  • Pore Analysis
    Publication number: 20150204770
    Abstract: A method of producing a product having a predetermined porosity comprises the following steps: conducting a porosity test upon a test sample; producing a 3 dimensional model of voids interconnected by throats; deriving an intrusion curve for the model; comparing the derived, intrusion curve for the model with an intrusion curve showing the output of the porosity test; iteratively modifying the model until the derived intrusion curve for the model matches that for the output of the porosity test; making adjustments to at least one parameter of the model to adjust the porosity characteristics of the model to the predetermined porosity characteristics; and modifying the test sample in accordance with the adjustments.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INJECTING CONTENT
    Publication number: 20150206186
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for injecting content into a webpage at or local to a network access gateway. For example, in an embodiment, a network access gateway is provided for accessing the internet. A user logs onto the internet through the network access gateway and request a webpage. The gateway requests the webpage from the webpage provider. Before the gateway delivers the webpage to the user, the gateway, or a content injection engine local to the gateway, injects content, such as, for example, advertisements or other useful information, into the webpage and then sends the altered webpage to the user.

    Patent number: 9040540
    Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to certain pyridyl-amino-pyrazine carbonitrile compounds that, inter alia, inhibit Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHK1) kinase function. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit CHK1 kinase function, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by CHK1, that are ameliorated by the inhibition of CHK1 kinase function, etc., including proliferative conditions such as cancer, etc., optionally in combination with another agent, for example, (a) a DNA topoisomerase I or II inhibitor; (b) a DNA damaging agent; (c) an antimetabolite or thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor; (d) a microtubule targeted agent; and (e) ionizing radiation.

  • Cutting Tool with Quick-Release Actuated Blade Guide
    Publication number: 20150089816
    Abstract: A cutting tool with first and second pivoted shearing blades has a guide member mounted to the first blade for transverse movement relative to the first blade and toward and away from the second blade. The guide member has a transverse restraining surface that confronts a transverse guided surface of the second blade during cutting of a workpiece to resist axial separation of the cutting edges away from the cutting plane. A yieldable, resettable mechanism enables release of an uncut cable captured by the guide member in the event the planned cut is in error or must be postponed. Examples include a ball detent, a magnet, an over-center extension spring arrangement and a torsion spring.

  • Constructing a contact sharing history
    Patent number: 8990300
    Abstract: Technology for constructing a contact sharing history is disclosed. One method comprises receiving, at a computing device of a second user, a communication contact information element of a first user. The contact information is linked to a personal identification key associated with the first user. A link to a personal identification key associated with the second user is added to the communication contact information element to form the contact sharing history. The contact sharing history can then be used to identify how the second user obtained the first user's communication contact information element.

  • Call waiting network identification
    Patent number: 8903072
    Abstract: A multi-mode device for providing call waiting network identification. The device can establish a first call through a first network. While communicating through the first network, a second call can be received from a second network. The first network can be independent of the second network and operate separately on the multi-mode device. The multi-mode device can inject an alert specific to the second network into the call through the first network signaling the call through the second network. By providing the alert, the user of the multi-mode device can determine if the call waiting tone is for business or personal giving the user the chance to ignore the call and continue talking without having to take the handset away from their face, activate the screen and view the caller identification information to decide whether or not to take the call.

  • System for distributing video conference resources among connected parties and methods thereof
    Patent number: 8866873
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for distributing video conference resources among connected parties and methods thereof. In an illustrative embodiment, an ad-hoc network providing conferencing resources is presented. The network can include a master device and a number of slave devices. Each of the slave devices can present their bandwidth capabilities to the master device. End devices can be connected to the master device. When no additional connections can be made to the master device, slave devices can be used to add the end devices into the conference. The slave device can thus share its resources to the conference. In one embodiment, individual slave devices can handle different types of codecs.
