  • Patent number: 11792065
    Abstract: Methods and devices provide fault injection testing techniques in a production network environment without risking service outages for hosted computing services, by providing examples of a remote network controller configured to communicate with network devices of a network; a remote fault injection communication protocol configuring a remote network controller in communication with a network device to signal a failure injection; and a failure injection module configuring a network device to configure a network device processor to implement a failure injection signaled according to the remote failure injection communication protocol. The method includes a network controller transmitting a failure injection signal in a control plane packet over a network connection to a network device, and the network device creating a child process by executing, in a dedicated runtime environment, a copy of one or more processes impacted by a parsed failure type.

  • Publication number: 20230282432
    Abstract: A group-operated switching system for multi-phase electrical transmission lines including a number of inline axial switches for opening and closing circuits to control electrical flow through the transmission lines. The switches include axially mounted load break vacuum interrupters and are mechanically and electrically isolated from each other and from a control box. The control box communicates with the inline switches via RF communications. Power for the switch electronics and operations can be provided from line power, a battery, or a capacitive source.

  • Publication number: 20230104194
    Abstract: A retention system for retaining a milling drum to a driveshaft of a milling assembly. The driveshaft is powered to drive the milling drum about an axis. The retention system includes a retention member coupled to the driveshaft between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the retention member restricts a disengagement between an engagement surface of the driveshaft and a mating surface of the milling drum, inhibiting a release of the milling drum from the driveshaft along the axis. In the second position, the retention member provides clearance for the disengagement of the engagement surface and the mating surface, facilitating the release of the milling drum from the driveshaft along the axis.
