  • Patent number: 11718405
    Abstract: A lug assembly can include a frame, lug base, lug, and door. The lug assembly can be attached to a projectile that can be coupled and decoupled to an aircraft via the lug assembly. The frame can slidably receive the door. The lug can connect to the lug base and rotate thereabout from a first lug position to a second lug position upon the projectile decoupling. In the second lug position, the lug is contained within the frame such that an aerodynamic profile of the projectile is preserved. The door can connect to the lug base via a closing mechanism including one or more tension mechanism that apply a closing force to the door. Upon the projectile decoupling, the closing force causes the door to slide from a first to a second position, the door transitioning the lug to the second lug position and substantially sealing the frame opening.

  • Patent number: 9491079
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by processors, cause the processors to perform: at a management computer, receiving, from a gateway located in a managed network, device information about devices in the managed network; for a particular device: determining a match between the device capabilities of the particular device and features of a particular network software application configured to control the particular device, and determining a particular protocol endpoint configured to communicate control instructions from the particular network software application to the particular device; receiving, from the gateway, aggregated data that reflects network utilization by the devices located in the managed network; for the particular device: based at least in part on the aggregated data, using the particular network software application, determining control instructions for the particular device; causing the particular protocol endpoint to transmit the con
