Patent number: 10710680Abstract: A marine mooring line vermin shield to prevent the passage of vermin crawling along a marine mooring line from land to a pleasure craft, including a disc with a centrally located aperture through the disc, and a slot extending from the aperture to a periphery of the disc. The vermin shield also includes a closure that is urged to insert into the disc slot in a closed state compressing the mooring line against the aperture to secure the vermin shield against the mooring line. The closure may also be locked in the closed state. The closure can also be extracted from the disc slot in an open state to allow the mooring line to be removed from the aperture through the slot past the disc periphery.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Inventor: Arthur E.

Patent number: 6931102Abstract: A method and system for use in a central office (CO) having network elements for communicating information between a central office technician (COT) stationed within the CO and network element monitoring personnel or monitoring center stationed remote from the CO. A local area network (LAN) having a hub stationed remote from the CO and a fiber communication line connected to the hub is provided. The fiber communication line has one end extending to the hub and the other end extending within the central office. The hub is operable for communicating with network element monitoring personnel stationed remote from the CO. A node transceiver is coupled to the other end of the fiber communication line within the central office. A wireless transceiver is operable with the node transceiver for providing a communication link between a COT stationed within the CO and the network element monitoring personnel stationed remote from the CO via the local area network.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Qwest Communications International Inc.Inventors: Arthur E. Onweller, Paul J. Meyer

Patent number: 5907610Abstract: A communications networking system is disclosed for controlling and monitoring devices within a telephony central office. The networking system includes a high bandwidth local area network (LAN) within the central office for transferring substantially all communications between each central office network element and remote telephony operational support systems (OSSs) that control and monitor network element performance. The LAN simplifies communications within the central office: (a) by substantially eliminating direct connections, between central office network elements and remote OSSs, and (b) by utilizing at least one standardized communication protocol such as TCP/IP, UDP/IP, or OSI when transferring communications over the LAN. The networking system includes a mediation device(s) for translating between network element specific protocols and a standardized protocol used on the LAN.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1998Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: U S West, Inc.Inventor: Arthur E. Onweller

Patent number: 5799016Abstract: An addressing scheme is disclosed for a network wherein addresses of the scheme not only uniquely identify addressable process interfaces or nodes communicating with the network, but also each such address encodes information related to a communication channel utilized by the node to which the address is assigned in communicating with the network. Thus for each node communicating on a wide area network wherein the node resides on a local area network at a location having one or more local area networks, the address assigned to the node encodes information related to the node's location, the local area network through which the node communicates. Further, if the node communicates with the local area network through an intermediary device, then the address may also encode information related to communication channel characteristics between the node and the intermediary device. The addressing scheme is particularly applicable to internet protocol addressed networks.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: U S West, Inc.Inventor: Arthur E.
