A device for determining network parameters may include one or more antennae and a processor. For example, the device may include multiple antennae so that direction information for one or more wireless network sources may be determined. Network parameters may include security information for the network, network name information, and/or other information. The processor included in the device may not be configured to transmit and receive information on an information communication connection with the wireless network source(s); for example, the device may be a stand-alone device separate from a user device (such as a personal computer) configured to transmit and receive information on an information communication connection with the wireless network source(s). In other embodiments, the device may be at least partially integrated with a user device (e. g. , may have a separate processor but be included in a user device housing).

A centrifugal compressor is modified by forming a bypass between the leading edge of the compressor diffuser and a point downstream from the throat of the diffuser. The bypass may be unidirectional or bi-directional. In a bi-directional embodiment, an operable flow range of the compressor can be widened in both directions of a compressor map, i. e. , extending both the surge and choke margins of a compressor at the expense of normal operating efficiencies. In a unidirectional bypass embodiment the flow range may be increased only in one direction, but there is no diminishment of efficiency of the compressor at normal operating conditions. The modification provides a simple expedient for increasing flow range without a need to redesign a compressor.

A VoIP adapter module for a VoIP phone system switches the phone connection from a broadband connection to a wired connection when a power outage or a broadband disconnection is detected. The switch is accomplished by establishing a connection from a telephone connected to an RJ11 port on the module to a wired channel connected to a backup RJ11 port on the module. Detection for power outage is by comparing the device voltage with a reference voltage, and detection for broadband connection is by sending out a PING packet and waiting to see if a return packet is received.

A centrifugal compressor may comprise a wheel and a pipe diffuser. The pipe diffuser may comprise an annular pipe diffuser section and at least one cylindrical hole passing through the annular pipe diffuser section for compressing gas emerging from the wheel. The at least one cylindrical hole may have an axis that is slanted at an angle A relative to a plane that is orthogonal to an axis of rotation of the compressor.

An air-cooled generator may be provided with a centrifugal blower configured for rotation on a shaft of the generator. The centrifugal blower may have an axially oriented outlet. An impeller of the blower may have blades with trailing edges oriented at an angle between 80 to about 90 relative to an axis of the shaft of the generator.

The present invention provides a turbine wheel with locally curved trailing edge blade tips on the blades of the turbine wheel. The locally curved trailing edge may increase the blade vibration mode natural frequency which may in turn result in longer blade fatigue lifetimes. It may also eliminate vortex shedding. Methods for increasing the blade vibration mode natural frequencies using the turbine wheel of the present invention are also provided.
