  • Patent number: 7588749
    Abstract: Apparatus, method and system for delivering a sterile unit dose of ozone that may include concentrating oxygen from air, which can include pressurizing at least one zeolite chamber having at least one zeolite material where the at least one zeolite material selectively adsorbs a substantial amount of nitrogen and not a substantial amount of oxygen. An oxygen-ozone cell may be filled with substantially concentrated oxygen from the at least one zeolite chamber. The oxygen-ozone cell may then be sequestered. The oxygen-ozone cell may be removed and may be engaged with an ozone conversion unit. The ozone conversion unit may charge the substantially concentrated oxygen generating a predetermined concentration of ozone. The oxygen-ozone cell may be disengaged from the ozone conversion unit.

  • Patent number: 7565308
    Abstract: A central hub server stands between a number of affiliate web sites and a number of vendor web sites to execute sales of vendor products featured on the affiliate web sites. Affiliate sites sign-up with the hub server and select products offered by vendors. The affiliate sites feature selected vendor products on their web sites. A buyer that browses an affiliate web site causes identifiers of the buyer, the affiliate site, and the product to be sent to the hub server. The hub server searches a database to find a picture of the product, its current price and the buyer's previously stored credit information and shipping address. The hub server returns a form to the user visiting the affiliate site, including a picture of the product, its price and a submit icon superimposed on the picture. If the buyer clicks on the submit icon, the purchase information is returned to the hub server.

  • Patent number: 7561563
    Abstract: When a connection request is sent from a telephone terminal, even if it is difficult to set a communication path to the destination telephone terminal only through the packet network, a circuit switching network is also used in cooperation with the packet network in order to set a communication path therethrough, so that call loss is prevented from occurring. In accordance with the communication path setting system of the present invention, when it is determined that an ADSL modem 22 connected to a VoIP network 1 is not operating, the MGC 62 sets a communication path between a telephone terminal 11 and a telephone terminal 12 through the VoIP network 1, a public switched telephone network 2 and a voice band signal processing unit 230 of the ADSL modem 22.

  • Patent number: 7515693
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for handling calls. In one embodiment of the invention, a call handling system is configured for handling a variety of emergency and/or non emergency related calls. For example, the call handling system may allow a call handler to recognize and respond to certain received call information, such as that information relating to fire, police, emergency medical and/or homeland security. The call handling system comprises a call interface configured for receiving the call information. A processor is communicatively coupled to the call interface and configured for processing the call information to initiate a protocol. This protocol may, as it progresses, be used to generate data for use in a CAD system. The CAD system may subsequently dispatch responders based on the generated data.
