Patent number: 7650495Abstract: An exemplary implementation of a security gateway for online console-based gaming operates as a gateway between a public network (e.g., the Internet), and a private network (e.g., an internal data center network). The security gateway allows secure communication channels to be established with game consoles via the public network, and allows secure communication between game consoles on the public network and service devices on the private network.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2008Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dinarte R. Morais, Mark D. VanAntwerp, Boyd C. Multerer, Daniel Caiafa, Ling T. Chen, Michael Courage, Damon V. Danieli, Eric Neustadter, Sean Christian Wohlgemuth

Patent number: 7640300Abstract: In accordance with one aspect, a client device is sent an indication of one or more types of information available for the client device. In response to the indication, a request is received from the client device to retrieve the information available for the client device. The information is identified and sent to the client device. In accordance with another aspect, one or more friends of the user are identified from persistent data, and a check made as to whether each of them is logged in to the system. For each of them that is logged in to the system, the user is subscribed to the friend's information and the friend is subscribed to the user's information. In accordance with another aspect, a user is allowed to be a friend of another user only if the other user is also a friend of the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2002Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sean Christian Wohlgemuth, Mark D. VanAntwerp, Boyd C. Multerer, Brian R. Morin

Patent number: 6869586Abstract: A process for the preparation of nanostructured materials in high phase purities using cavitation is disclosed. The method comprises mixing a metal containing solution with a precipitating agent and passing the mixture into a cavitation chamber. The chamber consists of a first element to produce cavitation bubbles, and a second element that creates a pressure zone sufficient to collapse the bubbles. The process is useful for the preparation of mixed metal oxide catalysts and materials for piezoelectrics and superconductors.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignees: Five Star Technologies, Inc., Worcester Polytechnic InstituteInventors: William R.

Publication number: 20050030015Abstract: A system and method for gathering and analyzing data captured from one or more remote sensing units positioned in the field. Remote sensing units preferably utilize optical sensors. Power to sensing unit components is preferably selectively controlled to reduce power consumption. Remote sensing units according to the invention can be used for a variety of purposes, including water quality or electrical power monitoring, and data from such sensing units is preferably transmitted to a secure host terminal via a communications link. The host terminal preferably formats, analyzes, and stores the data for customer review and retrieval. If alarm conditions exist that require immediate customer notification, such notifications can be sent to a customer via one or more telecommunications means. Through the use of the present invention, businesses can shift from a reactive to a proactive mode of monitoring and operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: Airak, Inc.Inventors: Paul Duncan, Sean Christian
