| 20110308953 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DESALINATION AND PURIFICATION - A liquid electrolyte can be desalinated and purified using a system that includes a first electrode and a configuration selected from (a) a second electrode and at least one distinct ion-selective boundary and (b) a second electrode that also serves as the ion-selective boundary. The ion-selective boundary is contained in the liquid conduit adjacent to a porous medium that defines pore channels filled with the liquid and that have a surface charge, and the charge of the ion-selective boundary and the surface charge of the pore channels share the same sign. A liquid including at least one charged species flows through the pore channels, forming a thin diffuse electrochemical double layer at an interface of the liquid and the charged surface of the pore channels. A voltage differential is applied between the electrodes across the porous medium to draw ions in the liquid to the electrodes to produce brine at the electrodes and to create a shock in the dissolved-ion concentration in the bulk volume of the liquid within the pore channels, wherein a depleted zone with a substantially reduced concentration of dissolved ions forms in the liquid bulk volume between the shock and the ion-selective boundary. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20080307519 | PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK OVER A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK - The present invention provides a new network topology.

| 20110033034 | High-Assurance Teleconference Authentication - A method is provided for authorizing an authenticated user into a teleconference session as a participant that avoids some of the costs and disadvantages of doing so in the prior art. The authorization is a combination of the enterprise user's authentication at work and cryptographic authorization to the teleconference system by the inviter. When a user goes to work and connects with his or her office computer to the network of the user's employer, a secure single sign-on (SSO) access control procedure is executed. In a secure single sign-on (SSO) access control procedure, the user submits authentication information, such as a user name and password, to an identity provider and receives back a credential token when the identity provider determines that the user name/password pair is valid. The credential token is saved on the user's computer and used for further authentication. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110041166 | Method of Password Assignment - A method is provided in which a user registers a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address with a server that uses digest access authentication; If the user has another address already registered with the server, the server requests the user name and password for the existing address. The user enters the user name and password into a client application. The client application transmits the user name and password to the registration server as clear text over an encrypted channel. The registration server generates a digest from the received user name and password and compares the generated digest with the digest stored on the registration server for the existing address in order to determine whether the user submitted a valid user name and password. If the generated and stored digests match, the registration server sets the password for the existing email account of the user as the password for the new email. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20120057565 | DLS-ASSISTED WIRED TO WIRELESS HANDOVER - Solutions are proposed to enable a seamless handover/handback of a communication between a docked state and an undocked state. The transfer is effected by performing a transfer between a docked persona of a user and an undocked persona of that same user. By utilizing certain SIP transfer mechanisms or H.323 bridged-appearances, in-progress call sessions and media can be sustained during handover and/or handback. | 03-08-2012 |
