  • Patent number: 11937127
    Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to establish a data traffic flow for a user equipment (UE) device and determine per flow descriptor attributes associated with the data traffic flow, wherein the per flow descriptor attributes identify at least a source, a destination, and a protocol associated with the data traffic flow. The processor may be further configured to determine at least one additional per flow descriptor attribute for the data traffic flow and send the per flow descriptor attributes and the at least one additional per flow descriptor attribute to a network exposure device of a core network, wherein the network exposure device is configured to communicate with servers outside the core network.

  • Publication number: 20200262673
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tape element dispenser system containing a container having an opening and is configured to enclose a volume. The system also contains a single elongated tape element having a width and a height where the width is at least 5 times the height. The tape element has two ends rotationally wound in a first direction into a hollow cylinder having a central axis, the hollow having two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the central axis and the single elongated element is unwound from the hollow cylinder from one of the annular bases approximately parallel to the central axis. The single elongated element has a twist in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The opening of the container comprises a main slit having a width of at least about 105% the width of the single elongated tape element.

  • Patent number: 7754971
    Abstract: A detectable pull tape comprising at least one elongated conductive wire extending longitudinally in the tape, wherein each elongated conductive wire has a coating of insulation, a woven outer cover formed from nonconductive warp and nonconductive weft yarns, the warp yarns extending longitudinally in the tape and the weft yarns extending transversely in the tape and weaving over and under the warp yarns, and a set of binder yarns extending longitudinally in the tape, the binder yarns weaving with the weft yarns on at least one side of the conductive wires to lock the warp yarns and the conductive wires in position relative to each other. A method of detecting the location of conduit using a detectable pull tape is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080054236
    Abstract: Flexible textile innerducts are provided with multiple longitudinal chambers. A conduit is formed with the flexible textile innerducts disposed internally. After the conduit is formed with the flexible textile innerducts therein, the conduit is positioned in the use position by burying the conduit or locating it within a body. A cable is disposed within the longitudinal chambers of the flexible innerducts with the use of a pull line or by blowing the cable into the longitudinal chamber.

  • Patent number: 7319802
    Abstract: A flexible innerduct structure is configured to contain a cable within a conduit. The innerduct structure includes a pair of adjacent strip-shaped layers of flexible material that are joined along their longitudinal edges to define a channel through which the cable can extend longitudinally through the innerduct structure between the layers. The adjacent layers have differing widths between their longitudinal edges, whereby the wider layer bulges away from the narrower layer to impart an open configuration to the channel. Other features of the innerduct structure relate to the material of which it is formed. Such features includes the structure of the material, such as a woven structure, and further include properties such as melting point, tensile strength, elongation, coefficient of friction, crimp resistance and compression recovery.

  • Patent number: 6383959
    Abstract: A fabric positioned within an automotive air conditioning system to direct the flow of air from a supply manifold to a distribution manifold. The fabric includes apertures provide different combinations of airflow directions at different longitudinal positions of the fabric. The fabric has warp and fill yarns combined in a satin weave, and a coating. The fabric is positioned so that the float of the fill yarns is oriented in the same direction as the longitudial direction of the fabric.
