  • Patent number: 11936659
    Abstract: Described are examples for providing a system for managing configuration and policies for a virtualized wide area network (vWAN) support on a wide area network (WAN). The vWAN includes a plurality of virtual network entities associated with geographic locations including the physical computing resources of the WAN and virtual connections between the virtual network entities. The system includes a network safety component for managing configurations and policies of the vWAN on the WAN. The network safety component receives a change to a policy or configuration of the vWAN from an operator of a network connected to the vWAN. The network safety component evaluates a set of safety rules for the operator based on the change and a network state of a physical WAN underlying the vWAN. The network safety component generates an error message in response to at least one of the set of safety rules failing the evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11933586
    Abstract: A vector control composite system and methods for producing a vector control strategy capable of blocking mosquito host-seeking cues for reducing the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. The vector control composite system comprises a substrate coated with a composition further comprising nanoparticles functionalized to block thermal, vibrational, or gray body energy emission of an emitter, thus interfering with mosquito infrared receptor functions for host-seeking. The vector control composite system may comprise a base substrate coated with an IR ceramic coating having an insulation component, a multispectral signature mitigation component, an IR anti-reflective component, whereby the multispectral signature mitigation component and IR anti-reflective component contain functionalized nanoparticles. Embodiments of the vector control composite system may be incorporated in various textiles used as nets, garments, tents, and equipment.

  • Patent number: 11931622
    Abstract: An indoor, stationary, bicycle training device that provides advantages over conventional designs of exercise bicycles is provided. The stationary bicycle may include a tilting/pivoting mechanism to orient the indoor bicycle to simulate descending or climbing. The indoor bicycle may include flexible and resilient frame elements to support the indoor training device to move side-to-side under some riding situations thereby simulating the side-to-side swaying motion of an outdoor bicycle under the same riding situations. The indoor bicycle may include several combinations of frame adjustments to provide configurable dimensions of the indoor bicycle to adjust the frame to properly fit the rider, which may be adjusted based on corresponding dimensions of a user's outdoor bicycle. Still other aspects of the stationary bicycle device may aid in creating an “outdoor” feeling while using the device.
