Patent number: 7758560Abstract: A method and system for handling hazardous materials contained in a vial includes an isolation enclosure having an opening selectively sealable about the vial, a bag body portion, and a cap portion. A latching extraction element is attached to the cap portion and has a preceding engaging member to secure the vial to the isolation enclosure, an extraction member to be inserted into the vial and remove material therefrom, and a primary engaging member to secure the vial to the extraction member. A valve is mounted outside the isolation enclosure and controls the flow of fluid from the vial. An adaptor having a reseal member permits flow when coupled to the valve and restricts flow when uncoupled from the valve. Once uncoupled, the adaptor is removably associated with a second valve located remotely from the isolation enclosure, allowing fluid to pass into the second valve.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Edward G. Connell, Marwan Fathallah, Kenneth A. Hsu, John Norman, William L. Rudzena, Karl J. Sprague, John S. Ziegler

Patent number: 7626999Abstract: An exemplary method for circuit emulation over a multi-packet label switching (MPLS) network comprises the steps of receiving a time division multiplexed data stream at an ingress end, dividing the data stream into a set of fixed sized packets, adding a service header to each of the packets, adding an additional header on top of the service header in accordance with MPLS protocols, removing the additional header after each packet has been processed by the MPLS network, and using the service header to recover the data stream at an egress end.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2001Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Tellabs San Jose, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Hsu, Mitri Halabi

Publication number: 20060242621Abstract: A system and method is provided to manage different UI language settings in a central place by merging different UI language settings and related dependency data to an integrated UI language preference list. A set of API functions is provided that enables each resource loader to gain consistent UI language support by interacting with the integrated UI language preference list.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2005Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shenghua Ye, Wei Wu, Julie Bennett, Kenneth Hsu, Laura Gomez, Mohammed El-Gammal

Publication number: 20060151402Abstract: The process for suppressing the growth of green algae in aqueous systems, such as lakes or rivers, comprises introducing carbon dioxide, preferably industrially produced carbon dioxide, into the water to be treated, thereby acidifying the water and suppressing the growth of green algae and promoting the growth of diatoms. The carbon dioxide can be produced by industry. Thus disposal of such industrially produced gases for acidification of waters serves for cleaning water and leads at the same time to clean air.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2003Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventor: Kenneth Hsu

Publication number: 20050102253Abstract: An improved application architecture comprises a bifurcated structure having a language neutral portion and a localizable portion, compacted for efficiency into a smaller set of larger files. This bifurcated structure allows for easier distribution and updating of the application, while the reduced set of files provides for more efficient file management. A resource manifest can be specified during the compile stage to identify elements that are language specific and elements that remain language neutral. Furthermore, additional software can be used after compilation for compacting multiple localizable elements into a single file. Such compacting software can receive inputs specifying the language specific resources which are to be compacted into larger files, and the identity of those larger files.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Wei Wu, Shenghua Ye, Julie Bennett, Mohammed El-Gammal, Frank Chu, Sunggook Chue, Kenneth Hsu, Laura Gomez

Publication number: 20040100990Abstract: A method of requesting broadband content service with associated bandwidth provisioning in near real time is disclosed. With this concise facility, broadband services may be deployed in the conventional “always-on” mode but at a bare minimum bandwidth. This will encourage much larger subscriber base than currently possible. The convenience of obtaining premium service on-demand offers content providers and carriers opportunity to realize profits based on subscriber's improved willingness.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2002Publication date: May 27, 2004Inventors: Abraham Y. Chen, David Ta-Wei Chen, Darru Kenneth Hsu

Patent number: 6652509Abstract: A housing that can be used to form and maintain a fluid-tight connection between a container and a medical device. The housing comprises an internal receiving surface circumscribing a cavity into which a fitting of the medical device can be inserted. The internal receiving surface comprises a first wall portion having a first contact annulus and a second wall portion having a second contact annulus. Upon insertion of the fitting into an opening in the cavity of the housing, the fitting forms a primary seal with the first contact annulus and a secondary seal with the second contact annulus. The primary seal is formed as the surface of the fitting contacts the first contact annulus of the internal receiving surface of the housing. The secondary seal is formed as the surface of the fitting contacts the second contact annulus of the internal receiving surface of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2000Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: R. Hayes Helgren, Kenneth A. Hsu, Gary L. Johnston, Ray A. Winfield

Patent number: 5645322Abstract: An "in-situ reactor" is provided to facilitate recovery of metals and salts such as potassium, lithium, gold from salt-bearing natural waters, sediments, and rocks by passing a fluid containing such metals and salts through a reactive chemical bed placed at the bottom of a reactor, the metal and salt bearing fluid flowing through the reactive chemical bed to react with the active components to produce a fluid from which the metals and salts can be more easily extracted.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1995Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Tarim Associates for Scientific Mineral & Oil ExplorationInventors: Kenneth Hsu, Peter Hsu, Frank W.
