Patent number: 6587441Abstract: A wireless, redundant, secure, real-time, network for a proprietary interactive data transfer system having a remote terminal and a host data center, such as an automated teller banking system, is disclosed. Controllers for the remote terminal and the host data center receive the proprietary language messages and packetize and encrypt the messages for sending over the best wireless carrier among the plurality of wireless carriers the controllers are connected to. The wireless control protocol monitors the communications to provide for selection of the most reliable communication carrier for any part of a transmission. Each network segment of the signal path has at least one state-controlled gate which reports the status of that signal path. Real time transmission and acknowledgment of securely packetized messages on wireless communications carriers via an object oriented coding control application provides for reliable datagram transfer independent of the reliability of any one signal path.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1999Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Technology Alternatives, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Urban, Jeffrey Barhorst, Christopher C.

Patent number: 5707425Abstract: The present process is directed to the efficient recovery of helium gas from gas streams which contain about 25 percent by volume or more helium. The process comprises two stages of pressure swing adsorption, each stage being comprised of a plurality of interconnected adsorbent beds. In the first stage of pressure swing adsorption which is comprised of about five phases, the helium content of the gas stream is increased to 95 percent by volume or more. A secondary product gas stream from the first stage of pressure swing adsorption is fed to the second stage of pressure swing adsorption. The second stage of pressure swing adsorption increases the helium content of this primarily non-helium product gas to more than about 50 percent by volume. This gas now with a helium content of more than about 50 percent by volume is fed along with the gas stream as the input gas to the first stage of pressure swing adsorption.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1996Date of Patent: January 13, 1998Assignee: Nitrotec CorporationInventors: Joseph S.
