Abstract: An apparatus such as an Optical Network Tester (ONT) may include an embedded script interpreter to interpret a script for testing an optical transponder coupled to the ONT. The ONT may identify a control based on a statement included in the script, and cause, via an electrical interface, an interaction with the optical transponder to occur based on the control. The ONT may generate a first timestamped log entry to indicate a timing of the control, detect a data path event associated with the optical transponder, generate a second timestamped log entry to indicate a timing of the data path event, and determine that the data path event was caused by the control based on the first timestamped log entry and the second timestamped log entry. The ONT may further assess operation of the optical transponder based on the determination that the data path event was caused by the control.

Abstract: A vehicle controller may determine a decelerator input associated with controlling an engine speed of an engine of the vehicle. The vehicle controller may determine, while the vehicle is moving and based on the decelerator input satisfying a braking threshold, that an engine decelerator, associated with the decelerator input, is to be enabled for use in stopping the vehicle. The vehicle controller may determine, based on determining that the engine decelerator is to be used to cause the vehicle to be stopped, an amount of braking to be applied by a braking device of the vehicle to stop the vehicle. The vehicle controller may automatically cause the braking device to apply the amount of braking to stop the vehicle.

Abstract: A reverse input lock clutch has a fitting portion of a spring stopper rotatably fitted in a cylindrical dent formed by being surrounded by an inner diameter portion on an end surface of an output member on a side opposite to a fixed member.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process of dynamically assigning operational parameters for access points within a CBRS (Citizen Broadband Radio Service) network. In particular, the disclosed technology monitors for and detects interference between nearby access points and user equipment devices that may belong to the same enterprise or to different enterprises. Machine learning processes are used to revise the operational parameters that were initially assigned by the Spectrum Access System (SAS). These processes are also used to suggest an updated set of operational parameters to the SAS for the access points. The dynamic assignment reduces interference experienced by the access point with respect to nearby other access points and/or nearby other user equipment. The dynamic assignment aims to improve a quality of communication between the access point and its associated user equipment.

Abstract: A resonant power converter is disclosed with a method of limiting output current therefrom. A switch operating frequency is regulated to provide output current to a load, wherein an error signal corresponds to a difference between the output current and a reference value. The error value is fed back to switch operating frequency control circuit via an optocoupler. A maximum detector diode current for the optocoupler is clamped to a maximum value when the error signal exceeds or equals a clamping threshold value. The clamping threshold value may correspond to a maximum output current at a maximum normal operating temperature, wherein the method utilizes the relationship between ambient temperature and the current transfer ratio (CTR) for the optocoupler. The CTR decreases when the detector diode current is clamped, which decreases output current and output power, reducing power loss in the enclosure and relieving thermal stress at high temperatures.

Abstract: Prospective deals for a deal vendor's deal inventory may be scored according to one or more population-specific expected-yield scores, such as expected revenue yield, expected new customers yield, and the like. A prospective deal is categorized and characterized according to a number of yield-related characteristics. Some or all of the prospective deal's characteristics are mapped to yield components derived from completed deals that have been offered to a particular population. An expected-yield score for a prospective deal with regard to that population is obtained by combining the mapped yield components.
