Publication number: 20190137125Abstract: A dust hood for a dust control system includes a first hood body and a second hood body. The first hood body and the second hood body are each selectively movable between an assembled position and a disassembled position. In the assembled position, the first hood body is adjacent to the second hood body. In the disassembled position, the first hood body is spaced apart from the second hood body.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Applicant: Air Systems Design, Inc.Inventors: Robert M.

Patent number: 9774565Abstract: Configuration of firewall functionality for routers operating within a multi-router network is contemplated. The firewall functionality configured for one or more of the routers may be based router positioning within the multi-router network. The firewall functionality may be automatically selected according to the router positioning in order to facilitate dynamic and/or adaptive router configuring.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2013Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Donley, Christopher Grundemann

Publication number: 20160006696Abstract: Network function virtualization (NFV) or other cloud/remote processing of packets, signals, messaging, etc. for a home network or other network desiring remote management is contemplated. A virtual platform or other feature outside of the managed network may be configured to implement various NFVs according to NFV designs. An administrator of the managed network may interact with a portal or other relatively unsophisticated interface to formulate the NFV designs, thereby eliminating or ameliorating complexities associated with the administrator having to individually program routers or other devices of the managed network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2015Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Christopher Donley, John Berg, Michael Kloberdans

Publication number: 20150003828Abstract: A digital (fiber optic) link transports one or more RF digital signal blocks, that when converted into analog and (optionally) converted to a RF center frequency with an D-A converter, form RF analog signal blocks. The RF analog signal block occupies a specified frequency band and is preferably capable of being distributed over a downstream coaxial portion of a HFC network and/or being broadcast. The D-A conversion is performed in a fiber node at a remote location where the transmission medium converts from digital optical fiber preferably to coaxial cable. The multiple RF digital signal blocks may be broadcast to multiple nodes or unicast to a single node. The RF signal blocks allow for any type of band-limited RF signal to be transported. The optical digital traffic to compose a RF analog signal blocks using a D-A converter may be point-to-point Ethernet, or may utilize a software-defined networking controller such as the one described in the OpenFlow™ specification, and may use buffering as necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Thomas H. Williams, Luis Alberto Campos, Christopher Donley
