摘要:
The invention concerns placing an exploratory telephone call to a party, using a first telephone channel, in order to inquire whether the party wishes to hold a video conference. If the party does, the caller then actuates the invention, which establishes an initial video conference on a second data channel, without disrupting the existing telephone call. Then, after the video conference has been established, the exploratory telephone call is terminated, and the first channel is used to carry the video conference data, along with the second channel.

Porous membrane contactors and/or their methods of manufacture and/or use are provided. In at least selected embodiments, the present invention is directed to flat panel hollow fiber or flat sheet membrane contactors and/or their methods of manufacture and/or use. In at least certain particular embodiments, the present invention is directed to hollow fiber array flat panel contactors, contactor systems, and/or their methods of manufacture and/or use. In at least particular possibly preferred embodiments, the contactor is adapted for placement in an air duct (such as an HVAC ductwork) and has a rectangular frame or housing enclosing at least one wound hollow fiber array or membrane bundle.
摘要:
A shell-less fluid contactor and a process for transferring a fluid component between a shell-side fluid and a lumen-side fluid. The shell-side fluid is introduced through a fluid distribution tube and discharged from the tube into contact with a surrounding bundle of microporous hollow fiber membranes. A fluid component is transferred by diffusion, through the walls of the hollow fiber membranes, from the shell-side fluid to the lumen-side fluid. Multiple contactors can be combined into an assembly for multi-stage processing of fluids.

摘要:
A method for high speed data transfer between a user operated PC and a remote PC. First, a link is established between the user operated PC and remote PC. A data file is transferred from the user operated PC to an interfacing device connected to the user operated PC. The file is then formatted in the interfacing device, and transmitted therefrom to the remote PC over an ISDN line. A second data file may be transferred from the remote PC to the user operated PC contemporaneously with the transferring, formatting and transmitting of the other data file.
摘要:
A method of transferring data from a computer to a remote entity. A predetermined block count is stored in the computer. One or more data blocks are moved from the computer to one or more buffers, respectively, in an interfacing device. The block count is decremented for each of the data blocks so moved. One or more of the data blocks are then transmitted from the interfacing device to the remote entity. An acknowledge signal is received from the remote entity for each data block received by the remote entity, and the block count is incremented for each acknowledge signal so received.
