Patent number: 7912911Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for dynamically modifying at least one connection parameter between a client and a server connected via a network and thereby increasing throughput rate between the server and the client are provided. The method comprises determining a first parameter value based on one or more characteristics of the network and a connection between the client and the server. The method further comprises determining whether a second parameter value encoded in a connection parameter field of the first packet received from the client is optimum based on a comparison with the first parameter value and overwriting the second parameter value with the first parameter value, if the second parameter value is not optimum.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Richard Way, David Pullen

Patent number: 7111745Abstract: A boom for a load handling machine, the boom has a mounting by which the boom is mounted on a body of the machine, and at least first and second telescoped sections. In use, the boom carries a load handling implement at or towards its outermost end. The first boom section is telescoped within the second section and is extendible and retractable relative to the second boom section by an actuator. At least the first boom section includes walls made at least predominantly of a composite material. A bearing member is located where adjacent walls meet to extend along a substantial length of the first boom section to provide bearing surfaces during sliding of the first boom section relative to the second boom section. Bearings also may be provided on the interior of the second boom section to further protect the first boom section.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2003Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: J. C. Bamford Excavators LimitedInventors: Andrew David Nurse, Richard Way, David Panni, Paul Sherratt

Patent number: 7034193Abstract: A method for purifying a spent acid catalyst from an acid catalyzed chemical reaction that generates a mixture of a product, spent add and tar, includes the steps of separating the mixture of product, spent acid, and tar into a product fraction and a spent acid fraction, said spent acid fraction comprising a mixture of spent acid and tar, and separating the spent acid fraction, by flotation separation, centrifugation, or liquid-liquid coalescence, into a tar fraction and a de-tarred spent acid fraction. The fluidized tar and the de-tarred spent acid can each be further processed to produce concentrated acid.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2004Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Rhodia Inc.Inventors: Richard Wai-Chun Liu, Philip Dean Hill, Thomas Edwin Pruitt, Forrest Lee Sanders, Albert Yi Yang

Publication number: 20050058872Abstract: A connection assembly for connecting first and second components so as to promote electrical isolation therebetween comprising first and second members adapted to be connected to the first and second components and a dielectric member situated between the first and second members. A fastening assembly is provided to fasten the first and second members and the dielectric member together as a unit. The fastening assembly includes dielectric elements and a dielectric coating is applied to preselected surface areas of the first and second members. The first component of the connection assembly may be at a different electrical potential than the second component.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Scott Blanchet, Dana Kelley, Mohammad Farooque, Richard Way

Patent number: 6818799Abstract: There is a process for removing by-product tar during the manufacture of isopropyl alcohol. The process comprises the following: a) reacting propylene with concentrated sulfuric acid and water to form isopropyl alcohol and a spent acid having a by-product tar; b) capturing at least a portion of the isopropyl alcohol; c) contacting the spent acid with a gas in bubble form; d) allowing a least a portion of the tar to separate from the remainder of the spent acid to form a layer of tar and a layer of cleaned acid solution; e) capturing the tar; and h) recycling the cleaned acid solution to step a) as a source of sulfuric acid. There is also a process for removing by-product tar during the manufacture of methyl ethyl ketone. The process is substantially the same except that 1-butene is substituted for propylene. There is also a process for removing tar from a spent acid.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2003Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Rhodia, Inc.Inventors: Richard Wai-Chun Liu, Philip Dean Hill, Thomas Edwin Pruitt, Forrest Lee Sanders, Albert Yi Yang
