  • Publication number: 20200070978
    Abstract: The leak-proof chemical distribution system is a spray system for mounting on a vehicle, such as a truck or aircraft, for the distribution of chemicals. The system is separated into a storage section and a distribution section. The storage section is located within the vehicle, and thus must be leakproof. The distribution section is located outside the vehicle, thus any connections or components that may leak will not leak on the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200070194
    Abstract: The nozzle system is ideally suited for use within a high-pressure chemical spray system. The preferred nozzles are impingement nozzles, where the chemical discharge leaves an orifice, and then collides with a distributor. The distributor breaks the stream of chemical into droplets, which then mix with the surrounding air. Stock nozzles are altered by: removing a paper filter from each of the one or more nozzles; removing a metal mesh screen from the one or more nozzles; installing a polypropylene filter with a pore size lesser than the orifice size; and installing the one or more nozzles into the nozzle array.

  • Patent number: 9648091
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for modifying an entity sensory representation. An entity sensory representation representing an entity is received. The entity sensory representation comprises a plurality of sensory representations that represent a plurality of items that are part of the entity. Each of the plurality of items is associated with a set of values for a set of measurable factors of interest. A set of scale factors is calculated for each of the plurality of sensory representations based on the set of values associated with the each of the plurality of items. The plurality of sensory representations is modified using the set of scale factors to form a plurality of modified sensory representations that establish a relative relationship between the plurality of items represented by the plurality of modified sensory representations with respect to the set of measurable factors of interest.

  • Patent number: 9553906
    Abstract: A method includes: while streaming video frames on a network toward a client device, detecting a loss of connectivity between the network and the client device; responsive to detecting the loss of the connectivity between the network and the client device, ceasing the streaming of the video frames toward the client device; subsequent to detecting the loss of connectivity, determining that the connectivity between the network and the client device has been re-established; responsive to determining that the connectivity between the network and the client device has been re-established, resuming the streaming of the video frames on the network toward the client device by transmitting an Instantaneous Decoder Refresh (IDR) frame on the network toward the client device without sending one or more frames corresponding to images chronologically prior to an image corresponding to the IDR frame.

  • Patent number: 9374376
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing unauthorized access of an information stream. The information stream is received at a node along a path to a destination node. The information stream comprises information bits and quantum bits that are interspersed with each other. A portion of the quantum bits are examined at the node along the path. An occurrence of unauthorized access to the information stream is indicated when an original entangled state of the portion of the quantum bits is absent.

  • Patent number: 9306977
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and network architectures are disclosed for creating and implementing secure wireless, wired, and/or optical networks using specially modified “stealth” packets, cells, frames, and/or other “stealth” information structures. This enables stealth packets, network elements, and networks to have a low probability of detection, interception, and interpretation. The “stealth” packets, switches, networks, and methods provide invisibility or “cloaking” by modifying previously existing standards rules for packet structures, protocols, timing, synchronization, and other elements. Stealth packets, network elements, and networks may be further enhanced with encryption techniques by encrypting various parts of, or the entire packet structure itself, for example, headers, preambles, payload, and/or other packet elements.

  • Patent number: 9015302
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a network. Signals are received from a plurality of time sources. A signal having a desired level of accuracy is selected from the signals. A reference time in the network is established using the signal. Data to be transmitted through the network is encrypted to form encrypted data. The encrypted data includes a number of encrypted headers and an encrypted body. A next node in the network is identified based on a destination for the encrypted data. A request is generated to reserve a number of time intervals for transmitting the encrypted data to the next node through the network. The encrypted data is transmitted in the network during the number of time intervals responsive to receiving an approval for the request from the next node.
