Publication number: 20230130254Abstract: A protective housing for a central electrical system deployed within an electric vehicle is described. The protective housing features a first housing layer, a second housing layer and a third housing layer. The first housing layer is configured to support and protect one or more power distribution units responsible for distributing high-voltage power to components within the electric vehicle. The second housing layer is positioned above the first housing layer, where the second housing layer is to support and protect a power charger that disseminates supplied input power to a high-voltage junction box for routing to the battery system of the vehicle. The third housing layer is positioned above the second housing layer, where the third housing layer is to support a high-voltage junction box that handles the routing of power between the distribution unit(s), the charger and the battery system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Alfredo Gonzalez, Enrique Garcia, Shashvat Mehta, Thomas Kosbau, John J.

Patent number: 11403149Abstract: There is provided a method of operating a virtual network function manager for management of a virtual network function. A first request to manage a virtual network function is received (404). The request comprises an indication of whether to select an alternative virtual resource for allocation if a requested virtual resource is unavailable for allocation. A second request for a virtual resource associated with the first request to manage the virtual network function is transmitted (406). The requested virtual resource has one or more predefined characteristics. If a response is received that indicates the virtual resource having the one or more predefined characteristics is unavailable for allocation (408), an alternative virtual resource is selected for allocation (412). The alternative virtual resource has one or more alternative characteristics comprising at least one alternative characteristic that is different to a corresponding one of the predefined characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2017Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Gema Segura Cava, Ana Cordoba Lefler, Alfredo Gonzalez Plaza

Patent number: 10182161Abstract: A method for modifying a quality of a connection between a terminal and an application server of a network is described. The application server provides a service to the terminal via the connection. The method includes sending, by the terminal, a quality modification request for a desired modification of a quality of the provided service, and determining, by the network, a condition of the connection to be modified based on the quality modification request. The determined condition to be modified is associated with the quality of the provided service. The method includes determining, by the network, a charging price for the determined condition of the connection to be modified, modifying, by the network, a condition of the connection, and charging, by the network, for modifying the condition of the connection.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Alfredo Gonzalez Plaza, Ricardo Barcena, Jose Luis Mariz Rios

Publication number: 20170184305Abstract: The present invention consists of a saving gas device which, being placed downstream of the pressure regulator and upstream of the consuming devices, in a natural gas or liquefied petroleum gases supply facility, improves the gas consumption efficiency by means of a recirculation, filtering and centrifugation process. The action exerted on the steam trap of the device, retains the impurities the gas contains, thus improving retention of particles and achieving the gas to come out substantially pure, as well as achieving gas molecules rearrangement by means of a centrifugation coil, obtaining flow stabilization and improving the circulation thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2015Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventor: Alfredo Gonzalez Quintana

Patent number: 8818942Abstract: Method and system for accessing subscriber data in a telecommunication system, and providing a database system with a master database and slave databases acting as memory caches located with requester applications. The method including: configuring data clusters at the master database, each data cluster identifying subscriber data associated with an operation and assigned a priority; determining at the master database the priority of the data cluster associated with a received operation; and either providing the data cluster associated with the operation from the master database towards the slave database, replicating the received data cluster at the slave database, and executing the operation with the received data cluster at the slave database, where the priority of the data cluster is higher than for previous operations; or executing the operation with the data cluster at the master database, where the priority of the data cluster is lower than for a previous operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Berta Isabel Escribano Bullon, Alfredo Gonzalez Plaza

Patent number: 8639741Abstract: In the method of the invention, requests received by a request distributor are distributed to server computers. The request distributor uses distribution information for selecting, as a destination for the requests, a server computer. A first request relating to a delivery of a service is received by the request distributor and sent to one server computer. The server computer then receives the first request. Finally, it is determined whether a further request relating to the delivery of the service is expected to be received by the request distributor, and, if so, distribution information is made available to the request distributor.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Alfredo Gonzalez Plaza, Luis Ramos Robles, Fernando Cecilia Torralba

Publication number: 20120220662Abstract: This invention comprises applying phytoceutical compositions to pets, which given their sedentary life and nutrition, are susceptible to a higher prevalence of cancer and degenerative diseases. The compounds contained in said compositions frequently have anti-oxidizing properties acting to inhibit harmful reactions of free radicals; free radicals are often a cause of cancer. Said compositions comprise extracts or concentrates obtained from the enzymatic or alkaline hydrolysis of several plant sources, containing effective concentrations of two or more phenolic compounds, such as ferulic acid, coumaric acid, caffeic acid, protocathecoic acid, and vanillic acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2009Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: BIOKAB, S.A.

Patent number: 8249562Abstract: A method and apparatus in a telecommunication network for triggering services provided to a user. A service control node in the user's home network domain utilizes filter criteria, which may be derived from the user's user profile, to trigger the services. The service control node selects at least one filter criterion depending on the criterion's relevance to the user. Alternatively, the service control node is provided with at least one filter criterion not stored in the user profile.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: John Michael Walker, Alfredo Gonzalez, Manuel Cardeno
