Publication number: 20240163590Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a configurable optical peering fabric to dynamically create a connection between participant sites without any physical site limitations or necessity of specialized client and network provider equipment being located within such a facility. Client sites to a network may connect to a configurable switching element to be interconnected to other client sites in response to a request to connect the first client site with a second site, also connected to network, via the switching element. A request may trigger verification of the requested and, upon validation, transmission of an instruction to the switching element to enable the cross connect within the switching element. The first site and the second site may thus be interconnected via the switching element in response to the request, without the need to co-locate equipment or to manually install a jumper between client equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Laurel Clark, Clyde David Cooper, III, Andrew Dugan

Publication number: 20240099655Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods that can determine a user's fitness based on a single factor such as oxygen lung volume (pmVO2). A heart rate measurement is conducted on the user after the user performs a physical test specified by a fitness application of the system. The heart rate measurement is converted into a pmVO2 value and compared to pmVO2 values of other individuals. The system assigns the user a fitness grade based on the comparison result. The system further includes an artificial intelligent system that helps the user to move from a grade to a higher grade.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Tyler Clark Cooper, Terdema Ussery, III

Publication number: 20070261922Abstract: A lubrication system includes an additive and a delivery system. During normal operational conditions, the lubricating oil circulating in the transmission system is collected and contained in a secondary oil reservoir to retain a quantity of the lubricating oil for use in an oil-out condition. When an oil-out condition is detected, the additive is injected and mixed with the collected lubricating oil in the secondary oil reservoir or dispersed directly into a power transmission gearbox housing to enhance the characteristics of the lubricating oil and increases the operational time period of the power transmission gearbox during an oil-out condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2006Publication date: November 15, 2007Applicant: SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Mullen, Clark Cooper, Adam Glasser, Thomas Sbabo

Publication number: 20060280946Abstract: A substrate includes a metal diamond-like-carbon coating composed of a first layer and second layer deposited thereupon and having a thickness of about 0.5 micrometer to 10 micrometers. The first layer is composed of a transition metal and includes a first surface and a second surface in contact with the substrate. The second layer is composed of carbon and a transition metal selected from the group consisting of tungsten, niobium, titanium and combinations thereof, and also includes a first surface and a second surface in contact with the first surface of the first layer. The metal-containing diamond-like-carbon coating compositions possesses an abrasive wear rate of no more than about 10×10?15 m3m?1N?1 over a negative biasing potential range of about ?50 volts to ?750 volts.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2005Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventors: Clark Cooper, Bruce Hansen, Klaus Bewilogua

Publication number: 20060048858Abstract: A surface processing method and power transmission component includes transforming a surface region of a metal alloy into a hardened surface region at a temperature that is less than a heat treating temperature of the metal alloy. The metal alloy includes about 11.1 wt % Ni, about 13.4 wt % Co, about 3.0 wt % Cr, about 0.2 wt % C, and about 1.2 wt % Mo which reacts with the C to form a metal carbide precipitate of the form M2C. The surface processing temperature, vacuum pressure, precursor gas flow and ratio, and time of processing are controlled to provide a desirable hardened surface region having a gradual transition in nitrogen concentration.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2004Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventors: Clark Cooper, Krassimir Marchev, Bill Giessen, Raymond Benn, Edward Bittner, Harsh Vinayak

Publication number: 20060048857Abstract: A surface processing method and power transmission component includes transforming by high current density ion implantation (high intensity plasma ion processing) a surface region of a metal alloy into a hardened surface region at a temperature that is less than a heat treating temperature of the metal alloy. The metal alloy includes between 1.5 wt % and 15 wt % Ni, between 5 wt % and 30 wt % Co, up to 1.0 wt % carbon, and up to 15 wt % of a carbide-forming element, such as molybdenum, chromium, tungsten, vanadium or combinations thereof, that can react with carbon to form metal carbide precipitates of the form M2C. The surface processing temperature, vacuum pressure, precursor gas flow and ratio, and time of processing are controlled to provide a desirable hardened surface region having a gradual transition in nitrogen concentration. A vapor deposition process deposits an amorphous hydrogenated carbon coating on the hardened surface region of the metal alloy.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2004Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventors: Clark Cooper, Raymond Benn, Edward Bittner, Harsh Vinayak

Publication number: 20050279426Abstract: A method of nitriding a metal includes transforming a surface region of a generally nitrogen-free metal into a nitrogen-containing solid solution surface region. A first heating process heats the surface region at a first temperature in the presence of a nitrogen gas partial pressure to form a nitrogen-charged surface portion on the surface region. A second heating process heats the surface region and nitrogen-charged surface portion at a second temperature for a predetermined time to interstitially diffuse nitrogen from the nitrogen-charged surface portion a depth into the surface region. Coincident with the second heating process, an ionized inert or reducing gas removes the nitrogen-charged surface portion. The resulting nitrogen-containing solid solution surface region has a gradual transition in nitrogen concentration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2004Publication date: December 22, 2005Inventors: Clark Cooper, Krassimir Marchev, Bill Giessen

Publication number: 20050218117Abstract: A method of surface refinement for refining a first roughness of a surface of a component to a second roughness. The method includes wetting the first roughness surface with an aqueous mixture that includes solid media. The aqueous mixture chemically alters the surface forming a chemically converted surface. Relative movement between the chemically converted surface and the solid media produces the refined second roughness.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 6, 2005Inventors: Mark Jaworowski, Xia Tang, Clark Cooper
