Publication number: 20240061964Abstract: A secure control module for BMC platform offloading to a remote application includes a processor, a network interface, and a connector with data connections. The connector is configured to connect to one or more data connections of a motherboard of a host. The secure control module includes non-transitory computer readable storage media storing code executable by the processor to perform operations that include receiving management signals from the connector. The management signals include input related to controlling the host. The operations include transmitting the management signals over the network interface to a management application running on a remote server, and receiving, over the network interface, management information from the management application. At least a portion of the management information is in response to the management signals. The operations include transmitting the management information over the connector to the host on at least one of the one or more data connections.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Scott Faasse, Christopher L.

Patent number: 9705270Abstract: A universal power outlet, a universal junction box associated with a cover, and a universal extension cord. Sensors within openings in electrical sockets detect different characteristics of plug contacts. In response to the detected characteristics, power requirements for an energy consuming device associated with the plug are correlated.

Patent number: 9296241Abstract: A method of forming a very small, i.e. microliter, finely detailed explosive train for the ignition of energetic munitions—which train is formed by ink jetting picoliter volume droplets of an explosive ink onto the substrate; which explosive ink is a pure liquid that will not clog the ink jet printer. The explosive ink being a solution composed of a secondary organic explosive solute, a polymeric binder solute, and a polar aprotic organic solvent. Where the ink jet printer is a commercial piezoelectric type, drop-on-demand, ink jet printer capable of precisely delivering the subject picoliter volume droplets. And, which printer is capable of heating said substrate to an elevated temperature to more rapidly evaporate the solvent, leaving the desired, finely detailed, efficacious, crystalline explosive train.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Andrew C. Ihnen, Woo Young Lee, Brian Fuchs, Anne Marie Petrock, Daniel Stec, III

Patent number: 8649285Abstract: Methods, traffic receivers, and computer readable storage media for testing network connections are disclosed. A traffic receiver coupled to a network under test may receive a packet. A packet group identification number (PGID and a sequence number (SN) may be extracted from the received packet. Data associated with the PGID may be retrieved from a memory, the data including a next expected sequence number (NESN), a start of run (SOR), a number of in-order packets (NIO) and a number of duplicate packets (NDP). When SN is equal to NESN, NESN and NIO may be incremented. When SN is less than NESN and SN is greater than or equal to SOR, NDP may be incremented. When SN is greater than NESN, SOR may be set to SN, NESN may be set to SN plus one, and NIO maybe incremented. Updated data may be stored in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: IxiaInventors: Brian Fuchs, Gerald Pepper, Sanjay Cartic

Patent number: 8511229Abstract: A microcavity structure. In an illustrative embodiment, the microcavity structure includes a first substrate, which has a region of interest. A second substrate with a perforation therein is bonded to the first substrate. The perforation coincides with the region of interest. In a specific embodiment, the first substrate is implemented via a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The region of interest includes one or more circuit components, including an actuator, such as a bridgewire, thereon or therein. A smoothing layer is included between the PCB and the actuator. A bonding gasket adheres the first substrate to the second substrate. The perforation accommodates energetic material that is selectively ignited via the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Inventors: Amish Desai, Bob Melendes, Ming Lu, Brian Fuchs, Stephen Chau

Patent number: 8161884Abstract: A selective fragmentation pattern of explosive material is applied to a surface of a munition. None, some, or all of the explosive material in the selective fragmentation pattern may be detonated, selectively stamping the surface of the munition with the detonated explosive material. The portion of the selective fragmentation pattern selected for ignition is determined by lethality requirements of a target of the munition. Upon detonation of the munition, fragments are formed based on the selected portion of the selective fragmentation pattern. Consequently, igniting all, some, or none of the selective fragmentation pattern may vary lethality of a munition and one munition may be used for a wide range of lethality.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Victor Kokodis, George Sudol, Brian Fuchs, Amy Wilson

Publication number: 20110261705Abstract: An apparatus, method, and storage medium for testing a network. A traffic generator may generate and transmit test traffic including a plurality of packet streams associated with a plurality of flow control groups. A traffic receiver may receive flow control packets from the network. Flow control logic may generate traffic class state data indicating a paused/not paused state for each of a plurality of traffic classes in accordance with the received flow control packets. A conversion table may map the traffic class state data into flow control data indicating a paused/not paused state for each of the plurality of flow control groups. The traffic generator may be configured to stop transmission of all packet streams associated with paused flow control groups in accordance with the flow control data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2010Publication date: October 27, 2011Inventors: Sushil S. Kamerkar, John Dalmau, Brian Fuchs

Patent number: 5038683Abstract: A high explosive assembly and a method are disclosed for projecting a long od at high velocity with enhanced penetrating energy. The high explosive assembly has an elongated core of a first high explosive having a first Chapman-Jouguet detonation velocity, an elongated liner positioned substantially along the longitudinal axis of the core, and an elongated jacket of a second high explosive encasing the core and having a second Chapman-Jouguet detonation velocity greater than the core Chapman-Jouguet detonation velocity. The jacket high explosive, upon detonation, continuously initiates detonation of the core high explosive by an imposed oblique detonation front which converges toward the center of the detonating core with time, until a trailing mach stem emerges therefrom as detonation progresses.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1989Date of Patent: August 13, 1991Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Ernest L.
