A method and an apparatus for providing a configurable, object-oriented, protocol-neutral interface between a physical device and a server. The method includes coupling an application gateway with the physical device, where the application gateway includes a protocol gateway module configured for physical communication with the physical device, and an object adapter module configured for virtual communication between the physical device and a client application running on a server. The method further includes configuring a service starter to launch and bind the object adapter module with the protocol gateway module, configuring the protocol gateway module to define the physical interface between the physical device and the protocol gateway, and establishing communication between the protocol gateway module and the physical device, such that the physical device is exposed as a network device on the server.

Universal configurable device gateway

A method of making an insulation product to be used as a thermal resistor and fire retarder, and also to an apparatus for the accomplishment of this process. This method involves the pressurized spraying of expanded particles and an adhesive towards a target surface in a manner whereby the adhesive contacts the particles prior to their hitting a target surface. The apparatus involves a spraying device which directs the expanded particles and the adhesive into the intersecting paths necessary to facilitate adhesive-particle contact prior to their hitting the target surface, and serves to minimize loss of the aggregate due to bounce-back of the aggregate from the target surface.
