1 Claim.
This invention relates to sugar manufacture, and more particularly to improvements in apparatus for generating sulphur dioxide gas and introducing the same into juice or syrup containing sugar and to an improved method of generating such gas and introducing it into sugar containing juice or syrup for producing a white, granulated sugar upon evaporation of the juice or syrup,
It is among the objects of the invention toprovide improvide apparatus for adding sulphur dioxide gas to sugar-containing juice or intermediate syrup which apparatus is effective to generate sulphur dioxide gas substantially at the rate at which the gas is used and to introduce such gas at a constant and uniform rate into a moving stream of sugar-containing liquid to accomplish an intimate mixture of the gas with the liquid and substantially complete solution of the gas in the liquid, is effective to adjust the quantity of gas supplied to the liquid to produce the desired acidity, may be incorporated into commercial sugar refining apparatus without requiring any substantial modification of such apparatus, is of simple, durable, and economical construction, is so constructed as to have little or no tendency to leak sulphur dioxide gas into the surrounding space, requires a much smaller space than commercial sulfitation apparatus now in use, and is substantially automatic in operation.
A further object resides in the provision of an improved sulfitation method for sugar containing liquid by which the sulphur dioxide gas is generated by energy derived almost entirely from the flow of a stream of sugar containing liquid in direct proportion to the rate of flow of such liquid, is introduced into the liquid at less than atmospheric pressure while the liquid is in motion, and is quickly compressed to or above atmospheric pressure to facilitate solution of the gas by the liquid, and wherein steam or compressed air is introduced into the liquid in extremely small amount only, if at all, to inject small supplementary quantities of sulphur dioxide gas to make minor adjustments of the acidity produced by the gas introduced by the flow of the liquid itself so that the liquid is not over-heated and none of its sugar content is hydrolized during the sulfitation process.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figurel is a diagrammatic elevational view of sugar sulfitation apparatus illustrative of the invention;
Figure 2 is a transverse cross-section of a sulphur combustion chamber constituting. an operative component of the device and taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a transverse cross-section of the sulfitation tank or reservoir constituting an operative component of the device and is takensubstantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 1; and
Figure 4 is a transverse cross-section on an enlarged scale of a gas distributing device disposed in the bottom of the sulfitation tank and is taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.
The sulfitation tank, generally indicated at H], may conveniently comprise an upright, cylindrical tank having a conical bottom I! supported upon a suitable base or stand t2. A sight gauge 13 is operatively connected to the tank and extends along one side thereof to indicate the depth of liquid in the tank.
Sugar-containing fluid, such as cane juice or intermediate syrup, is supplied to the tank through a conduit [4 having a right-angle bend L; from which the conduit extends into the top of the tank. An injector, generally indicated at I6, is disposed in the conduit between the bend l5 and the top of the tank and includes a nozzle ll centered in a casing [8 provided at one side with a feed inlet I9, a combining tube 20 and a delivery tube 2| connected with the tank inlet conduit section 22.
An outlet conduit section 23 extends downwardly from the apex of the conical bottom I I and is provided with a side connection to which one end of the outlet conduit 24 is connected. The outlet conduit 2 1 extends upwardly along one side of the tank and is provided at its upper end with an elbowfitting 25 in which is mounted a thermometer 2E and with a T fitting 21 from the lower side of which an outlet conduit section 28 extends to a supply tank, not illustrated. A gas release conduit 29 extends from the top of the tank In to the top of the T fitting 21 and is provided with a manually-operated Valve 30 so that any gas or air accumulating in the top of the sulfitation tank can be discharged through the tank outlet conduit.
The thermometer 26 is used to accurately control the temperature of the liquid in the sulfitation tank to prevent inversion of the sugar content by excessive temperatures, and a testing station is provided at some convenient location between the sulfitation'tank and the supply tank, or at the supply tank, for testing the acidity or pH quotient of the sugar-containing fluid in the sulfitation tank so that the sulfitation of the sugar-bearing fluid can be accurately controlled. A drain pipe 3| extends downwardly from the bottom of the outlet conduit section 23 and is provided with a manually-operated valve 32 so that the sulfitation tank can be drained, when necessary or desired.
A water-jacketed sulphur combustion chamber, generally indicated at 33, is provided adjacent the tank It! and may have a construction as particularly illustrated in Figure 2.
As illustrated, the combustion chamber 32 comprises an outer, open-top tank 33 of substantially U-shaped cross-section supported upon suitable legs 34 which are connected at their upper ends to the tank 33 and are connected intermediate their length by suitable cross-braces 35 which cross-braces support a shallow tray 36 which carries areserve supply of sulphur for the combustion chamber. A cylindrical chamber 31 is supported in the tank 33 centered relative thereto, to provide a water jacket space of substantially uniform thickness between the chamber 3'! and the tank 33.
The cylindrical chamber 37 contains a tray or grate 38 having a substantially flat bottom upon which the sulphur is burned. As illustrated in Figure 1, this tray extends for only a part of the length of the chamber 31, substantially one-half thereof, as illustrated, and a transverse baffle 39 is disposed in the chamber at the rear or innerend of the sulphur-burning tray, this baffle being somewhat smaller than the cross-sectional area of the chamber in order to provide a marginal space 40 through which the aseous products of combustion of sulphur in the tray 38 pass to the rearward portion 41 of the chamber.
A tubular air intake 42 extends through the top of the chamber 3'! and is substantially centered with respect to the tray 38. The upper end of this air intake is open to the atmosphere so that air for the combustion of sulphur is fed to the interior of chamber 31 substantially at atmospheric pressure. The end of the chamber opening to the tray compartment 43 is. provided with a door 44 which may be opened so that the supply of sulphur on the tray 38 can be replenished from the reserve supply of sulphur carried by the tray 36.
An outlet conduit 45 extends upwardly through the upper-side of chamber 3'! from the space 4| at the rear of the tray compartment and is connected at its upper-end to a water-cooled tubular condenser 43 which may be of conventional construction and which may comprise a jacket 4'! provided at its ends with tube-sheets 48 which receive the ends of spaced parallel tubes 49 through which the products of combustion of the combustion chamber 33 flow from the outlet conduit 45 to a filter, generally indicated at 50, at the top of the condenser 46.
Cooling water is supplied to the condenser 46 through a water pipe having a manually-operated valve 52 therein and overflow water from the condenser is led through a pipe 53 into the outer tank 33 of the water-jacketed combustion chamber and from this tank the over-flow water is'discharged through a water outlet pipe 54.
The filter 50 may conveniently have a jacket 55 which forms an upward continuation of the condenser jacket 41 and within which is provided afilter screen 56 and such other filtering material as may be found necessary or desirable. The filter jacket is provided with a top closure 51 from which a conduit 58 extends to the feed inlet IQ of the injector l6, and which includes a manuallyoperated valve 60 by means of which the rate of flow of combustion gases from the chamber 33 may be controlled.
With the above-described arrangement, when sugar-containing fluid is pumped through the conduit I4 into the sulfitation tank Ill passage of this fluid through the injector II; will induce a flow of sulphur dioxide gas from the sulphur combustion chamber 33 through the condenser 46 and filter 50. The gas will be drawn from the combustion chamber through the condenser and filter at substantially atmospheric pressure by reason of the sub-atmospheric pressure induced in the restricted passage of the injector 16 so that the gas will be added to the liquid at a pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure. As the combined liquid and gas pass through the restricted passage of the injector and flow through the delivery tube 2! the pressure will be raised to atmospheric pressure or above and a large portion of the sulphur dioxide gas will be dissolved in the liquid flowing through the sulfitation tank. Thus, the sulphur dioxide gas is added to the sugar-bearing liquid automatically, substantially at atmospheric pressure, and at a rate such as to give substantially the correct acidity or pH value to the sugar-bearing liquid after sulfitation thereof.
While the above-described apparatus may normally be relied upon to provide the proper sulfitation of the Su ar-bearing liquid, provision is made in the apparatus for making minor corrections by adding supplementary quantities of sulphur dioxide gas in the event the tests indicate that the acidity of the liquid is not exactly at the correct. value. The means for adding supplementary quantities of sulphur dioxide gas includes a distributor, generally indicated at 6|, mounted in the bottom of the tank If a conduit 62 extending into the tank to the distributor, an injector, generally indicated at E3 in the conduit 62 outside f the tank, a steam supply conduit 64 for the injector and a conduit 55 leading from the filter 50 to the feed inlet 650i the injector 63-.
The distributor 6! may comprise a multipleoutlet, hollow hub 61 secured to the inner-end of conduit 62' by an elbow fitting 53 and a plurality of perforated tubes fifi'extending outwardly from th hub 6 and s ce a ar at ub i l equal angular intervals. In the arrangement particularly illustrated, in Figure 3 there are four perforated tubes 69 spaced 90 apart and having perforations) in one side only of each tube, the perforations being in corresponding sides of the various tubes so that a whirling motion will be imparted to the liquid in tank It] by the discharge of gas and steam from the perforations "Til. The injector G3 is similar in construction to the injector IE, but is smaller in size. The steam conduit 64 leads into the injector nozzle H and is provided with a manually-operated valve .72 by means of which the supply of steam can be controlled, and a pressure gauge 13 is interposed between the valve l2 and the injector E33 so that the operator of the apparatus can instantly determine the pressure of the steam entering the injector 63. The gas conduit is also provided with a manually-.operated valve 14 by means of which the rate of flow of gas to the conduit 65 can be controlled.
With the above-described adjusting apparatus, if it is found that the main injector it does not supply an adequate quantity of sulphur dioxide gas to the sugar-containing liquid, a sup" plemental quantity of such gas may be added through the injector 63 and distributor 5E, The amount of gas so added, however, is preferably maintained at a minimum to accomplish the desired result with the consequence that only a small amount of steam or compressed air is added to the liquid in the sulfitation tank and the liquid is thus not over-heated and the sugar content is not unduly oxidized. Having made the proper adjustment of the various valves t0, i2, and 74, it is possible to make an entire run without further adjustment with the possible exception of adjusting the valve 52 to maintain j the steam pressure indicated by the gauge '33 at a substantially constant value. It'is thus possible with this simplified sulfitation apparatus for a single operator to control the entire sulfitation process, since the operator will normally be required to observe only the thermometer 2t and the steam pressure gauge 73. Because of the atmospheric pressure operation of the combustion chamber 33 the sulphur in the combustion tray 38 may be replenished at any time and it is not necessary to shut down any part of the apparatus in order to replenish the supply of Suiphur for combustion. The sulphur dioxide gas is supplied to the injectors in a cool, clean, and
dry condition and only a very small amount of excess air is supplied along with the sulphur dioxide gas. The excess air, 'undissolved sulphur dioxide gas and atmospheric nitrogen are immediately discharged from the sulfitation tank through the gas outlet conduit 20 and thus does not accumulate in the tank, so that the tank can be maintained substantially full of sugar-bearing liquid at all times, greatly facilitating dissolving the sulphur dioxide gas into the liquid at a uniform rate and providing a substantially uniform solution of gas and liquid. I
In addition to being highly simplified, the improved sulfitation apparatus is of light weight and occupies a small amount of space so that, if desired, it can be conveniently mounted upon the top of a conventional supply tank and does not require a separate room in the sugar refining plant.
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms Without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiment is, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claim rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claim are, therefore, intended to be embraced therein.
What is claimed is:
Sugar sulfitation apparatus comprising a sulfitation tank, a liquid inlet conduit leading into and a liquid outlet conduit leading out of said tank, an injector in said liquid inlet conduit, a gas generator having an inlet and an outlet, a conduit conecting said generator outlet with said injector, a gas distributor in said tank, a pressure fluid conduit connecting said distributor with a source of fluid under pressure, an injector in said pressure fluid conduit, a conduit connecting said gas generator outlet with said last-mentioned injector, and a control valve in said last-mentioned conduit.

Nanotechnology is not science fiction and New Zealand farmers need to be gearing up to take advantages of the opportunities it will offer, agricultural economists say.
"A willingness to explore new technologies will improve the financial viability of our primary and downstream industries," the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) said yesterday.
The increasing ability to understand and control microscopic matter down to one nanometre one-billionth of a metre is set to trigger new market opportunities, and the quick identification of new processes and products will be crucial, MAF economists said yesterday in their annual outlook, known as SONZAF.
As a size comparison, a human hair is about 80.000 nanometres wide, and the double helix in a piece of DNA is just 2.5 nanometres wide. At one to 100 nanometres, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of many materials differ in fundamental and valuable ways.
Nanotechnology was already being used to enhance health and safety, with new applications, in medicine and energy being developed.
"Nanotechnology could provide the basis for a wide range of innovative practices and products to help agriculture and forestry become more efficient and sustainable," the economists said.
But using nanotechnology could also be controversial and the new technologies will require new ways to control possible negative consequences and uncertainties about environmental and human health risks.
"Society's views must be clearly understood and taken into account before new technologies are used in agriculture and forestry." Possible uses included:
MAF said emerging technologies often created challenges, such as the control and distribution of benefits and uncertainty about environmental and human health risks, and could have "ethical implications".
Nanotechnology is already being used in some wound dressings, pillows, mobile phones, and air-sanitising sprays which contain silver nanoparticles for their antibacterial activity.
Some golf clubs and skis contain carbon nanotubes and nanocrystals of silicon oxide to increase strength and flexibility.
And nanoparticles are being added to rocket propellants to improve the way they burn, and to motor oils to reduce engine wear.

moreWhy didn't the matter in our Universe annihilate with antimatter immediately after its creation? The study of CP violation may help to answer this fundamental question. This book presents theoretical tools necessary to understand this phenomenon. Reflecting the explosion of new results over the last decade, this second edition has been substantially expanded. It introduces charge conjugation, parity and time reversal, before describing the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) theory for CP violation and our understanding of CP violation in kaon decays. It reveals how the discovery of B mesons has provided a new laboratory to study CP violation with KM theory predicting large asymmetries, and discusses how these predictions have been confirmed since the first edition of this book. Later chapters describe the search for a new theory of nature's fundamental dynamics. This book is suitable for researchers in high energy, atomic and nuclear physics and the history and philosophy of science. less

Enjoyed our second trip back to Punta Cana.Posted Sep 6, 2013
Pros: The location and the expansive and beautiful property make this a perfect choice for a vacation.
Cons: The facilities, plumbing, AC and landscaping needs to be upgraded.
This is our second time back to the Punta Cana Hotel and Resort. It is in a very beautiful and convenient location. The VIP service from the airport was a bonus and eased our transport from the plane to our hotel. The beaches are lovely and very relaxing. Even though the hotel is in need of a major upgrade, I am disappointed to hear that the hotel may be closing and just hope the owners decide to recreate it in the same style which fits so well with the property environs. If so, I will definitely return again.

Beautiful beach and ecological surroundingsPosted Aug 20, 2013 on Hotels.com
Its the third time I stay here, I love the beach that is why I always stay there; but the ammenities, cleanliness, attention of the restaurants specially are terrible. There isnt any place decent to eat at the beach. This las time my room had the AC broke so we freezed all night, we didnt have any warm water, the water was freezing, the place was dirty.. anyway..we love the beach surrounding the hotel, thats why we come back

Not the Dominican RepublicPosted Aug 6, 2013
Pros: The staff was professional, courteous and helpful.
Cons: I doubt it, without dynamiting the property's and allowing the mangroves to retake the golf course.
Location: You can dive and snorkel and rent sea kayaks, or you can pay stadium prices for hotel fare.
There is nothing outwardly wrong about the Punta Cana Hotel. It's just not really a Dominican Republic experience. From the standard Midwestern buffet breakfast to the trucked-in sand beach, you could be at any mid-priced resort on Earth.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Steve Sinclair says bad experiences led him to avoid CFS
Inquiry-related threat investigated
Steve Sinclair got a chance for the first time today to tell his side of the story dealing with child welfare at the inquiry into the death of his daughter, Phoenix.
Well-spoken, composed and articulate, he remembers little contact with the social workers involved in his life after Phoenix was born.
The 32-year-old Sinclair, who chose the name Phoenix, said he tried to avoid contact with Child and Family Services whenever possible. Sinclair was a foster child himself from the time he was 11, the inquiry heard. His bad experiences with child welfare drove him to keep Phoenix with him and CFS at bay, he said.
When Phoenix's mother -- his former partner -- Samantha Kematch came to take the three-year-old from Sinclair in late 2003, he didn't try to stop her or alert CFS even though he told a social worker earlier he was concerned Kematch wasn't a fit parent.
"I gave her her clothes and all her stuff," he told commission counsel Sherri Walsh.
"You were OK with that?" Walsh asked.
"Yes, of course, it was her mother."
'Why not have her mother parent her?'
Sinclair said when he heard that Kematch was partying and not caring for Phoenix, he went to get her back in early January 2004. Phoenix stayed at the home of Kim Edwards and Rohan Stephenson, friends of Sinclair's and a place CFS had once approved as a place of safety for Phoenix.
In April 2004, Kematch took Phoenix from that home for a visit and never returned her.
Sinclair said he called CFS trying to discover their whereabouts, but didn't report any concern about her safety and well-being.
"I ran it over in my mind," Sinclair said. "She was with her mother -- why not have her mother parent her? Isn't that what mothers do?"
Kematch and her partner Karl McKay murdered Phoenix in 2005.
They were convicted of first-degree murder in December 2008.
Both have refused to participate in the public inquiry as they serve life sentences with no chance of parole for at least 25 years.
Threat investigated
Meanwhile, Winnipeg police are investigating a potential threat related to the Phoenix Sinclair inquiry.
This afternoon, the inquiry commission said they have been advised of a potential threat, but will be carrying on with the hearing schedule.
The commission did not provide further information regarding the threat.
Manitoba Justice, who is providing security at the public hearing, has also been made aware of the threat
Updated on Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 4:15 PM CST: Adds information on threat investigation.

Cattle were treated with topical formulations of endectocides to assess the larvicidal activity of faecal residues against horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.), house fly, Musca domestica L., and stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae). In laboratory bioassays, doramectin, eprinomectin and ivermectin suppressed horn fly in dung of cattle treated at least 4 weeks previously and suppressed house fly and stable fly in dung of cattle treated 1–5 weeks previously. Moxidectin suppressed horn fly in dung from cattle treated no more than one week previously and did not suppress house fly and stable fly. Results combined for the three species across two experiments suggested that, ranked in descending order of larvicidal activity, doramectin > ivermectin ≈ eprinomectin » moxidectin.

Cup Scouting Report: Blues
Opponents provide breakdown on how to battle, beat St. Louis
Craig Custance chats with rival scouts and players to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the St. Louis Blues.
Last year, it was the Kings. The team that opposing scouts and coaches wanted no part of in the first round, regardless of what their seed was.
The consensus is not quite as strong, but the St. Louis Blues are getting that same kind of buzz from within the hockey community.
"Aside from maybe Chicago, they're the least desirable opponent," said one NHL scout in breaking down the West. "The way they've been playing the last two weeks, three weeks. Their goaltending seems like it's solved."
That was the major question mark and Brian Elliott has solved it with an incredible April, in which he went 10-2-0 with a 1.30 goals against average and .947 save percentage down the stretch to help the Blues secure home ice advantage in round one.
That doesn't leave too many holes.
"You look at their team now, I'd put them up against anybody in the league and feel good about their chances," said a Western Conference defenseman.
KEY STRENGTH: The addition of Jay Bouwmeester and Jordan Leopold at the deadline gives the Blues the same depth on the back end that they have up front. Those were huge moves for GM Doug Armstrong.

Link2File, A method to allow computers connected to the Internet to find each other, identify specific files, video and/or audio channels within them and automatically initiate actions (such as peer-to-peer file transfers or video feeds), even when their Internet Protocol (IP) address is reassigned at random by a third-party.
1. A computer-implemented method for locating and sharing information between computers in a computer network where the IP address of a central server is fixed, but the IP address of two or more connecting computers is subject to change, comprising steps of;
having a first computer within said computer network send a notification via e-mail to a second computer within said computer network, using known e-mail addresses, said e-mail containing the L2F data packet for the file within said first computer;
having a second computer within said computer network receive said e-mail with the L2F data packet, read from the MIME header within said e-mail the IP address for said first computer, and using a combination of said first computer IP address and the L2F data packet information, establish a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection between said first and second computer; and;
beginning a P2P data exchange process of one or more files identified in the L2F data packet between said first and said second.
2. The method of
the data exchange leads to the establishment of an audio channel between the computers.
3. The method of
the data exchange leads to the establishment of an audio/video/data link between the computers.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to peer-to-peer (P2P) computer communication, and specifically to a method by which computers can find and identify each other in the Internet, even when their Internet Protocol (IP) address is reassigned at random by a third-party.
2. Description of the Related Art
Computers connected to the Internet using broadband connections usually do this via three primary types of gateways; a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a Local Area Network (LAN) [be it wired or wireless]. The function of the Internet gateway is to become the residence of a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. This IP address is represented as a four group numerical address (in the format W.X.Y.Z where each letter represents a binary value between 0 and 255), that uniquely identifies each gateway to every other computer in the Internet.
Most users of broadband Internet have contracts that specify that their IP address may be dynamically altered by their Internet Service Provider (ISP). That is, their ISP (be it the phone or cable company, or another supplier) reserves the right to arbitrarily re-assign the IP Address for their gateway. This means that the device's unique address (and hence how it is known to other computers out in the Internet) is subject to change at the whim of the ISP. By changing the IP address, automated peer-to-peer (P2P) connections between machines becomes very difficult (since the connecting machines identities are suddenly in doubt). Gray et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,094,676 teaches how to implement a P2P link.
The ISPs do this because they want assurance that users making their computers into web servers pay more than users who simply web-browse, two applications that require very different amounts of bandwidth. In the early days of the Internet, when most users dialed in at very slow speeds, there were no risks of any of them using these dial-up connections to make their computers into web-servers. However, as the connections increased in speeds, the temptation was there to convert home computers into web-servers. In fact, when early cable modems used static IP addresses, with the consequence that many early adopters took advantage of these to make their home computers into web-servers. To limit this perceived mis-use of their service, broadband ISP contracts specify that IP addresses in the cable modem may not be converted to static IP's, and most recently have begun forcing changes on internet gateway IP addresses during lulls in use.
Because ISP's change the IP address, it becomes difficult for Internet users to have a file reside in their computer (or connect a web-camera) and automatically transfer this information to others (the typical function of a web-server). Borella et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,269,099 teaches a method to do this in a P2P environment, but this has limited viability. Given these limitations, user's typically share files by attaching them to e-mails. However, in order to limit the use of their bandwidth, most e-mail providers limit the size of attachments to files no larger than 10 or 20 Mbytes. With the wide availability of digital media in which to store home movies, many users are hard pressed to find ways in which to electronically share home movie files that are typically in the 10 MB per minute range.
Today, the primary alternative left to users wanting to share large files is the use of large capacity/large transfer web-site. Unfortunately, services such as these are geared towards commercial users (with round-the-clock availability and expected large transfers), hence they are expensive and complicated. Finally, they are by definition cumbersome. Using a web-server to transfer a large file requires the file to be transferred and stored from the originator's computer to the web-server (essentially a computer that has a static IP address), where it resides until requested by someone for download. If the originator decides to make any changes to the file, he/she must first re-download it (assuming a local copy was not kept), then re-upload it.
What is required, is a method that would allow someone to identify a file within their computer (or a web-camera link) and communicate to someone else via a brief message the location of this device, then make it available so that it may be located by others in a secure fashion.
This section is for the purpose of summarizing some aspects of the present invention and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made to avoid obscuring the purpose of the section. Such simplifications or omissions are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The Link2File (L2F) system addresses the shortcoming above by allowing the originators of large files or data transactions the ability to use their own broadband link (and computer) to store and serve this data to interested third parties, via a peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer that allows for the IP address to be randomly changed by a third party. The L2F system would use a centralized server as a location where users can constantly correlate their IP address to their identity, but use their own resources in a P2P environment to communicate the actual data. Thus if the ISP changes the IP address, the L2F system will take note of that and allow for that identity/IP address link to remain up-to-date.
What makes the system possible, is the establishment of L2F as an identity to IP address mapping service. With L2F, a user having a laptop (whose IP address changes as the user moves from mobile hotspot to mobile hotspot) may be able to serve large data transactions (be they files or live video/audio feeds) to others from any location and/or IP address, and yet have people interface to his/her laptop if it never left the original IP location.
By allowing the user to post a link to a file (via e-mail or web-site) in his/her own computer, rather than sending the complete file, the L2F service offers Internet users an alternative method to either getting a static IP address or a web-server. Again, it should be noted that this file may be the output of a microphone, or video camera. L2F will allow users to advertise the existence of a file or device they want to share with others within their computer, without having to place this file on a web-server. In effect, they will now have the ability to identify specific files (as a part of a string in an e-mail, through a separate utility, or even to publish such a link within a web-page), without having to actually transfer the file with that e-mail, only the pointer to the file. This will allow a user to use a relatively modest amount of space (that attaches to an e-mail or resides in a public or private web-page) as a handle to their home computer. By deciphering the information on this modest link, a program within their computer will be able to use the L2F system to connect in a P2P format with the computer specified in the link, and transfer large files between them. In effect, the functionality of a large storage web-site will be replicated in a home or small business computer, independently of whether, and whenever their ISP changes their IP address.
The present invention was conceived, and one of its objectives is, to provide a system by which computers can be uniquely identified and located in spite of the fact their IP address is changed in order to P2P link them,
It is another objective of the present invention to provide the capability to �serve� files to others without compromising security or information about the file's location,
It is another objective of the present invention to provide the capability to �serve� files to others using the broadband connection as a limit, instead of having to rent expensive 24/7 storage space on a server farm,
It is another objective of the present invention to provide the capability to have the user's computer identified uniquely, allowing user's to find each other, and make phone calls to each other.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide the capability to identify peripheral devices within a computer (such as web cameras or microphones), allowing users to check these devices on a vacation home, or interact with their pets on their home while working or traveling.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide the capability to optionally encrypt the information transferred between server and client.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon examining the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the attached drawings.
A computer location within the Internet is determined by its Internet Protocol (IP) address. This IP address is represented as a four group numerical address (in the format W.X.Y.Z where each letter represents a binary value between 0 and 255), that uniquely identifies each gateway to every other computer in the Internet. Typically, this Gateway is a Cable or DSL modem 1. Note that while it uses the same format, this IP address must not be confused with the more common network address (NA) residing in a network (wired or wireless) router 2. The NA uses the same format (A.B.C.D, where each letter represents a 0-255 binary value) to uniquely identify a computer within a network group (e.g. Local Area Network or LAN) to other computers in that network. In the most common Windows OS, the NA can be forced to be permanent (during setup), or allowed to float within a range.
Usually, it is the function of the network router to translate the NA to IP addresses. Similar to the way the zip code represents an area, and the street address within a zip code is unique from the same Street address in a different zip code. While the NA may be controlled by the user (as is the case of a home network where the user is usually also the network administrator), the IP Address, is controlled not by the user, but by the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Most users of broadband Internet have contracts with their ISP that allows for the re-assignment of IP addresses at the discretion of the ISP. This means that the device's unique address (and hence how it is known to other computers out in the Internet) is subject to change by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). By changing the IP address, (i.e. the unique address by which a user's computer was known), automated P2P connections between machines become impossible (since the connecting machines identities are suddenly in doubt).
As seen on
The Link2File (L2F) system handles the change of IP address by maintaining a central server 5, where the IP address of all computers running the L2F broadband server software are constantly updated. This maintains the resolution between L2F User ID and L2F broadband server IP address (i.e. the most recent one). This central server is a traditional Internet fixed name and fixed IP address fixture. That is, maintained in the traditional way, in which the name www.link2file.com is registered with ICANN and resolvable by all computers on the Internet. This allows the originator of a large file 3 to identify it within their computer hard drive 4, and then serve it to other computers in the Internet via an automated P2P transfer. The L2F broadband server is thus a location for the L2F software within the user's computer 4 to �check-in� regularly (in the preferred embodiment this may be done as frequently as boot-up or every five minutes), thus maintaining a mapping of L2F User ID to IP address table up to date.
In the preferred embodiment, the system is split into two separate functions, that of the L2F broadband server (server), and the L2F client (client). As their names imply, the server is the program that processes making a file available to others, whereas the client is involved with the requesting of files from other computers. While a single computer may run both processes, it is not required that both be available. In fact, we expect the client to outnumber the server by a factor.
To better understand the process, let's begin by serving a file. Please note that while the term file is used frequently, the output of a video camera or microphone might also be considered for purposes of this discussion as a file, one whose size continues to grow as the data is captured. A user activates the L2F broadband server software, which first generates a L2F data packet 9. This data packet contains a mapping of the file name and location. As seen in
The person or person(s) receiving the e-mail (or link, or clicking on the web-site) must each have the L2F client running in their computer. The client processes the information in the .l2f packet, and proceeds to act on it. When they receive a link, their computer 6, first checks with the L2F central server 5 (www.link2file.com to see what the IP address is for the stated L2F ID (contained 11) within the L2F message 9. With the server's 4 IP address, the client 6 can then communicate directly, and request the file identified by the message header 10. The server proceeds to identify the actual file represented by this numerical combination, and serves the file directly to the client via a P2P transaction.
Note that if the server is busy, off-line, or otherwise indisposed, the client will simply continue to try to establish a connection during a pre-determined interval, or be ultimately turned off by the user. Hence neither the server, nor the client need be manned when the file is transferred. In addition, when the connection is established, the data transfer can be performed as a low priority task, with minimal effect on other transactions through this gateway. While the same computer may run both applications (acting both as a server and client), the server application will be to be constantly aware of the local computer's IP address, and communicate this to the central L2F broadband server. This will ensure that if the ISP changes IP addresses, the L2F system is always able to identify the location of the computer. In addition, the transfer may occur via an encrypted link, whose initiation and synchronization can be started by the L2F authentication procedure.
Before initiating a transfer, the server may act as a �traffic cop�. If the server configuration commands it to limit the number of transfers, or to in any other fashion deny file transfer (e.g. the file may have been erased since it was �offered� for transfer), the server may deny the transaction.
Besides transferring files, the ability to find and uniquely identify a computer's changing IP address provides for other advantages to the user. They may decide to use their computer as a telephone, hence allowing for a call to a particular L2F ID to become a call to a particular computer user (regardless of where the computer is located).
Similarly, separate software applications may be used to connect remotely to a video/audio feed. In this way, the user could remotely log onto his vacation's home computer and check the video from surveillance cameras, even being able to interface via audio with a pet or intruder.
Link2File provides for a system that makes possible the unattended automated location and identification of computers whose IP address is randomly re-assigned by a third party. In addition, it would allow for the automated transfer of files in a peer-to-peer fashion, without either party having to be present, as well as for the initiation of video and/or audio feeds between these computers. These transfers may also be done in an encrypted fashion.

Presidency: President Obama's second inaugural address made a great show of defending Social Security and Medicare from any change. It may turn out to be the defining mistake of his presidency.
'We reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future," he said.
But pretending these programs don't need to change to survive is a choice. And it's a choice that virtually ensures the young people Obama professes to want to "invest in" will have little to show for it when they retire.
Neither Social Security nor Medicare can pay for their benefits today with the payroll taxes they collect.
Both programs face a huge rise in the number of retirees they'll support in coming years, to the point where their so-called trust funds, which consist of little more than IOUs, will be exhausted in about a decade in the case of Medicare, sooner in the case of Social Security.
These are facts, whether the president chooses to ignore them or not.
Doing nothing about them means giving the young people Obama spoke about a very raw deal.
For example, a single man earning average pay who retires in 2030 will have paid about $398,000 in Social Security taxes over his career. But he'll earn a negative return on his money, qualifying for $336,000 in benefits, according to the Urban Institute's Eugene Steuerle.
Further, young people paying for today's retirees are twice as likely to be poor. And, over the past 25 years, young people's net worth has fallen 68%, while that of those age 65 and over has risen 42%, according to the Pew Research Center.
In short, the programs liberals claim can't be touched force those who are relatively poor to pay benefits for those who are relatively rich.
If that sounds familiar, it is. The same thing is happening in Europe. Even their far-heavier taxes, which include huge levies on gas, income and sales, can't support their retirement programs. It's made even worse by their onerous labor laws, which crush the job prospects of the young. No wonder the EU is bankrupt.
The results of the 2012 election may have given liberals the notion that nothing needs to be done about these programs. But facts are stubborn things.
In this case, failing to face them is choosing between young and old — and not in favor of the young.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Proud to see a coal miner's daughter
NASHVILLE -- The tickets for a family Spring Break trip to Tennessee and -- of course -- to the Grand Ole Opry already had been purchased long before we knew about the small-town dreamer whose epiphany we would, by wonderful chance, be in the balcony to cheer.
It was about a month ago that we happened upon a YouTube video of a girl named Kayla Slone.
She was a 21-year-old Walmart clerk from Matewan, W. Va., on the Tug Fork River, where the Hatfields and McCoys once feuded to the death and where seams of coal and streams of want still flow together down through the decades and the clans. The store where she worked was in a county seat called Logan, long famous in its own right as a den of flagrant vote-buying worthy of its own grand opera, or at least an episode of Hee Haw.
At the Logan Walmart, we learned, Kayla Slone had taken to singing loudly while she laboured, favouring the hardscrabble anthems made famous by Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn, daughters of Appalachian poverty who, through country music's unique alchemy, had turned the carbon of their native ground to diamonds.
As a New Yorker who was raised -- improbably, to much ridicule -- on southern and western music, I already knew that authenticity lies at the core of every great country song, whether it be spawned by a Tammy Wynette picking cotton in Mississippi, or a Hank Snow cutting out cod tongues as a cabin boy on a Nova Scotia schooner, or a Dolly Parton growing up as one of 12 children in a one-room cabin on Tobacco Road. Even Eddy Arnold -- the so-called Tennessee Plowboy, my father's favourite -- had ridden a mule to town. (Times have changed: Taylor Swift's father is a financial analyst and her granddad was president of a bank.)
Now here was Kayla Slone, not only a modern coal miner's daughter and granddaughter, but even -- at her tender age -- already a coal miner's wife. By mid-March, that cellphone video from the Logan Walmart had been picked up by ABC News as a fillip of human interest from a usually invisible corner of the republic, and this, in turn, had not gone unnoticed in Music City, U.S.A.
Suddenly, Kayla Slone was invited to sing at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday night, March 23, which was to be the 4,551st live broadcast from the cathedral of the hillbilly canon.
A man named John Carlin, the doyen of Lyrick (sic) Promotions in the river town of Williamson, W.Va., was serving as Kayla Slone's manager even before the annunciation came from Nashville. A few days before Kayla's debut, I called him between shifts of his own real-world job -- he is a locomotive engineer on the Norfolk Southern Railway -- and he told me his own career as a bluesy studio musician had peaked short of the Opry stage.
"Why do you think you never got there?" I asked him.
"I would imagine I wasn't good enough," John Carlin said.
Carlin told me that in addition to her impromptu oratorios at Walmart, Kayla Slone had made a few stage appearances around Williamson and Matewan. He said she had "a very unique voice to her," and along the Tug Fork at least, "she stood out from the crowd." (She wouldn't be paid for her guest appearance at the Opry, and her manager would get 10 per cent of zero.)
"How are things down in Williamson?" I wondered.
"Poverty is king," John Carlin replied.
On Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry, Kayla Slone was preceded to stage-centre by a succession of ancients: Jim Ed Brown, whose records I bought as a fourth-grader; Jean Sheperd, still yodelling at the age of 79; Jeannie Seely, 72, who urged us all to greet the ingénue from Walmart warmly, as if we did not already feel the power of the moment in our hearts.
In perfect rendition, failing not a word or a note, the girl from Walmart sang Loretta's Coal Miner's Daughter and Dolly's Coat of Many Colours, blew a kiss and walked off stage. Touched as in a fantasy, we rose and roared, and I saw people crying.

Allyson Felix talks return from injury, anti-doping, Rio Olympics (video)
Oct 9, 2013, 12:08 PM EDT
Four-time Olympic champion Allyson Felix said she will return to training from a torn right hamstring in about a month.
Felix, who suffered the injury during the 200m final at the World Championships on Aug. 16 (video here), spoke about her future and anti-doping in track and field with The Grio.
"Looking forward to new things, this new journey," Felix said. "I would just love to win more gold medals, to walk away with a successful Games. … I'm open to doing different events."
Felix mentioned the 4×100, 4×400, the 200 and "another event." Before the World Championships, Felix said she would like to give the 400m another shot. She won silver in the one-lap race at the 2011 World Championships but has never contested it at the Olympics.
Felix was also asked about recent doping issues in her sport, including that of her decade-long rival, Veronica Campbell-Brown. Campbell-Brown, the most decorated Jamaican Olympic champion of all time, tested positive for a banned diuretic May 4, hasn't competed since June and was given a warning but no suspension by a Jamaican panel last week.
"That's the line that I just refuse to cross," Felix said of navigating the world of performance-enhancing drugs. "For me, it's not even a question. I don't go the supplement route."

Irish Air Corps26 Nov, 13
On the 26th November 2013 the Air Corps celebrate the 50th anniversary of helicopter aviation in the Irish Air Corps.
The pioneering pilots of the Air Corps introduced rotary aviation to Ireland when they flew two Alouette III helicopters from France to Ireland, landing in Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel, on the 26th November 1963.
The arrival of these helicopters, callsigns 'A195' and 'A196', signaled the establishment of 'Helicopter Flight' and committed the Air Corps to the development of a national daytime Search and Rescue(SAR) for the State. This new tasking saw the Air Corps complete its first Search and Rescue mission on the 23rd of December 1963, only three weeks after the service had gone operational, with the first air ambulance flown in February 1964.
Since these first life-saving missions the Helicopter Wing, now called No. 3 Operations Wing, have performed over 2,300 SAR missions and 4,000 air ambulances, saving countless lives. This has lead to No 3 Operations Wing being the most decorated Unit in the Defence Forces, with 22 Distinguished Service Medals, 12 Department of Marine Meritorious Medals, as well as two coveted French Federation Aeronautique Internationales's'Diplome D'Honneur' for humanitarian service and the Irish Air line Pilots Association 'Fitzmaurice' award for services to Irish aviation.
Over the last five decades the helicopter wing has continued to represent the dedication, professionalism, loyalty and courage of the pioneering pilots of the 1960s. In 1986 the introduction of the Dauphin II helicopter began a new era for SAR operations in Ireland allowing the Air Corps to introduce a 24 hour SAR service to the State.
In 1997 the Unit commenced operations with the dedicated Garda Air Support Unit at Casement Aerodrome and to this day exclusively provide pilots, technicians and an operating base for An Garda Síochána.
In December 2008 the Air Corps pioneered the introduction of Night Vision aided flight to the State. They now use Night Vision Goggles to assist on its national and international air ambulance transfer service which it operates 24/7. It is the only service in the State that has this leading edge capability.
In 2009 the introduction of the under-slung 'bambi-bucket' system enabled the Air Corps to assist in tackling large fires from the air. This capability was proven in May 2011 when the AW 139s dropped millions of litres of water on fires in Donegal and Mayo.
In June 2012 the air ambulance operation has expanded to include the new inter-agency Emergency Aeromedical Service pilot scheme based in Custume Barracks, Athlone. In the 18 months since the introduction of this pilot scheme the Air Corps has answered over 800 callouts on behalf of the citizens of Ireland.
Young and old members of the Air Corps celebrated this momentous anniversary on Friday 21st November with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque in Baldonnel. The plaque was presented to No 3 Operations Wing by the Irish Mine Rescue Committee and represents the diversity of the Air Corps interaction with outside agencies and the strong working relationship formed with these bodies. The event was attended by serving and retired members of the Helicopter Wing, and included some of the crews that brought the original aircraft to Ireland in 1963.
Over the past 50 years the Air Corps has been an invaluable support to the wider Defence Forces and has made a significant contribution to the security of the State and the common good of Irish society.
The men and women of No 3 Operations Wing are a testament to the Air Corps' motto Forḟaire agus Tairiseaċt ("Watchful and Loyal").
