  • Patent number: 10187355
    Abstract: A copy of a request for content from a content provider is initially received from a client device. The copy of the request indicates a unique identifier of the client device, an originating network address of the client device, and a destination network address of the content provider. The client device is associated with a network provider based on the originating network address. It is determined that the network provider belongs to a predetermined class. Activation of a private network switch is enabled on the client device to provide an encrypted connection between the client device and a private network server before the request is forwarded to the content provider based on the determination that the network provider belongs to the predetermined class.

  • Publication number: 20080213498
    Abstract: A graphite coated tow of fibers having exfoliated and pulverized graphite platelets coated on an outer surface of the fibers are provided. A process is provided for surface coating of the graphite platelets onto the fibers. The graphite coated tow of fibers are used to produce a reinforced composite material. Reinforced composite materials incorporating the graphite coated fibers can be electrostatically painted without using a conductive primer on a surface to be painted.

  • Publication number: 20060241237
    Abstract: Graphite nanoplatelets of expanded graphite and composites and products produced therefrom are described. The graphite is expanded by microwaves or radiofrequency waves in the presence of a gaseous atmosphere. Various devices are described for expanding the intercalated graphite by means of microwaves or other radiofrequency waves to produce the expanded graphite. These devices can be used in a continuous process.

  • Publication number: 20060017821
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for inspecting equipment using focal plane array imaging sensor data and dynamic sensor data. Methods involve capturing focal plane array imaging sensor data using a focal plane array imaging sensor such as an infrared camera or a visible camera, or acquiring imaging sensor data from an electronic data storage source, and involve capturing dynamic sensor data, such as vibration or ultrasonic data using a dynamic sensor such as an accelerometer or ultrasound system. Methods also provide for analyzing imaging and dynamic sensor data using such techniques as thermography and fast fourier transformation. Apparatuses include a portable instrument with sensor interfaces for collecting imaging sensor data and dynamic sensor data. A sensor suite is provided that includes vibration sensor, sonic sensors, ultrasonic sensors, oil sensors, flux sensors and current sensors. A base station is included to collect and analyze data from one or more portable instruments.

  • Patent number: 5060643
    Abstract: Upon inhalation of air from the interior of a housing, a flexible diaphragm-type valve exposed to the ambient air surrounding the housing is moved inwardly due to the difference in ambient air pressure to that in the housing to expose the interior of the housing to the ambient air which is then drawn into the housing. Upon movement of the valve, it strikes a lever connected to a toggle linkage arrangement, causing the lever to pivot to break the toggle linkage, enabling a coil spring to extend and move a dispensing nozzle into contact with the valve stem of a medicant-containing, aerosol valve actuated, bottle. The valve stem is urged upwardly by the nozzle and moved into the interior of the bottle dispensing a dose of the medicant to be mixed with the inhaled air, which is inhaled by the user.

Upon movement of the valve, it strikes a lever connected to a toggle linkage arrangement, causing the lever to pivot to break the toggle linkage, enabling a coil spring to extend and move downwardly a medicant-containing bottle relative to the valve stem of an aerosol valve. The valve stem is urged upwardly relative to a nozzle and moved into the interior of the bottle dispensing a metered dose of the medicant to be mixed with the inhaled air, which is inhaled by the user until the valve automatically closes by extension of the valve stem relative to the nozzle.
