Publication number: 20160360918Abstract: A rotary tea maker includes a tea cup and a tea infuser. After the tea is brewed in a tea brewing room of the tea infuser, through rotation of the tea infuser, the tea is discharged from the tea brewing room to be stored in a tea room of the tea cup for use. The tea in the tea brewing room flows to a passage from a water outlet of the tea infuser and then enters the tea room from a through hole of the tea cup. During the process, the air in the tea room is expelled to the passage from the through hole when the tea is poured and then flows to the tea brewing room through an air hole of an air pipe of the tea infuser, so that the tea in the tea brewing room can be discharged to the tea room smoothly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2016Publication date: December 15, 2016Inventors: Han Tsung Chen, Hsiu Lan Lu, Wei Fu Chen

Patent number: 9306871Abstract: The present invention sets forth a methodology that allows involved processes to partition among themselves a pre-defined set of multi-type resources in a way that all processes end up satisfied with the outcome of the partitioning, and no central mediation for such partitioning is required. One exemplary embodiment of the invention sets forth a method of allocating multiple type resources among a distributed set of processes that includes the steps of selecting a process from the set of processes for partitioning the resources; partitioning the resources at the selected process; sharing results of the partitioning with others of the set of processes, wherein said other processes select a partition from the partitioned resources; the selected process being able to select a partition subsequent to the other processes having selected a partition. The method also repeats the above steps until all currently involved processes are satisfied by a selected partition of available resources.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2005Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Igor Faynberg, Hui-Lan Lu

Patent number: 8973125Abstract: In a communication network, assume a first computing device is an end user device, a second computing device is a gateway server, and a third computing device is an application server. A method comprises the following steps. The second computing device authenticates one or more packets received from the first computing device. The second computing device marks the one or more packets with a first-layer identity before routing the one or more packets toward the third computing device such that the third computing device is able to authenticate the one or more packets from the first computing device by confirming an association between the first-layer identity and a second-layer identity. For example, the first-layer identity may comprise a link layer identity assigned to the first computing device and the second-layer identity may comprise an application layer identity assigned to the first computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Igor Faynberg, Hui-Lan Lu

Patent number: 8920929Abstract: The present disclosure provides a flexible, halogen-free, flame retardant composition. The composition includes from about 25 wt % to about 95 wt % of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU); from about 5 wt % to about 50 wt % of an olefin block copolymer (OBC); and from about 30 wt % to about 70 wt % of a flame retardant. The flame retardant is selected from resorcinol bis(diphenyl 5 phosphate) (RDP), bis diphenyl phosphate (BDP), bisphenol-A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BPADP), aluminum trihydrate (ATH), a nitrogen/phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant, epoxidized novolac resin, and combinations thereof. The composition requires no compatibilizer for the TPU and OBC. The composition finds application in wire and cable structures.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Given Jing Chen, Wilson Xiao Wei Yan, Bin Li, Lan Lu, Weiming Wayne Ma, Lotus Hua Huang, David Hong Fei Guo

Patent number: 8776204Abstract: In a communication network wherein a first computing device represents a resource owner and a second computing device represents a resource requestor, the resource owner detects an occurrence of an event, wherein the event occurrence represents a request to access one or more resources of the resource owner stored in a resource residence. The resource owner sends an authorization token to the resource requestor in response to the event occurrence, the authorization token serving as a proof of authorization delegated by the resource owner to be presented by the resource requestor to the resource residence so as to permit the resource requestor to access the one or more requested resources stored in the resource residence.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Igor Faynberg, Hui-Lan Lu
