  • METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF DELAY IN ROUND TRIP LATENCY FOR A CONNECTION WHERE THE TCP TRAFFIC DOES NOT CONTAIN MULTI-PACKET RESPONSES OR MAY NOT BE TRANSACTION ORIENTED TRAFFIC.
    Publication number: 20140078911
    Abstract: A network round trip time measurement apparatus and method employ request/response timing to determine network round trip time. An initial network round trip value is determined, and subsequent network round trip values are determined for possible better measurement values. Response send time and subsequent next request receipt times are employed to determine network round trip values, as well as response and ack packet times.

  • System and method for handling wide dynamic range signals encountered in vibration analysis using a logarithmic amplifier
    Patent number: 8676521
    Abstract: A data acquisition system for vibration analysis signals includes a logarithmic amplifier for compressing wide dynamic range signals. The logarithmic amplifier replaces attenuators, gain amplifiers, and gain switches used in a conventional system. Further, only a low bit-count analog to digital converter is needed in combination with the logarithmic amplifier. Consequently, the footprint of the system and system cost are reduced.

  • Array connector test harness for single-ended optical test instruments
    Patent number: 8670110
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for testing optical fiber systems by providing a near-end and far-end harness that loops the set of fibers in the fiber system together. The near-end harness has an interface to connect to the tester. The tester then effects testing on the entire set of fibers, which are looped together by the configuration of the two harnesses creating a single optical path that traverses the entire set or subset of fibers in the network, so a launched test signal propagates through the entire set of looped fibers, providing measurement results for the fibers.

  • System and method for objective self-diagnosis of measurement device calibration condition
    Patent number: 8655624
    Abstract: A measurement system uses a plurality of transducers that may differ from each other in at least one respect, such as having different operating principles or being made by different manufacturers. Respective measurement values obtained from the transducers are applied to a processor which provides a measured value based on the measurement values from a plurality of the transducers. The processor also provides information about the calibration drift of each of the transducers based upon a comparison between the measurement value obtained from the transducer to a value obtained from a combination of respective measurement values obtained from a plurality of the transducers. The calibration drift information provides an objective evaluation about the calibration condition of each of the transducers. When a transducer is determined to be outside of its calibration tolerance, a calibration needed alert occurs.

  • Open-loop vertical drywell gradient correction system and method
    Patent number: 8651734
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for controlling a drywell including a receiver having upper and lower ends with the lower end being more insulated than the upper end having a temperature sensor in thermal contact therewith. Upper and lower heating elements are in thermal contact with the upper and lower ends, respectively. A controller includes an integrated circuit having a temperature sensor. A reading from the integrated circuit is used to control power to the upper heating element and reduce a temperature gradient between the upper and lower ends of the receiver.

  • Electro-mechanical microwave switch
    Patent number: 8648268
    Abstract: A switch for selectively routing electrical signals, particularly microwave signals, in a printed circuit board includes a rotatable contact that is connected to a shaft. A first motor is configured to rotate the shaft and a second motor is configured to axially move the shaft to lift the contact from the printed circuit board. A position controller produces driving signals that are received by the first and second motors to lift the contact from the printed circuit board, rotate the contact to a desired position and lower the contact to the circuit board.
