Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100036961SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE NETWORK PROTOCOL SUPPORT - The present invention provides a system with multiple network protocol support. The system includes: a first memory, the first memory comprising program instructions for processing upper and lower layers of the network protocol; a first processor, where the first processor processes the upper layers of the network protocol for a data packet according to the program instructions in the first memory; and a second processor, where the second processor processes lower layers of the network protocol for the data packet according to the program instructions in the first memory. When the network protocol is changed, instructions for the new protocol is fetched from a second memory and placed in the first memory. Thus, the hardware of the system need not be redesigned when changing protocols, and the same on-system unit is used to implement each protocol. This increases flexibility, provides cost effectiveness, and increases the reliability of the system.02-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100003204Nanoparticle hybrid sunscreens - The invention discloses and claims a new class of chemical compositions with ideal sunscreen properties. The chemical composition comprises spherical particles between 200 nm and 10 microns in diameter prepared by an emulsion polymerization of tetraalkoxysilanes or organotrialkoxysilanes or organobridged trialkoxysilanes with a dye monomer bearing two or more alkoxysilyl groups attached to the bridging chromophore. The resulting spheres absorb ultraviolet light. The dye can be any organic chromophore capable of receiving multiple trialkoxysilyl groups resulting in multipoint covalent attachment that precludes leaching of the dye from the spheres. The formic acid-toluene-monomer emulsion polymerization allows for large-scale (>100 gram) synthesis of monodisperse particles under acidic, non-aqueous conditions without surfactants. The particles less than 1 micron in diameter are smooth as talc to the touch and will provide a smooth formulation for sunscreen creams or lotions.01-07-2010
