Abstract: A dross processing assembly includes a stirring station at which dross in a first dross recovery vessel is stirred and a pressing station at which previously stirred dross in a second dross recovery vessel is pressed simultaneously with the stirring of the dross in the first dross recovery vessel. The stirring station and the pressing station may be commonly housed in an enclosure. A conveyor system may advance dross recovery vessels through the dross processing assembly for continuous dross processing.

Abstract: A wireless access point (WAP) configured to supporting wireless communications with station nodes on a selected communication channel of an associated wireless local area network (WLAN). The WAP includes multiple multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit and receive paths. The WAP is to intermittently switch one of the multiple MIMO receive paths to concurrently process both communications on a selected communication channel together with monitoring communications on unselected channels of the multiple communication channels associated with the WLAN.

Abstract: A wireless access point (WAP) configured to support a wireless home network among multiple wireless devices over a shared wireless communication medium on a selected channel. In an embodiment of the invention the WAP includes a channel tracker configured to track performance metrics over time for at least the selected channel; and to predict based on the tracked performance metrics at least one of: a predicted time of an impending channel changeover requirement in which a projected demand for the selected channel exceeds a projected capacity thereof and a predicted time of an impending monitoring interval for monitoring an unselected channel with relatively minimal disruption of communications on the selected channel. In another embodiment of the invention the WAP includes receive path components configured to concurrently process both communications on the selected channel together with monitored communications on an unselected channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of an aluminum dross cooling head are disclosed. The cooling cooperates with a material container encapsulate dross and reduce thermiting of the dross. In one embodiment, the cooling head also serves as a compression head when forced into the dross by a cooperating dross press assembly.

Abstract: A method for managing audio of a device including scanning for an audio controller of a docking station coupled to the device, determining whether an audio device is coupled to an audio interface of the docking station if the device is coupled to the audio controller, and transferring audio between the device and the audio controller of the docking station if the audio device is coupled to the audio interface of the docking station.

Abstract: A system and method for personalizing an article in real-time is provided. A selection of an article for personalization is accepted from a user. A model of the selected article is displayed. At least one personalization attribute is accepted from the user. The model is modified and displayed, based on the at least one accepted personalization attribute, as the at least one personalization attribute is accepted, thereby enabling the user to personalize the article in real-time. The article may be an article of jewelry, such as a ring, a necklace, or a watch.

Abstract: A technique for utilizing an intermediate access point (IAP) with a wireless access point (WAP) that uses 3-address mode involves making use of a bridge table that includes media access control (MAC) addresses of stations registered with the IAP and internet protocol (IP) addresses of the stations stored in association with the corresponding MAC address. A bridging engine can obtain an IP address from a WAP IP frame and match the IP address to an IP address in the bridge table to find the corresponding MAC address. The bridging engine can encapsulate at least a portion of the WAP IP frame to create an IAP frame with the corresponding MAC address as the receiver address (RA).
