Patent number: 11428507Abstract: A blast-resistant escape window for an armored combat ground vehicle has a cassette which fits within, and closes, a though-opening in a frame of a windscreen. Two releasable lever-operated locking mechanisms for releasably locking the cassette in the through-opening are mounted on the windscreen at opposite sides of the through-opening. The cassette can to be pushed out of the through-opening when the locking mechanisms have been operated to release the cassette from being locked to the windscreen, thereby providing an alternative exit for personnel in the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Navistar Defense, LLCInventors: James G. Rasico, John A. Green, Anthony S. Beggs, Louis A. Carnevale, Gordon J. Wolverton, Craig A. Newman, David M. Gerst, Dale S. Norman, Jeffrey M. Fsadni

Patent number: 9162030Abstract: A safety pen needle assembly is provided herein which includes a hub and a needle fixed to the hub. Further, a first shield is provided, along with a second shield which has a biasing element disposed to urge the second shield proximally towards a proximal end of the needle. The assembly further includes a releasable retaining assembly for releasably retaining the second shield in an initial position against the force of the biasing element. A predetermined extent of movement of the first shield causes the retaining assembly to release the second shield. With the second shield being released, the second shield is urged proximally by the biasing element to a second position where the second shield covers the proximal end of the needle. Advantageously, an assembly is provided which allows for passive activation of a shield on a non-patient end of a pen needle assembly by a patient-end shield.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Tieming Ruan, Stephen Richards, Eliot Zaiken, Craig Newman, Vadim Goykhman, Joseph Alu, Michael Vincent Quinn

Publication number: 20050152528Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that use resources more efficiently for calls originating and terminating in a first address space that use services in an IP address space. A call is established from an originator in a first address space to an IP device within an IP address space. The IP device sends a message to a switch in the first address space indicating a new destination in the first address space. The established call is released and a second call is established from the originator in the first address space to the new destination in the first address space. In another implementation, a first leg of a call is established to an IP device from a first address space. The IP device establishes a second leg of a call to a destination in the first address space. The calls are bridged and resources released.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Craig Newman, Carolyn Munzing

Patent number: 6715108Abstract: The present invention provides a method of and system for managing test case versions in which each test case version is associated with an application program load version. A set of test case versions is maintained in a test case library or database. Each test case version is identified in the test case library by date order sequence number. A test case version is selected for use with respect to a particular application program version selecting a subset of test case versions from the set of test case versions. The subset includes test case versions, if any, associated with the particular application program version and test case versions associated with application program versions earlier than the particular application program version. The method selects the latest application program version included in the subset of test case versions. The method then selects the latest test case version from the versions for the selected latest application program version.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: WorldCom, Inc.Inventors: Brian Badger, Jonathan Gardner, Craig Newman, Eugene E.

Patent number: 6189031Abstract: A system software solution for testing various network elements/entities and processes in a telecommunications network is provided. A network under test contains network entities which save data to a common database that is associated with processing particular test cases. A configurable emulator correlates database data from the network under test and compares the received message with anticipated test case results. A disposition of the test case is determined and a response is made by the emulator. Emulator configuration allows defining a network switching elements predictable behavior, with appropriate response messages thereof, based on received messages. Controlling a network switching elements behavior allows testing the behavior of other related network elements.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1998Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: MCI Communications CorporationInventors: Brian Badger, William Liese, Craig Newman

Patent number: 5987633Abstract: A system software solution for testing various network elements/entities and processes in a telecommunications network is provided. A network under test contains network entities which save data to a common database that is associated with processing particular test cases. A server correlates database data from the network under test and compares it to anticipated test case results. A disposition of the test cases is determined. Various elements of the invention interface appropriately, and process accordingly, to accomplish the testing and test result(s) disposition. In addition, the test system provides a means to verify billing records within the telecommunications network. Integrated into the system is logic that captures timepoints associated with critical events in a phone call from a test application perspective (particularly the events important to correct billing) and comparing those timepoints with actual results from the tested network.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1997Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: MCI Communications CorporationInventors: Craig Newman, Brian Badger, Eugene Williams, Chris Fry, Mark Dierbeck
