Abstract: A computer implemented method includes obtaining voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication quality data for a communication associated with a user device communicating via an access point. The communication is associated with quality data. For each communication, the quality data is segmented into a plurality of segments each corresponding to a respective segment of the communication. For each segment, the method includes determining a score for the segment indicative of an evaluation of an overall quality of the segment, and associating the score with the user device and the access point. The method also includes determining a performance for the user device user device and for the access point based on the scores associated with the user device and the access point.

Abstract: A pulse transmitter for fluid metering includes concentric gearing, with the exciter gear concentric with the main shaft in the center. Because of this concentricity, one can put practically any number of additional coils (typically four) to get four or more outputs. Also, each coil could be dual output to get eight outputs from four coils. Each coil preferably produces 1000 pulses per revolution of the main shaft. Because of its compactness and light weight, this pulse transmitter has a more practical application in the liquid metering industry than prior transmitters.

Abstract: A system for controlling temperature and humidity in an enclosure, that has a central air conditioning system; a dehumidifier attached to a return air duct of the central air conditioning system; and a system control unit that comprises a thermostat, dehumidstat and can control a cooling solenoid valve to provide temperature control, and control a dehumidifier solenoid valve to provide humidity control. The cooling solenoid valve and the dehumidifier solenoid valve can be independently activated based on the temperature and humidity of the enclosure. Embodiments of the present invention include systems that are easily modify existing air conditioning systems.

Abstract: A method and system for avoiding data loss in communications systems. The method and system achieve their objects via communications equipment adapted to do the following: designate a first data-producing system controlled by a first clock; designate a second data-producing system controlled by a second clock; record a timing mismatch between the first clock and the second clock; and dynamically adjust data flow between the first and the second system in response to the recorded timing mismatch.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the soldering process which comprises a soldering ans including a means for monitoring analog heat flow, a means, connected to said soldering means, for converting analog heat flow readings into a digital temperature data points, a computing means, connected to said means for converting analog heat flow readings into digital data points, which smoothes the temperature data points; locates the beginning of the temperature data point decay; locates the beginning of the temperature data point recovery; calibrates the system for monitoring the soldering process; and classifies the current temperature data point input as an iron cleaning operation or a soldering operation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for monitoring the continued rotation of a non-magnetically attractive indicator, e.g., a rotating, plastic dial, disc, wheel, arm or the like of a meter. The present invention is particularly useful for detecting the satisfactory operation of flow meters, e.g., meters used to determine the flow of fluids from oil and gas wells, in transmission lines and in chemical processing plants. The present invention provides a system for monitoring the operation or rotation by employing a rotating, magnetically attractive actuator to actuate a magnetic switch which in turn actuates an electrical switch for producing a monitoring signal. The apparatus and method of the present invention provide a rigid, dependable, accurate and wear-free device for monitoring the continued operation of a flow or other meter.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus useful for measuring the flow of an abrasive fluid. The present invention comprises a rotary metering device particularly useful for the measurement of oil well production fluids including sand and other abrasive materials. The present invention comprises a rotary metering device for repetitively producing a measuring chamber by the shuttle movement of a plurality of symmetrically disposed blades through slots in a rotor body into and out of a fluid flow channel between the rotor body and its housing. The rotor body of the present invention includes slots having surfaces comprised of a highly wear resistant metal, preferably having a hardness between about 40 and about 70 on the Rockwell C hardness scale to increase the service life of the meter.
