Patent number: 8934925Abstract: Described is a pipeline for handling notification messages sent to a mobile messaging message (e.g., SMS or SMTP) recipient, and handling a reply to that notification message, including correlating the notification message with the reply. An engine receives a notification message, and for a notification message to which a reply is possible, maintains state data for use in correlating a received reply with the notification message. The state data includes metadata that indicates that text or code data is expected in any reply. For a reply providing code data, the engine calls a selected URL corresponding to the code. To facilitate message delivery, the engine may format the notification message, including shortening a URL of the message, and/or splitting a longer notification message into shorter notification messages.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2010Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thomas Anand Jeyaseelan, Jianfeng Yan, Suresh Parameshwar, Zhou Xiang, Sridhar Srinivasan, Keizo Fujiwara

Patent number: 7749311Abstract: A treatment system to efficiently remove lead from dust contained in extracted cement kiln combustion gas while reducing facility and running costs. A treatment system 1 comprising a probe 3 for extracting a part of combustion gas, while cooling it, from a kiln exhaust gas passage, which runs from an inlet end of a cement kiln to a bottom cyclone; a first classifier 5 for separating coarse powder from dust contained in the combustion gas extracted; a dust collector 7 for collecting dust from the extracted gas containing fine powder discharged from the first classifier 5; and a second classifier 8 for dividing dust discharged from the dust collector 7 into fine powder and coarse powder, and others. Since more lead is distributed on the fine powder side classified by the second classifier 8, lead can efficiently be removed without using chemicals and the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Taiheiyo Cement CorporationInventors: Shinichiro Saito, Keizo Fujiwara
