  • Patent number: 11655052
    Abstract: A system for regenerating fastener holes in a replacement tip section of a rotor blade includes a first fixture, a second fixture, and a third fixture positionable adjacent a tip section of the rotor blade. The first fixture is used to verify a position of an opening formed in the spar. The second fixture includes a removable bushing having a drillable opening. The drillable opening is aligned with the at least one opening formed in the spar and defines at least one hole to be formed in the replacement tip section. The third fixture includes a countersink opening. The countersink opening is aligned with the at least one hole to be formed in the replacement tip section and the at least one opening formed in the spar to define a countersink feature to be formed in the at least one hole.

  • Patent number: 9001682
    Abstract: Methods for steering the access technology selection by a mobile device in an overlay Small-Cell and Macro Network, such as UMTS, LTE, CDMA, or WIFI are disclosed. This selection determination is based on the observed, real-time correlated and estimated network congestion, content-awareness, application/service expectations, and other criteria. Methods and procedures to influence network selection or control currently selected networks by propagating real-time correlated and consolidated information on a plurality of Radio Access Technologies to Access Points, or modifying the list of alternative Radio Access Technologies available at a location using standards defined mechanisms and parameters are identified.

  • Patent number: 8799480
    Abstract: The current invention is applicable to a RAN-cache or proxy operating in a wireless mobile network that is functioning as a transparent inline device intercepting wireless mobile protocols such as UMTS, LTE, WIMAX, CDMA etc.), or a traffic off-load device connected to multiple interfaces towards the Core/Internet. The current invention identifies methods for pre-fetching content by emulating portions of a mobile client for gaining connectivity through the mobile-core network, or to use session contexts of other mobile clients in a way not to significantly effect charging and billing for the preloaded content. The pre-load decision of what to pre-load and when to pre-load may be locally derived within the RAN-cache/Proxy device, or in-coordination with a locally connected CDN (Content Delivery Network) device.

  • Publication number: 20120184258
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method for recognizing the mobile device type by information monitored from multiple means, such as by transparently monitoring Control Plane protocols, and monitoring user plane protocols (for example user agent header in HTTP protocols), and using such information for controlling data-caching operations, selectively delivering content, and selecting alternative interfaces/networks when available. Additionally, the invention discloses methods to propagate the learned information through header enrichment to external devices, such as content servers or CDN devices. The apparatus and methods are applicable to an application/content-aware caching device in a wireless mobile network that operates as an inline transparent device intercepting control plane and user plane protocols.
