  • Patent number: 12086879
    Abstract: A cryptocurrency mining system and a cryptocurrency mining method are provided. The system includes a plurality of mining modules. Each mining module includes: a plurality of AntBoxes, each AntBox being a computational unit that houses a plurality of miners for cryptocurrency farming; a transformer configured to convert an input voltage to a working voltage to supply electric power to the plurality of AntBoxes; and a switchgear and a plurality of panelboards configured to connect the AntBoxes with the transformer. The plurality of mining modules has substantially same structure arrangement. The structure arrangement includes: configurations of the AntBoxes, the transformer, the switchgear, and the panelboards, and relative locations among the AntBoxes, the transformer, the switchgear, and the panelboards.

  • Publication number: 20070049469
    Abstract: A light, ruggedized, easily used, easily storable and shippable article suitable for free-weight training at any number of pre-determined weights, is disclosed. The invention provides a bag suitable for filling with a readily available material such as sand or soil. The bag includes a pouch including indicia presenting a calibration marker. The bag also has a handle and a fixing structure. When one material from a predetermined set, for example dry, fine sand is filled in the pouch to the calibration marker, the bag is at a substantially pre-determined weight. The bag is then cinched tight with the fixing structure. In this fashion the bag may be gripped by the handle for free-weight training at a substantially predetermined weight. In preferred embodiments, the bag also includes orthogonally intersecting, reinforcing bands at the exterior on the bottom of the bag for rugged, long lasting use.

  • Publication number: 20070045584
    Abstract: A poppet valve for use with a sootblower for removing debris from an interior volume of a boiler is provided. The poppet valve assembly includes a valve housing and a valve head configured to move within the valve housing between an open position and a closed position. The poppet valve assembly enables the cleaning fluid to undergo relatively small pressure loss as it flows through the poppet valve assembly when the valve head is in the open position. More specifically, the poppet valve assembly has a loss factor that is substantially less than currently-known valves. The poppet valve causes the cleaning fluid to undergo relatively small pressure loss while flowing therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20060039306
    Abstract: Aspects of a system for enabling secure wireless communication of information between stations in a communication system may comprise a configurator, that exchanges configuration information with a client station, in an IEEE 802.11 communication system. The exchange of configuration information may be encrypted based on information transmitted between the configurator and the client station via a communication network, and information that remains locally on the configurator and locally on the client station. Aspects of a method for enabling secure wireless communication of information between stations in a communication system may comprise exchanging configuration information between a configurator and a client station, in an IEEE 802.11 communication system.

  • Publication number: 20060032468
    Abstract: An assembly and a method for removing a removable device from a wall box are provided. The removable device forms a substantially fluid-tight wall box seal with a wall box opening when the removable device is in a first position. The assembly for removing the removable device includes a sealing assembly located adjacent to the wall box opening and forming a substantially fluid-tight seal with a sealing portion of the removable device when the removable device is in a second position with respect to the wall box.
