  • System for water management, and related methods
    Patent number: 11300324
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and managing water delivered to users hydraulically connected via a dedicated conduit loop to a water supply source and a water heating unit via a dedicated conduit loop, the system including a mixing valve(s) hydraulically connected to the dedicated conduit loop; a first set of sensing devices operatively coupled to an input and an output of the mixing valve, wherein each sensing device of the first set is adapted to generate and transmit sensed data signals; a recirculation pump hydraulically coupled to the dedicated conduit loop; a second set of sensing devices operatively coupled to selected portions of the dedicated conduit loop, wherein each sensing device of the second set is adapted to generate and transmit sensed data signals; a pressure regulating or balancing device(s) hydraulically coupled to the dedicated conduit loop; a data collection system for receiving and storing sensed data transmitted by the first set of sensing devices and/or the second set of sensing d

  • System and method of sorting materials using holographic laser steering
    Patent number: 7241988
    Abstract: The present invention employs a beam steering apparatus to isolate valuable cells from other cells, tissues, and contaminants. In one embodiment, the system balances optical trapping against biasing flow to parallelize cell sorting under the flexible control of computer program-directed traps which differentially manipulate cells based on their composition or labels to direct separation.

  • ISDN communication system and method thereof
    Patent number: 5761293
    Abstract: A network interface (105) uses valid identifiers including the DN, SPID and Switch ID to communicate with a PSTN (110) and uses generic identifiers to communicate with customer premise equipment (120) in order to establish an ISDN communication link when the customer premise equipment does not know the DN, SPID, and Switch ID.
