20130118477 | FREEZE PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR SOLAR RECEIVER - A solar receiver has an arrangement of heat transfer surfaces and a heat transfer fluid phase separator, such as a vertical steam/water separator, fluidly interconnected thereto. The receiver includes a plurality of heat transfer fluid filled components, and at least one alternate heat source. When various temperature measurements indicate freezing or solidification of the fluid is possible, the alternate heat source is activated to maintain a temperature of the fluid greater than the freezing/solidification point of the fluid. The application of the alternate heat source further induces natural circulation of the fluid within the components, further providing freeze/solidification protection to the receiver. A controller may be configured to receive sensed temperatures of the fluid, components, ambient air, etc., and use these temperatures relative to a threshold temperature to activate, vary output, and deactivate one or more alternate heat sources. | 05-16-2013 |

20160090695 | CUTTING MACHINE - A guidance system provides step-wise, real-time or near real-time video guidance to a cutting machine operator to efficiently cut up a lift into multiple products, where determining an efficient sequence of steps is laborious for an ordinary operator. The display can advantageously show the operator where to temporarily store various “logs” that are cut off from the lift, and how and when to reinsert them into the cutting machine for further cuts, whether by themselves, in side-by-side manner, and/or in stacks. Camera feedback can be used to ensure that the operator is properly positioning and orienting the lift/logs. The display can alternatively or additionally use simulation to guide the operator. | 03-31-2016 |

20150030754 | Process for Preparing Animal Feed - A method for the manufacture of animal feed supplement, typically a low moisture block (a vitreous/glassy block of carbohydrate comprising additives therein). The method comprises processing a carbohydrate-containing liquid composition to induce cracking and evaporation and thereby form a concentrated liquid composition; and solidifying the concentrated liquid composition to form the animal feed supplement. The carbohydrate-containing liquid composition is processed by continuously feeding the carbohydrate-containing liquid composition into a first (input) end of a thin film processor, subjecting the carbohydrate-containing liquid composition to cracking and evaporation within the thin film processor and continuously removing the concentrated liquid composition from the second (output) end of the thin film processor. | 01-29-2015 |

20080205382 | Intelligent routing of VoIP traffic - A method of routing communications traffic includes receiving, at a switch or server of an originating service provider, incoming communications traffic including a terminating number or address. The switch or server is programmed to send a query to a transaction server for a carrier routing. The transaction server determines whether the terminating number or address matches a number in an ENUM database in communication with the transaction server. If a match is found, the carrier associated with the matched number is added to a routing matrix generated by an offline routing matrix generation process to form a supplemental routing matrix. The transaction server then generates using the supplemental routing matrix a list of available route options for delivering the communications traffic to the terminating number or address. | 08-28-2008 |
20100208634 | System and Method For Managing Multimedia Communications Across Convergent Networks - The present invention provides for bidirectional or duplex transmission of multimedia content such as live video and/or audio between access devices of a calling party and a called party in a convergent network. The quality of transmission is managed through a convergent communications platform, which periodically tests performance characteristics of network routes in operative communication with the platform, categorizes the network routes based on measured performance metrics, and selects network operators whose network characteristics meet the desired quality parameters of a particular multimedia content to be transmitted (e.g., real-time high definition video conference). The management of transmissions is transparent to the end users who will be able to communicate with others regardless of the type of devices or networks the called parties use or subscribe to. | 08-19-2010 |
