The biasing force may be imparted to the clapper assembly via the cam arm and roller, so that the clapper assembly obstructs the flow path.

Abstract: Configuration of a line of sight, multiple input, multiple output circular antenna array involves setting an integer number of antenna arrays up to a number of antenna ports for the circular antenna array and a maximum radius for any antenna ring within the circular antenna array. A capacity is determined for each of a plurality of different combinations of each of: an integer number of antenna rings up to a predetermined maximum number of antenna rings, a number of the antenna arrays for each of the number of antenna rings, and angular offsets for that antenna arrays on each of the antenna rings. The determined capacities for the plurality of different combinations are compared.

Abstract: Conventionally, software-based services that utilize satellites are manually and painstakingly configured, provisioned, activated, and calibrated, because the complexity and variability of satellite links prevent automated and scalable service orchestration. Accordingly, systems and processes are disclosed for automated and scalable orchestration of services that utilize satellite links. In response to a service request, comprising a service definition for an end-to-end service, parameter(s) of a satellite link that satisfies the service definition may be calculated. These parameter(s) may be used to select a configuration for a satellite-network service chain, comprising a plurality of virtual network functions, from a service catalog. The satellite-network service chain may then be instantiated, within a cloud infrastructure, using the selected configuration.
