  • Publication number: 20220359973
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for cellular communication components includes a support mast and a mast bracket with w-shaped geometry. The mast bracket includes a central body defining a groove to receive the support mast. The mast bracket also includes a first support tab extending from the central body opposite the groove in a first direction. The first support tab defines a first slot. A second support tab extends from the central body opposite the groove in the first direction with the second support tab substantially parallel to the first support tab and defining a second slot. A device bracket is coupled to the mast bracket and comprises an elongated body to receive cellular equipment. A third support tab extends from the elongated body opposite the mating surface and defines a fifth slot. A fastener extends through the first slot, the second slot, and the fifth slot.

  • Patent number: 10540173
    Abstract: An application development system allows developers of software system to manage infrastructure resources during the development and testing process. The application development system allows users to define application containers that comprise components including source code, binaries, and virtual databases used for the application. An application container can be associated with policies that control various aspects of the actions taken using the application container including constraints and access control. The application development system enforces the policies for actions taken by users for the application containers. The encapsulation of policies with the application containers allows users of the application containers to take actions including creating virtual databases, provisioning virtual databases, and the like without requiring system administrators to manage resource issues.

  • Publication number: 20150066570
    Abstract: A self-managed inventory, supply chain dynamic SKU performance and optimization system may be provided. Service trigger generation may monitor the inventory status and direct when service should occur at a dealer location based on market demand. Demand based service may generate a service trigger when the dealer's inventory level reaches a service threshold. Enhanced SKU depth optimization may be employed to provide SKU depth recommendations based upon how product is moving in the market place to ensure that demand based service is reaching a service trigger at a desired service interval. Enhanced SKU depth optimization may be combined with at least one service trigger including a demand trigger to create demand based service, a route trigger to create enhanced route service, and an order trigger to create enhanced order service.
