Title: Apparatus for localized coating of cascade impactor particle collection surfaces
Inventor: WITHAM CLYDE L
IPC: C23C24/00
Filed: 2010-03-17
Abstract: The invention relates to apparatuses and methods for applying a coating material to the collection surfaces of the stages after an impactor is assembled for use. The apparatuses and methods comprise generation of a multimodal droplet aerosol of liquid coating material and delivering it into the impactor. The coating substance improves the trapping of particles on the stages. The apparatuses and methods limit the total amount of coating material applied and confine it to the regions of particle impact opposite the stage orifices, thereby reducing the possibility of chemical interference when analyzing a test aerosol.

Title: Apparatus, system, and method for establishing point to point connections in fcoe
Inventor: HATHORN ROGER
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2010-07-22
Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for establishing a point-to-point connection using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). The point-to-point connection is established as part of the FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP). A first computing device sends a FIP discovery solicitation to a predefined address such as ALL-FCF-MACs. The first computing device also listens to the local ALL-FCF-MACs address and determines whether or not there are any switches in the fabric connecting the first computing device and the second computing device. If there are no switches, the first computing device sends a second FIP discovery solicitation with a point-to-point indicator. If the first computing device receives a similar FIP discovery solicitation from the second computing device, it sends a FIP discovery advertisement with the point-to-point indicator. The first computing device and second computing device then perform fabric login and establish a point to point connection.

Title: Feedback processing of coins exclusively within two numerical limits
Inventor: KARTASIS GRIGORIS
IPC: G06Q20/34
Filed: 2012-07-24
Abstract: A feedback processing of coins within their two numerical limits enables transactions to be carried out without the use of coins. Cash payments are made during a transaction using a whole amount and a card account tracks the balance of coin value differences against an initial value, for example Â£5.00, deposited in the account. That is minimum Â£0.01 and maximum Â£4.99, as determined and which limits are to be enclosed by two stops: 0 (zero) and Â£5.00.The above mentioned limits will concern only the level of coins in each and every exchange value in a shop, during the purchase or return of a product by the consumer. This processing will be performed by means of the card during every transaction in the shop. The maximum limit of Â£4.99 will be covered by a new deposit of Â£5.00, whenever required. Thus, whenever the amount surpasses that of Â£5.00, it returns within the two limits determined by the contracting parties. All the above mentioned operations are made at the counter of the shop.
