Title: Capacity management system for passive optical networks
Inventor: KERPEZ KENNETH
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2006-01-26
Abstract: The invention is a tool that accurately predicts the performance of each different priority or service level on a PON with multiple different service types and multiple users. Delays and bit rates are computed accounting for all packet, protocol, propagation, and scheduling overhead. The performance and delays of all services are further verified by running a real¬ time simulation that identically mimics the operation of an actual PON, resulting in very close prediction of the performances of different services before the services are actually used or tested for use by the subscribers. The invention allows the service provider to sell the maximum number of services possible, while still ensuring that they can all function acceptably. The tool may be used to model and predict behavior of various PON.

Title: Method for producing and a system for cooling a hot-filled softgel capsule
Inventor: ZAZULA JOHN
IPC: A23G3/54
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A system for producing a hot-filled softgel capsule utilizes a chilled liquid. The chilled liquid is routed through a chilled liquid conveyor tray into a chilled liquid bath. The chilled liquid conveyor tray directs the flowing chilled liquid into a flowing chilled liquid layer. Softgel capsules having a heated fill material are deposited in the flowing chilled liquid layer. The chilled liquid layer cools the capsule by transferring heat from the capsule to the chilled liquid. The flowing chilled liquid layer transports the capsule out of the chilled liquid conveyor tray into a chilled liquid bath. A capsule transfer conveyor transports the capsule out of the chilled liquid bath to a chilled liquid removal device. The chilled liquid removal device removes the chilled liquid from the capsule.

Title: Arc/spark optical emission spectroscopy correlated with spark location
Inventor: GRODZINS LEE
IPC: G01N21/67
Filed: 2006-07-13
Abstract: Two or more high-frequency microphones are used to determine where an individual spark or other excitation beam strikes a sample in an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) instrument. The position of the spark can be correlated with the elemental composition of the material in the sample vaporized by the spark. The microphones are placed appropriately in air around a sparker of the instrument, or appropriately on the sample, or on both the sample and in the air. Arrival times of sound from the spark to the microphones, or a difference in the arrival times, yields information, from which the position of the spark relative to the microphones, and hence the absolute position of the spark, is deduced, such as by triangulation.  Optionally or in addition, a signal that indicates a time when the spark is produced is correlated with one or more spectra detected by a spectrometer, so a spectrum that results from the vaporized sample can be distinguished from a spectrum that results from heated gas above the sample.
