20090035633 | Chemically sintered composite electrodes and manufacturing processes - An iterative process of depositing on a solid electrolyte a coating of unconnected particles composed of an ionically conductive material. A liquid solution is also applied. The liquid solution includes an inorganic component. The deposited liquid is heated to a temperature sufficient to evaporate or otherwise remove some or all of the volatile components of the liquid solution. Typically the temperature is below 1000° and often at about 850° C. The effect of heating the solution is to cause ion conducting material in the solution to adhere to the surface of the existing ion conducting particles and form connections between these particles. This is understood to create an ion conducting skeletal support structure. Within the intrestices of this skeletal support structure, the step of heating is also understood to result in the deposition of the inorganic component that will begin to form a electron conducting structure. The process of applying the liquid solution and heating may be repeated until a sufficiently thick layer of material is laid over the solid electrolyte to provide the composite electrode structure desired. | 02-05-2009 |

20100125864 | MOBILE REMOTE CONTROL OF A SHARED MEDIA RESOURCE - Systems and methods for controlling a shared media resource are disclosed. One embodiment includes an edge device adapted to control the media resource based on content selection votes received from users in the shared space who transmit their votes to the edge device over a wide area communication network. In a particular example, a user can submit a vote via a mobile communication method such as text messaging. In another example, votes can be submitted by interacting with a web page or an email program. In another aspect, the edge device tallies the votes and, based on a configuration setting that defines a voting policy, the edge device controls a content selection of the media resource. In another example, the edge device can also receive input from one more local remote control devices that communicate directly with the edge device such as, for example, a standard infrared remote control unit. Depending on a configuration setting, communications from such units may be treated as votes or may override votes received to control the device directly. In another aspect a server coupled to the wide area network is adapted to receive and authenticate vote messages from users in the shared space and provide corresponding vote commands to the edge device. In a particular aspect, authenticating the vote messages includes use of a code that is displayed on the edge device such that a user in the shared space must include the code with the vote message in order for the user's vote to be accounted for in determining a content selection of the shared resource. In a more particular aspect, the code is periodically changed via code updating commands sent from the server to the edge device. In another aspect, an administrative user can interact with the server over the wide area network to set up the edge device and to set or change configuration settings of the edge device. In some alternatives, votes can be tallied and content selection determined on the server rather than the edge device and then the server can send content selection commands for to the edge device for controlling the shared media resource. | 05-20-2010 |

20120158867 | CLOUD MESSAGE TRANSFER APPARATUS TO REDUCE NON-DELIVERY REPORTS - Duplicate deliveries of email messages are prevented when a transient failure prevents delivery to some of a plurality of intended recipients but delivery to an other one or more of the intended recipients is successful. After receiving a list of recipients, an email body, and an “end of data” sequence, but prior to responding to the “end of data” sequence, an email server determines a transient failure reply code when any one of the address mailboxes of intended recipients is not available. A message-memorandum, such as the globally unique message-id and the address of one or more successful recipients is stored into a memorandum store. A subsequent transmission of the corresponding message will only be delivered to recipients who have not previously received it. Using this invention, the receiving/relay system would persistently track which recipients were allowed or refused by some unique characteristic of the message, such as internet message ID or a checksum of the distinct portions of the message/envelope that are unlikely to change (e.g. sender, recipients, body). Once a message has been identified as one that has been previously partially deferred, the recipients that were previously allowed would be ignored and delivery would be attempted only to the recipients that had not previously been allowed. | 06-21-2012 |

20130031269 | Handling Perceived Packet Loops With Transparent Network Services - Techniques are provided to detect and correct for packet loops associated with network traffic that passes through a wide-area application services (WAAS) device in a data center network environment. The WAAS device receives a packet from a device in a first data center. The WAAS device determines the directionality of the packet relative to a destination device of the packet. The WAAS device also determines whether the packet has an indicator that associates the packet with the WAAS device. Based on whether the packet has an indicator that associates the packet with the wide area application services device, the WAAS device inserts an indicator within the packet when the directionality of the packet indicates that the packet is to be transmitted across a wide area network (WAN), wherein the indicator comprises information that associates the packet with the WAAS device. The WAAS device forwards the packet to a network based on its directionality. | 01-31-2013 |
