20140052848 | LATENCY VIRTUALIZATION - A technique involves placing a data acceleration engine between an end user device and a host device. The host device provides data associated with a client application to the data acceleration engine, which provides the data to the end user device. If the data acceleration engine is on the host device, content from a datastore is served to the data acceleration engine as if the data acceleration engine were a client running the client application locally; therefore, latency normally associated with a network between the content datastore and the client device is eliminated. If the data acceleration engine is on the end user device and has received at least some data in advance of a relevant query, responses to the query also do not have latency associated with a network. The data acceleration engine can be implemented as a series of data acceleration engines between end user and host devices. | 02-20-2014 |

20140295346 | EMULSION AGGREGATION PROCESS - The method of manufacturing toners disclosed herein includes a continuous temperature ramp and coalescence process that involves continuously passing toner slurry, such as an aggregated toner slurry, through at least one heat exchanger before being subjected to a cooling step. The heat exchanger is pressurized, so the temperature of the slurry may be increased above the atmospheric boiling point of water without boiling the water component of the slurry. Because of these higher temperatures, the coalescence step can be completed more quickly than in conventional batch processes. More than two heat exchangers may be connected in the coalescence step, yielding multiple ramping/cooling temperature steps, ability to inject components, or recycling heat from the process to reduce energy consumption. | 10-02-2014 |
20150111151 | CONTINUOUS TONER COALESCENCE PROCESSES - Processes for continuously coalescing particles from an aggregated particle slurry are disclosed. An aggregated particle slurry is further heated in a first heat exchanger, and the heated slurry then flows through a residence time reactor. The slurry, now containing coalesced particles, then flows through a second heat exchanger and is quenched. The recovered coalesced particle slurry is then suitable for washing and drying. No moving parts are needed in this system. | 04-23-2015 |
