  • Publication number: 20170050868
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a portable electrodialysis unit powered by photovoltaic panels for treating brackish/saline water and produce potable water for consumption. Potable water is important in water-scarce regions or circumstances, such as desert, drought, military operations, or natural disasters. The present invention provides a photovoltaic powered desalination system capable of dynamically changing salt removal rate and product water flow rate in order to fully utilize solar energy captured by the photovoltaic panels. The invention includes a direct electric current provided by one or more photovoltaic panels that charges batteries and provide an steady electric current to an electrodialysis desalinization unit and a control unit. The control unit communicates with the photovoltaic panels and electrodialysis unit, in conjunction with sensors to monitor water flow, conductivity, pressure, water elevation levels, and/or temperature, to create a closed loop feedback system.

  • Publication number: 20120072358
    Abstract: In one implementation, customer service is managed by a contact center. The contact center includes a contact center server and an agent device. The contact center server monitors external social media to identify a social media post by a customer. The social media post may be filtered by the customer names, product identities, and/or the nature of the post. The contact center server accesses a database storing a plurality of agent identities and searches the social media for a reply to the customer's social media post. Replies may be identified using subject line or a reply indicator. The contact center server stores the reply to the social media post.

  • Patent number: 7949801
    Abstract: Coprocessor systems for using a main microprocessor DMA channel to write to a port to control a coprocessor system are provided. In certain examples, coprocessor systems are described using a main CPU counter to trigger a DMA channel to perform a single byte transfer to a port used to control coprocessor command timing.

  • Publication number: 20050021626
    Abstract: According to a particular embodiment of the present invention, a communication system includes a first browser operable to submit requests for one or more web pages and a request to share the one or more requested web pages with another browser, the request to share specifying the other browser. The communication system also includes a web media server operable, in response to the request to share, to: (1) establish a communication session with the first browser; (2) establish a media session and a signaling session with a remote web media server, the remote web media server being associated with the other browser that the first browser specified in the request to share, the signaling session including a standard signaling protocol; (3) receive web page information from the first browser; and (4) communicate shared web page information to the remote web media server using the media session.
