by Method 1664 and the present device and the two values correlated. The sample delivery system is comprised of a standard 1-liter sample bottle, a flow control section, and an analyzer adapting section. The sample bottle contains the aqueous solution to be analyzed. The flow control section has various conduits which allow the user to regulate the rate at which the sample flows through to the analyzer using gravity and contains an optional fill line which can be connected directly to the process that generates the aqueous media being tested. The analyzer adapting section connects the flow control section to a standard round glass cuvette and provides a sealing means. A method for using the device is presented which calls for taking multiple analyzer readings at timed intervals as the aqueous solution flows through the cuvette. The values are then averaged and compared to the Method 1664 calibration data. Accuracy of this method to the Method 1664 can be maintained with periodic recalibration, typically monthly.09-16-2010

20080250549HELMET - A helmet for use by an operator or rider of a motorized vehicle, such as a motorcycle or snowmobile, includes a ventilation system with an air intake subsystem, an air diffusion subsystem, and an air exhaust subsystem. The air intake subsystem includes a plurality of air intake vents located in the outer shell of the helmet, as well as a plurality of air intake holes located within the foam liner of the helmet. The air diffusion subsystem includes a plenum located between an upper portion and a lower portion of the foam liner, which can act as a pressure chamber to forcefully direct air onto the user's head. The air exhaust subsystem includes one or more exhaust ports that create a vacuum near the back of the helmet to draw large volumes of airflow through the helmet as it travels forward.10-16-2008

20100062717ASYMMETRICAL MULTICARRIER INTERFERENCE AVOIDANCE - A system and methods for asymmetrical multicarrier interference avoidance in a communication from a network to a subscriber device. The asymmetrical multicarrier interference avoidance technique comprises measuring signal-to-noise ratio interference values and sorting the measured values into two tables for selecting an anchor and a non-anchor frequency carrier pairs. The system is self-tuning based on changes in the network, the subscriber and the surrounding environment.03-11-2010
20100136943CONTENT MANAGEMENT FOR WIRELESS DIGITAL MEDIA FRAMES - System(s) and method(s) are provided for management of content(s) directed to a wireless digital media frame (WDMF). Management is facilitated by a service provided by a mobile network platform. A service subscription allows a subscriber to establish femto cell coverage in a location that host a subscribed WDMF(s); determine content(s) delivery preferences; and extend the service to a group of auxiliary subscribers. Various sources of content such as a mobile station, a non-mobile device, or a content server associated with a service platform (e.g., an internet service provider) can deliver content(s) and signaling. Integrity of content(s) and signaling is provided through access protocol(s) that exploits credentials associated with a source of content. Content(s) are managed through a content interface that conveys available content(s) in a source of content and an intended WDMF. Various alarm(s) can be delivered to a WDMF as a part of the content management service.06-03-2010
20100138365PORTABLE WIRELESS ENABLED DIGITAL MEDIA FRAME - A wireless enabled digital media frame that can communicate over a wireless wide area network (WWAN) is provided. The wireless enabled digital media frame comprises an internal or external WWAN modem (e.g. GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA/LTE) such that the one or more media is transferred to the media frame using a wireless connection (e.g. 2G/3G/3.5G/4G). The wireless enabled digital media frame displays the received media files on a display screen. Further, broadcast alerts received over the WWAN and/or calculated current signal strength is also displayed on the display screen. Furthermore, setting information is received by the WWAN modem and accordingly applied to modify or update media frame functions.06-03-2010
20100150128Devices and Methods for Asymmetrical Multicarrier Transmission and Reception - Devices and methods are disclosed which supplement a duplex frequency by providing one or more simplex frequencies and distributing a data load among them. Variations of the disclosed system include a server containing a scheduler in communication with a communications device. The server initially communicates with the communications device using a duplex channel. The scheduler determines when it is no longer optimal to use the single duplex channel, and distributes data among the duplex channel and one or more simplex channels. Before sending this data through multiple channels, the server must first send a schedule to the communications device, so the communications device knows which bits of data are coming through which channels at which times. The scheduler compiles this schedule and sends it to the communications device through the duplex channel. A descheduler within the communications device receives the schedule and alerts the communications device to start receiving data on other simplex channels. The descheduler then puts the bits of data in order as they stream in across the duplex and simplex channels.06-17-2010
