Patent number: 8400919Abstract: Layer-7 application layer message (“message”) classification is disclosed. A network traffic management device (“NTMD”) receives incoming messages over a first TCP/IP connection from a first network for transmission to a second network. Before transmitting the incoming messages onto the second network, however, the NTMD classifies the incoming messages according to some criteria, such as by assigning one or more priorities to the messages. The NTMD transmits the classified messages in the order of their message classification. Where the classification is priority based, first priority messages are transmitted over second priority messages, and so forth, for example.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: F5 Networks, Inc.Inventors: Saxon Amdahl, Robert Lennie, Richard Larson

Patent number: 8316849Abstract: An integrated respiratory ventilation system and method for its calibration is described. The system includes a ventilator having air conduits, transducers adapted to emit signals proportional to the level of air pressure or air flow within the air conduits, and inspiration, expiration and exhaust ports. A processor-controlled calibrator is in communication with one or more of the air conduits. A preferred calibrator includes a water-filled outer column and a vertically aligned inner column extending into the outer column, the inner column having an upper end in communication with at least one of the ports. A processor controls the opening and closing of the ports and the level of air pressure in, and air flow from, the inner column to measure the level of transducer signals at two known pressures and two known flows. The processor uses the measured transducer signals to calibrate the transducer.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Buxco Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Lomask, Richard A.

Patent number: 8042576Abstract: The present invention provides a test plug for use with a clean-out that extends at an angle from a pipe section of a pipe system. In general, the test plug includes a sealing assembly that is actuated by an actuating member extending at an angle from the sealing assembly. The sealing assembly includes a first plate, a second plate, a valve that is configured to draw the first and second plates together, and a ring-shaped sealing member located between the first and second plates. In various embodiments, the actuating member is configured to move the valve between an open position, in which test media may be communicated through at least one opening in the first plate and through at least one opening in the second plate, and a closed position, in which the valve seals the opening of the first plate and in which the sealing member extends outwardly to seal against an internal surface of the pipe section.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: IPS CorporationInventors: Stephen Peterson, Richard Larson

Patent number: 7597118Abstract: The present invention provides a pneumatic test plug that seals a portion of a pipe section having a generally cylindrical internal pipe wall. In general, the pneumatic test plug includes an inflation valve mounted in the bladder wall of an inflatable bladder. The inflation valve includes a main air passageway through which air is introduced into the bladder and a separate release channel. The separate release channel includes an inlet disposed toward an interior end of the inflation valve and an outlet in fluid communication with an exterior environment outside the bladder. When in a sealed position, a sealing portion of the bladder engages the interior end of the inflation valve and sealingly closes the inlet of the release channel. When the sealing portion is elastically deflected by overinflation of the bladder, the sealing portion uncovers the inlet of the release channel to allow air to escape from the interior area of the bladder through the release channel to the exterior environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: IPS CorporationInventors: Stephen Peterson, Richard Larson
