  • Publication number: 20230313986
    Abstract: A method for delivering a High-Pressure gas mixture to a High-Temperature torch nozzle. The method includes several steps. A first steps is providing a plurality of gases to a gas mixing chamber. Then there is mixing turbulently the plurality of gases in the gas mixing chamber to form a High-Pressure gas mixture. Next is directing the High-Pressure gas mixture into a flexible gooseneck hose, and then flowing the High-Pressure gas mixture through the flexible gooseneck hose. A further step is delivering the High-Pressure gas mixture to the High-Temperature torch nozzle. And then, there is dispensing the High-Pressure gas mixture out of the High-Temperature torch nozzle at a temperature of between about 3000 degrees Fahrenheit to 6500 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Patent number: 10439901
    Abstract: Systems are provided for using a message spinning engine to create and/or manage messaging queues in a distributed network using virtualized servers. An abstraction layer formed by virtualized servers may enable the message spinning engine to seamlessly transition messaging queues while minimizing the likelihood of exceeding the parameters of existing service level agreements. The message spinning engine may include a service mapping module to maintain mappings between source business applications and virtualized servers, a product bridge to implement message encapsulation for communication between different messaging queue products, and a messaging queue monitoring console to analyze performance and capacity of physical services and messaging services and accordingly adjust levels of service for source business applications.

  • Patent number: 9825763
    Abstract: Systems for the automated capture of forensic data information are presented. An example system may receive an access/modification request directed to a data item(s), generate an initial data capture record for the data item(s), and send the record to an isolated, secure data preservation module before granting the request. After the access/modification, the system may generate a post-access data capture record and send it to the preservation module. The system may determine the content of the generated records, based on, e.g., content of the data item(s), before generation. For example, the system may determine a first content type for records where data item(s) include critical data, and a second content type for records that do not, to, e.g., efficiently allocate system resources while minimizing any disruption to an accessing user. The system may also utilize different encryption and decryption key techniques based on, e.g., the content of the data item(s).

  • Patent number: 9825961
    Abstract: A user interface is used to assign different devices and device types to media services where the number of different devices and device types that are capable of being assigned is determined by access privilege information corresponding to such media services. When a number of devices of a specific type are assigned where such a number exceeds a limit specified in the access privilege information, the assignment of additional devices of that specific type is halted.

  • Publication number: 20110269687
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved coating for surfaces of medical implants. The coating comprises at least one interfacial biomaterial (IFBM) which is comprised of at least one binding module that binds to the surface of an implant or implant-related material (“implant module”) and at least one binding module that selectively binds to a target analyte or that is designed to have a desired effect (“analyte module”). The modules are connected by a linker. In some embodiments, the IFBM coating acts to promote the recognition and attachment of target analytes to surface of the device. The IFBM coating improves the performance of implanted medical devices, for example, by promoting osteointegration of the implant.
