Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication device disposed onboard a displaced vehicle. The first communication device communicates with a second communication device onboard a lead vehicle of a vehicle system for the lead vehicle to remotely control operation of the vehicle system. The first communication device receives a reconfiguration signal from the second communication device. A remote control (RC) communication device is disposed onboard the first displaced vehicle. The RC communication device wirelessly receives a control signal from an operator control unit (OCU) for the OCU to remotely control the first displaced vehicle. A communication controller reconfigures the RC communication device to repeat the control signal from the OCU responsive to the first communication device of the first displaced vehicle receiving the reconfiguration signal from the second communication device of the lead vehicle or another reconfiguration signal from an off-board or on-board location.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described herein for minimizing the downtime for nodes in a network-accessible server set. The downtime may be minimized by determining an optimal timeout value for which a fabric controller waits to perform a recovery action. The optimal timeout value may be determined for each cluster in the network-accessible server set. The optimal timeout value advantageously reduces the overall downtime for customer workloads running on a node for which contact has been lost. The optimal timeout value for each cluster may be based on a predictive model based on the observed historical patterns of the nodes within that cluster. In the event that an optimal timeout value is not determined for a particular cluster (e.g., due to a lack of observed historical patterns), the fabric controller may fall back to a less than optimal timeout value.

Abstract: A cruise control system for a vehicle having an engine and a power take-off throttle control capable of controlling the speed of the engine includes a cruise control device in communication with a speedometer of the vehicle and the power take-off throttle control. The cruise control device includes a processor configured for receiving a user selection of a set ground speed, determining a current ground speed of the vehicle, via communication with the speedometer, comparing the current ground speed with the set ground speed, and taking further action to maintain the current ground speed close to the set ground speed. The further action taken by the processor may include transmitting an acceleration signal or deceleration signal to the power take-off throttle control to increase or decrease a speed of the engine if the current ground speed is determined to be lower or higher than the set ground speed.

Abstract: A portable device for checking wind direction discharges a visible, and optionally scented, vapor stream into the atmosphere in a well-defined reference direction. In some embodiments, the device includes a power source, a vessel having an internal plenum chamber storing a volume of air, a reservoir containing a vaporizable agent, a vaporizing element associated with the vaporizable agent, and a pressure switch. The vessel is deformable to generate an airflow that operates the pressure switch to temporarily connect the power source to the vaporizing element, thereby energizing the vaporizing element to generate vapor. The airflow also carries the vapor into the atmosphere as a visible vapor stream flowing in the reference direction. The reservoir and vaporizing element may be carried in a cartridge removably mounted on the device. Other embodiments operate similarly, but use alternative means for generating gaseous flow to operate the switch and/or carry vapor into the atmosphere.

Abstract: A shared storage system includes a plurality of storage processors. A first storage processor of the plurality of storage processors is coupled with a shared storage device having a plurality of storage devices. The first storage processor receives a first verify connectivity request from an initiator device. In response to the first verify connectivity request, the first storage processor transmits a first ready response to the initiator device. After transmitting the first ready response, the first storage processor detects that the first storage processor is decoupled from the shared storage device. In accordance with detecting that the first storage processor is decoupled from the shared storage device, the first storage processor transmits a not-ready response to the initiator device in response to a second verify connectivity request from the initiator device.
