  • Patent number: 11616786
    Abstract: Various computers will communicate messages back and forth over a communication network. These communications may exchange various information. In one aspect, an apparatus for communicating data over a communication network may comprise a computer processor, a receiver, and a memory. The computer processor may generate a request for transmission to a first server via the communication network. The request may include a data inquiry for data about an authorized user of a communication device. The computer processor may also generate a communication message for transmission to the authorized user with a prompt to provide user data via the communication device. The receiver may receive a response from the first server and user data from the communication device. The computer processor may further format the user data and generate a dynamic value based on the formatted response for display.

  • Patent number: 11614958
    Abstract: A secondary pool of VMs is used to run secondary services or jobs, which may be evicted upon failure of a corresponding primary VM. Upon detection of a failure of a primary resource, the secondary services or jobs are evicted from secondary pool resources, and the secondary pool resources can be automatically allocated to the jobs of the failed primary resource. In this regard, a secondary job may be thought of as a preemptible job and comprises services or jobs that are lower priority than the service or job on the primary resource. By using computing resources in the secondary pool to run secondary or preemptible jobs, this technology makes use of what would be otherwise idle resources. This beneficially avoids having to allocate additional and separate computing resources for secondary jobs, leads to more efficient use of network resources, and reduces costs.

  • Patent number: 11616830
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a computer-implemented method of implementing an on-demand computing network environment. A network specification is received from a user. Resources from one or more resource providers are provisioned. The on-demand computing network is configured, where configuring comprises assigning a first provisioned resource as a hub device and assigning one or more second provisioned resources as rim devices, where a particular rim device comprises a bridge device, where the bridge device repackages data received from the on-demand computing network prior to forwarding that data such that the data received from the on-demand computing network appears to terminate at the bridge device to an observer viewing the data between the hub device and the bridge device.

  • Patent number: 11616585
    Abstract: An outdoor satellite receiving unit (ODU) receives several independent satellite signals, selects two signals with a switch matrix, downconverts the two signals to a bandstacked signal with a high and a low band signal, and outputs the bandstacked signal on the same cable to receiver units. Several satellite signals can be selected in groups of two or more and output to independent receiver units. Signal selecting is performed at the received radio frequency (RF) and bandstacking is performed with a single downconversion step to an intermediate frequency (IF). Channel stacking on the same cable of more than two channels from several satellites can be achieved by using frequency agile downconverters and bandpass filters prior to combining at the IF output. A slow transitioning switch minimizes signal disturbances when switching and maintains input impedance at a constant value.

  • Patent number: 11612139
    Abstract: A dispenser includes an outer shell and diaphragm pumps that can be operated by an animal to dispense materials, such as a gel, with a flow viscosity between 1-100,000 cps. The outer shell houses a pressure-actuated sound generator and has outer surfaces with tongue cleaners. The outer shell includes receivers wherein diaphragm pumps can be installed. The diaphragm pumps are of a prescribed volume between 0.1 ml and 50 ml so that the amount of oral gel ejected into a dog's mouth can be determined. The outer shell is sufficiently flexible to be compressed by an animal's jaws such that the oral gel is pumped via actuation of the diaphragm pump. Gel is ejected or pumped to the teeth of the animal and in combination of sounds being generated, more or less simultaneously with the distribution of oral gel in a prescribed and measured volume.

  • Patent number: 11613482
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for treating wastewater onboard a marine vessel or other limited space application where wastewater treatment is required. In one embodiment of the invention, two polar opposite wastewater treatment processes are incorporated into the same treatment system. The system is a hybrid treatment unit that combines a conventional wastewater treatment using a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process-based biological treatment unit in combination with a novel electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) via an in-situ sodium hypochlorite recirculation. The clarified and disinfected effluent from this hybrid treatment unit is filtered to remove residual TSS. The filtered and disinfected effluent is discharged after dechlorination/neutralization. On-site maintenance disinfectant can be produced via the electrochemical/electrochlorination/electro-oxidation process and used for both treatment unit cleaning and disinfection.

  • Patent number: 11613866
    Abstract: Disclosed is retainer for a nut. The retainer is positioned within the frame that provides access to a closure. The closure, in turn, is secured by way of a removable cover. The cover is removably secured to the frame by way of a series of bolts and corresponding nuts. The nuts are secured by way of the retainer to allow the bolts to be secured. Each retainer includes upper and lower opening and an internal area. The upper opening is preferably angled such that the nut must be oriented at an angle in order to be inserted into the retainer. The internal area of each retainer includes a ledge with an angled step. The angled step function is rotating the nut to a horizontal orientation after it has been inserted into the retainer. Thereafter, a user can access the nut with a finger through the lower opening. This allows the nut to be rotated and removed via the upper opening. The various features of the present retainer, and the manner in which they interrelate, are described in greater detail hereinafter.
