  • System for and method of improving accuracy and discrimination of liquids in capacitive moisture sensors
    Patent number: 11946892
    Abstract: For moisture detection and prevention systems, the reduction or prevention of false positive and false negative alarms is of immense economic value. A method of discriminating the types of materials in contact with a capacitive detector can be easily implemented even for battery-powered devices and has already proven useful in testing in preventing false alarms, and discriminating various solutions.

  • Method of accessing data and logic on existing systems through dynamic construction of software components
    Patent number: 6931623
    Abstract: A record layout in a legacy application is defined by the record definition in the source code of the language in which the application was written. For each record in a legacy application, the layout of the record is saved in a language-neutral and architecture neutral format in preparation for a runtime invocation. During runtime, for each record, the legacy application can send architecture-specific binary information as it exists in memory on the legacy computer to a component runtime environment that will construct a compatible object-oriented instance of a class to manipulate the information. Once the information is manipulated, the updated information can be represented to the original legacy application in an architecture-specific binary record layout.

  • Method of markup language accessing of host systems and data using a constructed intermediary
    Patent number: 6209124
    Abstract: A method of operating and communicating with a host computer system is provided using mark-up language inputs and outputs directed by an intermediary which has been previously constructed by formulation of the host data and program structures and host machine characteristics into a system of metadata which allows the reconstruction of requests and results into and out of mark-up languages binary data streams.

  • Inverse flash steam purifier
    Patent number: 5282876
    Abstract: Impure steam is partially cooled on a first side of an energy transfer dee, forming a condensate substantially free of CO.sub.2 and other non-condensible gases. The condensate is separated from the impure steam and accumulated in a separator/accumulator. The condensate stream is conveyed through a control valve back to a second side of the energy transfer device for reheating to steam substantially free of CO.sub.2 and other non-condensible gases.
