  • Magnetostriction aided switching
    Patent number: 7880573
    Abstract: A method for reducing a temperature rise of a magnetic material is provided. The method includes applying force to the magnetic material to reduce a dimensional change of the magnetic material during a first part of an operation cycle, such as due to magnetostriction. The force is removed from the magnetic material during a second part of an operation cycle, allowing magnetostrictive dimensional changes to occur.
    Type: Grant

  • Email address verification
    Patent number: 7689654
    Abstract: A system and method for sending email. The method includes the steps of receiving: an email address including a destination domain from a user; prior to sending a message to the destination domain, determining whether the destination domain will receive email; and providing an indication to the user that the email may not be deliverable to the address. In one embodiment, the step of determining includes maintaining a list of problematic destination domains and checking the destination domain against said list.

  • Power Converter Having Multiple Layer Heat Sinks
    Publication number: 20090237889
    Abstract: A power converter including a printed circuit board (PCB) having a plurality of heat conductive layers configured to sink heat generated by the power converter electronics. Each of these heat conductive layers are comprised of thermally conductive material configured as planar sheets, each of these heat conductive layers being coupled to at least one wire to sink heat therefrom, such as via a wire of an input cable and/or output cable. Advantageously, a more compact power converter is realized having improved power output while operating within safety guidelines.

  • Magnetostriction air pump
    Publication number: 20080085197
    Abstract: A magnetostriction based pump for cooling a power supply is provided. One exemplary embodiment of the invention utilizes one of the components that is already present in the power supply. The expense of the cooling system is minimized, as it is limited to a diaphragm and any channel routing. The airflow can be targeted at multiple devices by adding additional cooling channels or channeling the flow of air over multiple components.

  • Reciprocal public trust relationship
    Publication number: 20060288073
    Abstract: Publicly accessible linking information is to establish a trusted relationship between reciprocally linked entities controlling web resources, such as websites or web logs. A method of establishing a trust relationship between two entities identifying a user-installed link to a second web resource in a first web resource. Next, the method determines when a reciprocal link is made in the second web resource directed to the first web resource and creates a trust relationship between the entities based on the reciprocal link.

  • Aqueous sample holder for EPR and MR spectroscopy
    Patent number: 7088101
    Abstract: A sample holder for use in an EPR spectrometer is extruded using a material having a low dielectric constant. The extruded sample holder has a plurality of channels formed in it for holding sample material for testing. The shape and orientation of these channels are such that losses due to the high dielectric constant of the sample are minimized. Sample holders for cylindrical and rectangular cavity resonators and uniform field cavity resonators are disclosed, as well as for two-gap and four-gap loop-gap resonators.
