  • Patent number: 11953959
    Abstract: A hybrid apparatus for charging electric vehicles and mining cryptocurrency is provided. The apparatus may comprise an electric power input associated with a rated maximum power capacity, an electric vehicle charger, a cryptocurrency miner and a power coordinator. The electric vehicle charger may have at least one vehicle power outlet and a maximum charger power draw from the electric power input. The cryptocurrency miner may have multiple cryptocurrency mining computers and a maximum miner power draw from the electric power input. Each mining computer may have an adjustable intensity level. The power coordinator may be configured to determine mining power availability within the rated maximum power capacity after prioritizing power demand by the electric vehicle charger, and to direct the cryptocurrency miner to continue mining cryptocurrency by adjusting the intensity levels of the mining computers such that the cryptocurrency miner consumes not more than the mining power availability.

  • Patent number: 11934432
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a dynamic label for a real-time communication session. An ongoing communication session is monitored to identify a content characteristic of the communication session. A size of a sliding window is determined based on the content characteristic, where the size of the sliding window defines a segment of the communication session to include in the most recent subset of communications. The most recent subset of communications is analyzed to identify relevant words based on one or more relevancy criteria. A dynamic label associated with the communication session is generated, where the dynamic label includes at least a selected one of the relevant words.

  • Publication number: 20230062177
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating indications of real-time communication sessions. An ongoing communication session is monitored to identify a most recent subset of communications, the most recent subset of communications being defined by a sliding window. The most recent subset of communications is analysed to identify one or more relevant words, based on at least a user-specific relevancy criterion, the user-specific relevancy criterion being relevant to a user-specific topic associated with a given user profile. Responsive to identifying the one or more relevant words, an indication of the ongoing communication session is provided to a user device associated with the given user profile.

  • Patent number: 8693328
    Abstract: A computer based system and method for distributing a global shaper rate implemented across multiple traffic processing devices. A controller distributes credits according to the demand (amount of traffic, or offered load) of each device, in such a way to achieve global targets, including the shaper rate, strict prioritization of traffic, WFQ weights and fairness between cloned channels, iteratively updated as changes occur in the quantity and makeup of the traffic across the devices.

  • Publication number: 20060118490
    Abstract: A method of preparing mesoporous inorganic oxide spherical particles includes providing a reaction mixture capable of producing mesoporous inorganic oxide spheres; heating the reaction mixture to produce mesostructured inorganic oxide particles and removing organic material from the mesostructured inorganic oxide particles to form the mesoporous inorganic oxide spherical particles. In one embodiment a reaction mixture includes a proton donor, a source of inorganic oxide, and a source of fluoride. In another embodiment a reaction mixture includes a proton donor, a source of inorganic oxide, and an alcohol. Mesoporous inorganic oxide spheres produced by the method of the present invention are also provided.

  • Patent number: 5134014
    Abstract: A heat moldable composite panel is particularly useful as an automotive headliner and other as structural parts which must have heat and sound insulating properties as well as sound absorbing properties. The panel comprises a corrugated core which is advantageously dual arched core or corrugated metal foil, with opposite sides. One side is covered by a linerboard and is attached to the core through thermoplastic adhesive. The opposite side is covered by a thermoformable foam layer which is attached to the core by heat activatable adhesive. The entire structure is formable in a molding die at relatively low temperatures.
