Publication number: 20140341109Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a converged gateway (CGW) may be disclosed. A policy may be by the CGW to make routing decisions (e.g. segregation and/or aggregation of flows or traffic associated with data) for various interfaces and/or radio access technologies (RATs) that may be included in a LAN, device, and/or communication system. The policy may be locally stored within the CGW. Dynamic flow management, load balancing, offloading, PDF context establishment, prioritization, detection of devices, and the like may also be provided and/or implemented in the CG W and may be used to route flows and/or traffic associated with data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2012Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: John Cartmell, John L.

Patent number: 8477031Abstract: A communication port identification system enables an intelligent interconnect patch panel to reliably track connections to network switches. Network switch ports are provided with port ID modules that are inserted into the ports. Intelligent interconnect patch cords each utilize a patch cord microcontroller and out-of-band conductors to enable communication between an intelligent interconnect patch panel and the port ID modules of the switch port. Each port ID module is provided with a unique identification number, and the intelligent interconnect patch panel is thereby able to track all of its connections to the port ID modules in real time, and to update a network management system accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2008Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: John M. McNally, Shahriar B. Allen, Satish I. Patel

Publication number: 20130116844Abstract: The grid load synchronization system described herein permits proactive mitigation of the effects of large loads transitioning on and off the power grid and the resultant risks and power quality issues associated therewith. The disclosed proactive system permits a grid-connected power consumer to synchronize demand with power storage equipment in real time using a digital communication link. The power consumer transmits requests to bring a load online or offline to a control site. The control site coordinates power grid source(s) and power grid loads to maintain power quality when loads go on and offline. The control sites manage requests from multiple power consumers and schedule the various loads for the consumers to mitigate the effects of large loads transitioning on and off the power grid. The resulting power quality can be guaranteed when adequate battery resources are made proactively available, rather than reacting to line conditions to engage compensation actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2010Publication date: May 9, 2013Applicant: A123 Systems, Inc.Inventors: John M.
