Title: Methods and apparatus for facilitating the delivery of e-mail using a packet data service or a short messaging service (sms)
Inventor: MAJOR HARRY RICHARD
IPC: H04W4/18
Filed: 2005-02-22
Granted: 2011-05-03
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating the delivery of e-mail messages from a mobile communication device are disclosed. In one disclosed example, an end user of the mobile device enters e-mail message information corresponding to a new e-mail message through a user interface. Preferably, the user interface is an e-mail graphical user interface (GUI) provided by the mobile device. The mobile device identifies whether a packet data service (e.g. GPRS) for communicating e-mail messages is available to it. If the packet data service is available, the mobile device causes the e-mail message information to be sent via the packet data service. If the packet data service is unavailable, however, the mobile device causes the e-mail message information to be sent in a short message service (SMS) message via an SMS-to-Email service. Advantageously, a common GUI interface which does not change depending on the availability of the packet data service is utilized and service-specific formatting for SMS-to-Email by the end user is not required.

Title: Process and apparatus for the treatment of co2-containing gas using carbonic anhydrase
Inventor: FRADETTE SYLVIE
IPC: B01D53/84
Filed: 2003-12-18
Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: A process using a spray absorber bioreactor for the biocatalytic treatment of gases is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of contacting a gas phase, containing a gas to be treated, to a liquid phase containing a reactant capable of chemically reacting with and/or absorbing the gas, thereby producing a spent liquid phase containing at least one reaction product and a treated gas phase substantially free of the gas, such step being performed in the presence of biocatalysts suitable for catalyzing the chemical reaction between the gas and the reactant. The process is characterized in that the gas phase is contacted to spray droplets of liquid phase containing biocatalysts.  The use of droplets of liquid containing the biocatalysts enables to increase the gas-liquid interface, thereby allowing a high mass transfer rate of the gas to be treated from the gas phase to the liquid phase. These conditions of high mass transfer enable to transform the gas with a maximum reaction rate.  This process can advantageously be used for cleaning or purifying a gas phase containing a harmful gas. For example, it can be used for extracting CO2 from a gas emission.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, an exhaust passage is provided with a NO X storing and decomposing catalyst (20). When burning fuel under a lean air-fuel ratio, the nitrogen monoxide is adsorbed by the NO X storing and decomposing catalyst (20) and disassociated. At this time, the disassociated oxygen is held in the form of oxygen ions O- on the NO X storing and decomposing catalyst (20). By making the air-fuel ratio rich and purging part of these oxygen ions O-, the remaining oxygen ions O- are also purged. Due to this, the NO X purification performance of the NO X storing and decomposing catalyst (20) is restored.

Title: Bypass routing to a mobile device
Inventor: LEWIS ALLAN DAVID
IPC: H04W40/34
Filed: 2005-12-16
Granted: 2009-09-22
Abstract: A bypass server is placed in an outgoing link between a mobile device server and a relay used to distribute data from the mobile device server to remote mobile devices to which the data is addressed. Where a direct connection is established between a suitably configured network node (such as a personal computer) and a given mobile device, the bypass server may form a local connection with the network node and divert along the local connection those packets that are addressed to the given mobile device. As such, a lower cost/higher bandwidth local communication path between the given mobile device and the mobile device server may be established, when compared to the conventional remote communication path. The local communication path may be especially useful for bulk data transfers.

Granted: 2012-10-30
Abstract: A system is set forth for the exothermic generation of soot depleted syngas comprising (i) reacting a hydrocarbon-containing fuel with an oxygen containing gas in a first reactor to produce the syngas and byproducts comprising CO2,H20 and soot; and (ii) introducing the syngas and byproducts into a second reactor containing a non-carbonaceous material that traps the soot for a sufficient time such that the majority of the byproduct soot is gasified via reaction with the byproduct CO2 and/or H20 to produce a syngas stream that is depleted in the soot. The system is particularly suitable for the practice of heat exchange reforming wherein a portion of the heat is recovered from the soot depleted syngas stream and used as at least a portion of the heat to facilitate the additional production of syngas via the (endothermic) catalytic reforming of natural gas and steam.
