  • Patent number: 9008106
    Abstract: Wireless gateway nodes are enabled to support mobile node services, such as content based billing, when a data treatment server is present in the system. Using one of a defined Content Flow Label (CFL), an Application Program Interface (API), and a compression protocol header, content based billing is provided such as by exchanging content and byte count information with the data treatment server.

  • Patent number: 7496104
    Abstract: The methods of the present invention enable wireless gateway nodes to support mobile node services, such as content based billing, when a data treatment server is present in the system. Using one of a defined Content Flow Label (CFL), an Application Program Interface (API), and a compression protocol header, the present invention provides content based billing by exchanging content and byte count information with the data treatment server. In one embodiment, a new compression protocol header type is defined. In a second embodiment, a content flow label with a byte count field is inserted in a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) header. In an alternate embodiment, the wireless gateway node implements an API to transfer the content flow label and byte count information over a signaling link. In yet another embodiment, the data treatment server performs the content based billing and similar mobile node services.

  • Publication number: 20070178230
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lens-coating gas dispenser and to the corresponding coating device, lens and method. The inventive dispenser consists of a flat outlet plate comprising a plurality of outlet holes which are distributed using the following method consisting in: [a] defining an auxiliary surface; [b] positioning first points on a first flat surface, such that the points are distributed with a constant surface density, said first surface resting on the lower edge of the auxiliary surface; and [c] tracing projection lines from a projection origin, which pass through each of the first points and continue to meet the auxiliary surface, thereby defining projected points on the auxiliary surface, and, finally, tracing downwards from the projected points as far as the flat outlet plate, such as to define the position of the outlet holes.

  • Patent number: 5660584
    Abstract: The distribution assembly is arranged for mounting to a ceiling portion of an existing mobile home, that in turn includes an existing air conditioning outlet housing. The assembly employs a central plenum housing arranged to receive the air conditioning outlet housing while permitting securement by a flange of the central plenum housing to the ceiling in surrounding relationship relative to the outlet housing. A distribution duct in pneumatic communication with the central plenum housing extends therefrom in pneumatic communication therewith. The distribution duct and the central plenum housing each employ a plurality of windows having sliding doors to permit various air flow from within the central plenum housing and the duct for distribution throughout an interior compartment of an existing mobile home.
