| 20100059454 | Method for clean-up of an underground plume contaminated with hydrocarbon leakage, and the like - An underground plume of water and soil which has been contaminated typically by H2S and/or hydrocarbon leakage from underground fuel containers is mitigated by a process of injecting a combination of colloids, peroxides and enzymes. This is accomplished by obtaining core samples to determine the extent of contamination thereby defining the perimeter of the plume, and drilling a series of injection well sites on a pavement or other surface to mitigate the leakage. In a first stage of mitigation, a colloid containing micelles is pressured into the injection wells, the colloid functioning to neutralize hydrocarbons, MTBE, solvents, and similar compounds, thereby mitigating the plume contamination. In a second stage, if mitigation of the plume contamination proves insufficient using colloid treatment, peroxides are then pressured into the injection wells. Typical peroxides could include hydrogen peroxide and various other peroxides. In a third stage of mitigation if necessary, enzymes are utilized for pressurization into the injection sites to digest the remnants of the contamination. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100142967 | Reference Clock Rate Detection for Variable Rate Transceiver Modules - A system and method are provided for determining an optical signal frequency range in an optical/electrical transceiver. The method receives an optical receive signal having a non-predetermined data rate via a network interface, and also receives an electrical reference clock signal having a non-predetermined frequency via a framer interface. The reference clock signal frequency is cross-referenced to an optical receive signal frequency. In one aspect a clock and data recovery (CDR) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is selected having an output frequency matching the cross-referenced optical receive signal frequency. The optical receive signal is converted to an electrical receive signal. Initially, the VCO is frequency-locked to the reference clock. Subsequent to frequency-locking the VCO output frequency, the converted optical signal is phase-locked, generating a receive data clock. The CDR supplies a converted optical receive signal and receive data clock to the framer interface. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090303054 | Method and apparatus for a wireless tether system - Method and apparatus to provide a wireless tether system is described. In one embodiment, one or more wireless tether apparatuses are in wireless communication with one or more base units. A wireless tether apparatus may be configured such that when separated from a base unit greater than a predetermined distance, such a wireless tether apparatus provides information to the user of the wireless tether apparatus to aid a user such as a human, animal, or machine in finding their way back to a desired location. A predetermined distance may be configured to change over time to accommodate different tether distance requirements at different times, e.g., closer to a home location at night and further away from the home location during the day. In one aspect, wireless tether apparatuses and base units communicate using a plurality of different communication modes such that when one mode fails other modes are utilized to reestablish a connection therebetween. In another aspect of the present invention, a plurality of wireless tether apparatuses are wirelessly tethered together such that individual proximities are maintained but still allow a plurality of wireless tether apparatus users to move about in an expanded range. In one aspect, a wireless tether system is employed such that one or more wireless tether apparatuses may be dynamically assigned to a plurality of base stations to allow changes to wireless tether apparatus locations and distances. In another aspect, when wireless tether apparatuses leave a predetermined tether distance, one or more alerts may be broadcast from the wireless tether apparatuses indicative thereof to other wireless signal receivers in proximity thereto not normally used as wireless tether signal receivers. | 12-10-2009 |
