  • Patent number: 12659233
    Abstract: Devices, computer-readable media, and methods for automatically configuring network elements in multi-vendor and multi-domain topologies. In one example, a method includes determining a need of a communications network, where a topology of the communications network includes a plurality of network functions from at least two different vendors, predicting a subset of the plurality of network functions and respective configuration parameter values for network functions in the subset, that are expected to support the need of the communications network, and modifying the configurations of the network functions in the subset to reflect the respective configuration parameter values.

  • Publication number: 20110138668
    Abstract: A recoil converter for reducing the recoil shock of a gun by up to 95 percent is provided with a gun stock prepared to have a shorter length at its rear end by about 1 1/2? from the intended overall length, a middle bore and two guide holes. A mixed gas chamber absorbs most of the recoil from shooting by having a hybrid tubular body of a stainless steel midsection and an aluminum head and tail sections welded together. The head section has a central hole for receiving a threaded plug to close and adjust the interior volume of the chamber under gas pressure and a side gas port for controllably injecting a predetermined amount of the mixed gas with the plug shifted behind the gas port. A plunger of the gas chamber takes the recoil into the pressurized interior volume.
