  • Publication number: 20110129399
    Abstract: A metal oxide powder includes a powder feed material structured and arranged to form molten droplets when melted in a plasma stream. The molten droplets are structured and arranged to form frozen spherical droplets under free-fall conditions such that said molten droplets have ample time for complete in-flight solidification before reaching a collection chamber.

  • Patent number: 7931836
    Abstract: According to aspects of the present invention, metal oxide powder, such as yttria and alumina powder (feed material), is processed using a plasma apparatus. The process generally consists of in-flight heating and melting of the feed material by the plasma apparatus. The plasma apparatus contains a plasma torch with required power supply and cooling systems, a powder feeder, a chamber to collect the powder and a dedusting system. The heated powder forms molten spherical droplets that are rapidly cooled under free fall conditions. The plasma densification process removes some impurity oxides, modifies the morphology of the particle and increases the apparent density of the powder.

  • Publication number: 20100222995
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for link promotion for a navigation system allows expansion of search in a lower layer to determine an optimum climbing point to an upper layer to search an optimum route. The link promotion procedure includes the steps of determining whether an upper link exists for a lower link, setting the upper link as a promoted link if such an upper link exists even if a climbing node point does not exist that connect the lower link and the upper link, and comparing a candidate normal route and a promoted route to find an optimum route.

  • Publication number: 20100169007
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a navigation system is designed to avoid traffic rule violation. The method includes the steps of: evaluating requirements prescribed by local carpool lane regulation for using a carpool lane of a road; determining a number of occupants of a vehicle; determining whether the number of occupants of the vehicle satisfies the requirements; detecting a current location of the vehicle as to which lane the vehicle is running; detecting a lane change action for the carpool lane indicating that the vehicle enters the carpool lane or about to enter the carpool lane; and generating a warning for notifying violation of carpool lane regulation when the lane change action for the carpool lane is detected and the number of occupants fails to satisfy the requirements.

  • Publication number: 20080310399
    Abstract: Methods and systems for connecting a phone to a client via a network by using an electronic notification system, which may include a third-party internet electronic messenger service, such as, Yahoo messenger™, Google Talk™, MSN messenger™ software, or email systems. The system includes a server that is connected to the network and receives a call from the phone and that sends a notification of the incoming call to the client via the electronic notification system like internet messenger service of choice of the client/receiver. The user of the client, receiver, launches an internet phone on the client in response to the notification by clicking on the called-context link. Then, the server connects the phone to the client via the internet phone whereby providing a communication between the receiver and a user of the phone, caller.

  • Publication number: 20070189492
    Abstract: A system and method that routes special number calls from communications devices to an answering point that is selected based on a parameter. A peering network effects parameter-based routing of calls to a pre-assigned answering point, wherein the voice path and the signaling paths are set up simultaneously. A gateway in the peering network is connected to the service provider switch and receives special number calls. The gateway queries a pre-provisioned parameter server that determines call routing information for the particular communications device. The gateway then selects another gateway based on the routing information and delivers the call to the other gateway. The other gateway is connected to a router in the destination network and delivers the call and the call parameters to the router.

    Abstract: A system and method that routes special number calls from communications devices, including VoIP communications devices, to an answering point that is selected based on a parameter. A peering network effects parameter-based routing of calls to a pre-assigned answering point, wherein the voice path and the signaling paths are set up simultaneously. A gateway in the peering network is connected to the service provider switch and receives special number calls. The gateway queries a pre-provisioned parameter server that determines call routing information for the particular communications device. The gateway then selects another gateway, or, optionally, a selective router access provider network, based on the routing information and delivers the call thereto. The other gateway or selective router access provider network is connected to a router in the destination network and delivers the call and the call parameters to the router.

  • Publication number: 20070036139
    Abstract: A method for use in diverse networks that authenticates inter-network resource requests. A router in a first network receives a request for a resource from a second network. The router sends a query to an element in the second network to determine whether the request actually originated there. If the request did originate from the second network, the request is processed according to the procedure for the requested resource. If the request did not originate from the second network, then the first network terminates the request. Thus, no network resources are consumed unnecessarily by accidental or malicious requests.
