Patent number: 8757236Abstract: An apparatus and method to seat a tire on a rim are described. Protrusions and a handle on the apparatus allow a user to brace the protrusions against the rim to prevent blow back when air is vented into the gap between the tire and the rim to seat the tire bead. The air is vented through a plurality of holes in the apparatus and the flow of the air into the apparatus is controlled by positioning a bridge handle of a flow control valve situated between the apparatus and a tank of air.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Bosch Automotive Service Solutions LLCInventor: Michael R. White

Publication number: 20100169719Abstract: Flow information records are identified and sorted out based on the sending and/or receiving customer. Prior art problems are overcome by using a combination of router identification, SNMP numbers and interface numbers to identify the source and destination of data flow records. A flow information packet containing one or more information flow records is received at a flow process and parsed to identify the router source. The datagram of the flow information packet is examined to identify an SNMP number associated with the source and/or destination affiliated with the flow information packet. Based on the SNMP number, the interface of the router associated with the datagram is identified and the records are accordingly sorted into buckets. The total traffic through the router interface for a period of time is obtained via an SNMP query and the data apportioned to a bucket is scaled based on the results.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2009Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Herve Marc Carruzzo, Todd Andrew Vierling, Michael R. White
