Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090172184TCP burst avoidance - A computer-implemented method including providing, at a first device, a packet scheduler layer between a network layer and a transport layer; receiving, at the packet scheduler layer, one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) packets from a sending layer on the first device, wherein the sending layer is one of the network layer or the transport layer; smoothing delivery of at least one of the one or more TCP packets by delaying the delivery; and sending the one or more TCP packets to a receiving layer, wherein the receiving layer is one of the network layer or the transport layer that is not the sending layer.07-02-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120030212Systems and Methods for Video Cache Indexing - Methods and systems for indexing content in a cache data structure within a content cache are disclosed. The methods and systems identify at least one characterization data associated with a received content request and input the at least one characterization data into a hash function to generate an index that is used for identifying an entry associated with the requested content in the cache data structure. The at least one characterization data may include a portion of content associated with the received content request, a portion of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) associated with the received content request, an IP address associated with the received content request, the length of the content associated with the received content request, and one or more parameters parsed from the URL associated with the received content request.02-02-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100175672System and Method for Facilitating Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition - A method of transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition in a combustion chamber of an engine that is configured for homogeneous charge compression ignition under at least some engine operating conditions and for spark ignition under at least some engine operating conditions, the method comprising heating contents of the combustion chamber with a glow plug prior to transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition.07-15-2010
20110017180SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING HOMOGENEOUS CHARGE COMPRESSION IGNITION - A method of transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition in a combustion chamber of an engine that is configured for homogeneous charge compression ignition under at least some engine operating conditions and for spark ignition under at least some engine operating conditions, the method comprising heating contents of the combustion chamber with a glow plug prior to transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition.01-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090277846Water supply thermocline detection and mixing process - A means for mixing drinking water stored in large storage tanks, preventing stratification of the water, detects incipient stratification of water along thermoclines, and, responsive to thermocline detection, generates large mixing bubbles toward the bottom of the tank, causing mixing of layers of water in the tank through turbulence created as the bubbles rise through the tank.11-12-2009
20090279381Water tank deicing mixer - A means for mitigating or precluding formation of ice in water stored in large storage tanks generates large mixing bubbles toward the bottom of the tank, causing mixing of thermally stratified layers of water in the tank through turbulence created as the bubbles rise through the tank. Incipient stratification of water along thermoclines is detected and the mixer is engaged only when temperatures of portions of stratified water in the tank approach freezing.11-12-2009
20100176054METHOD FOR REMEDIATING SOLIDS IN WASTE LIFTING STATIONS - A process removes or eliminates altogether accumulations of solid and semi-solid, water immiscible materials adhering to walls, and equipment, particularly near the high liquid mark, in tanks of waste liquid lift stations. Compressed gas is used to generate large bubble masses of six inches to several feet in diameter within the waste liquid. As these large bubble masses rise through the liquid in the tank, convection currents generated by the rising bubbles agitate and loosen pieces of accumulations adhering to the tank and lift station equipment, resulting in a slurry of waste liquid and immiscible materials which can then be pumped from the tank by lift station equipment for further processing. In some embodiments, continuous or frequent periodic generation of the large bubble masses prevents the accumulation of such materials altogether. In some embodiments, wastewater aeration is also provided, which, in combination with biological augmentation, further enhances the effectiveness of accumulated material removal.07-15-2010
20100278005Magnetic bubble mixer forming plate assembly - An improved bubble forming plate for a mixer employing large bubbles to mix liquids in a tank, comprising a gas injector, a bubble-forming undersurface and at least one permanent magnet affixed to the plate, the magnet providing sufficient magnetic force to retain the plate against the inner surface of the tank.11-04-2010
20110036762Digester gas mixer for waste liquid treatment - A mixer for anaerobic decomposition of sludge in a digester, captures and compressed biogas emitted by the decomposing sludge. The compressed biogas proceeds through supply lines to bubble forming plates mounted in the lower portion of the digester, close to or on the digester floor. Biogas accumulates under the forming plates to emerge as large mixing bubbles from 6 inches to 10 feet in diameter along their largest dimension. The mixing bubbles are large enough to move sludge as they rise to the surface and generate a mixing current in the sludge. The mixing current mixes the sludge, and bacteria and other microorganisms to promote the conversion of the pollutants contained in the sludge.02-17-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090279380Water supply mixing process - A process and system mixes drinking water stored in large water tower type storage tanks, preventing stratification of the water, by generating large mixing s bubbles in the tank's standpipe, causing mixing of layers of water in the tank through turbulence created as the bubbles rise through the tank. Embodiments of the present invention, adapted for use in storage tanks in which the standpipe serves as both water inlet and outlet, detect flow in the standpipe and provide mixing only when the standpipe is not serving as a water outlet.11-12-2009
