  • Publication number: 20180113497
    Abstract: A charge leveler coupled between an external power supply and a data storage device includes a current limiter to receive an input current from the external power supply and to provide a limited input current at no more than a pre-determined level. A charge reservoir couplable in parallel with an output of the current limiter supplements the limited input current when the pre-determined level is exceeded. The charge reservoir is replenished with surplus limited current when the data storage device draws less than the pre-determined level. A boost assist regulator monitors a requested current from the data storage device, and initiates operation of the charge reservoir to supplement the limited input current when the requested current exceeds the limited input current.

  • Publication number: 20170146133
    Abstract: A valve for control of fluid flow in a fire protection system, having a body forming a fluid path between an inlet and an outlet connected via a seat, and a clapper with a bottom sealing surface and a top with a latch abutment portion. The valve further comprises an arm coupled to the valve body about a hinge point and having a closure end with an optional roller or ball. The arm is movable to engage the clapper and maintain the clapper closed, or to disengage and allow the clapper to open. The arm is disposed such that the opening force on the clapper is transferred primarily directly to the body, providing large closing force against the clapper, requires relatively small force to dislodge the arm, and in many embodiments substantially isolates the closing force from the force required to dislodge the arm.

  • Publication number: 20170026422
    Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) is used in IMS in order to provide a mechanism to forward (Internet Protocol) IP packets and provide a simplified solution to the complex signaling path of IMS according to directives from an SDN Controller. SDN is used in at least three particular scenarios. In the first scenario, communications are simplified using SDN directed signaling disaggregation. In the second scenario, SDN is used to direct media function chaining. In the third scenario, the system can be used as an SDN based media relay.
