  • Patent number: 12294500
    Abstract: A model-driven system automatically deploys a virtualized service, including multiple service components, on a distributed cloud infrastructure. A master service orchestrator causes a cloud platform orchestrator to retrieve a cloud services archive file, extract a cloud resource configuration template and create cloud resources at appropriate data centers as specified. The master service orchestrator also causes a software defined network controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file, to extract a cloud network configuration template and to configure layer 1 through layer 3 virtual network functions and to set up routes between them. Additionally, the master service orchestrator causes an application controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file, to extract a deployment orchestration plan and to configure and start layer 4 through layer 7 application components and bring them to a state of operational readiness.

  • Patent number: 12294177
    Abstract: The present invention involves a method for reducing the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) by providing EMI protection to a high voltage connector assembly, by employing a conductive outer housing, having a conductive tab or plurality of conductive tabs, the conductive outer housing also accommodating a seal (seal spring), a second outer housing, and a conductive third outer housing. The tabs being conductive coated to provide an element or portion of a grounding scheme for a connector assembly containing the outer housing. The conductive tabs make substantial contact with the conductive third outer housing and complete a portion of the connector assembly grounding scheme. The seal spring provides more force, additional force, for higher contact pressure with the third outer housing than would be present without the seal spring, resulting in better electrical conductivity between a conductive tab and the conductive third outer housing when in use.

  • Publication number: 20250141678
    Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to time-aware blockchain staged regulatory control of Internet of Things (“IoT”) data. A federation platform can receive a registration request from an enterprise edge platform to register a blockchain identifier for publication of public data on a public blockchain. The federation platform can determine if the registration request contains any restricted data parameters. In response to determining that the registration request does not contain any restricted data parameters, the federation platform can query a security module to obtain an encryption key.
