Publication number: 20180327608Abstract: The present disclosure describes a strategy to create self-healing, slippery self-lubricating polymers. Lubricating liquids with affinities to polymers can be utilized to get absorbed within the polymer and form a lubricant layer (of the lubricating liquid) on the polymer. The lubricant layer can repel a wide range of materials, including simple and complex fluids (water, hydrocarbons, crude oil and bodily fluids), restore liquid-repellency after physical damage, and resist ice, microorganisms and insects adhesion. Some exemplary applications where self-lubricating polymers will be useful include energy-efficient, friction-reduction fluid handling and transportation, medical devices, anti-icing, optical sensing, and as self-cleaning, and anti-fouling materials operating in extreme environments.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2018Publication date: November 15, 2018Inventors: Joanna AIZENBERG, Michael AIZENBERG, Jiaxi CUI, Stuart DUNN, Benjamin HATTON, Caitlin HOWELL, Philseok KIM, Tak Sing WONG, Xi YAO

Patent number: RE42078Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preventing IP address cheating in dynamic address allocation. Firstly, check the source MAC address and the source IP address involved in an ARP packet sent from a subscriber terminal, i.e., detect whether there is a matching item in the legal subscriber address table; if so, process it normally, otherwise discard the ARP packet. In this way, an illegal subscriber cannot access to network through IP address cheating, but a legal subscriber can operate normally and continuously. For a subscriber terminal with a static IP address, a static item table is set in the legal subscriber address by manual configuration. When a new subscriber terminal asks for being allocated an IP address, check whether the IP address to be allocated has been set as a static item; if so, inform the subscriber terminal of applying for another IP address.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xi Yao, Yihong Xiu, Ning Pan
