  • Publication number: 20250382024
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wheel which is adapted to be rotatably mounted on an axle. The wheel comprises a central hub, a rim which circumscribes the central hub, and a plurality of spokes which extend between and connect the central hub and the rim. The central hub, the rim, and the plurality of spokes are integrally formed as a single, unitary piece. The central hub comprises an axle bore and a lubricant reservoir. The axle bore is adapted to receive the axle for rotatably mounting the wheel thereto. The lubricant reservoir is formed within the central hub and includes an opening which opens into the axle bore. As the wheel rotates, the lubricant flows through the opening into the axle bore and lubricates the axle. Preferably, the central hub includes agitating fins located within the lubricant reservoir which agitate and circulate the lubricant as the wheel rotates.

  • Publication number: 20250382025
    Abstract: A continuous track can comprise a frame, a pivot arm pivotably secured to the frame, one or more idler wheels rotatably secured to the pivot arm, one or more rollers rotatably secured to the frame, an endless belt circumscribing and entrained around the rollers and the idler wheels, and a spring tensioner mechanism coupled between the pivot arm and the frame. The spring tensioner mechanism can comprise a U-shaped bracket pivotably secured to the pivot arm, a retaining rod secured to and extending from the U-shaped bracket, and a spring which is received over the retaining rod and is coupled between the U-shaped bracket and the frame. The retaining rod is adapted to support and prevent the spring from deflecting or buckling, and the U-shaped bracket is adapted to pivot in response to a spring force generated by the spring for automatically aligning the retaining rod coaxially with the spring.

  • Patent number: 12155549
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

  • Patent number: 12118048
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for accepting and servicing interface agnostic validated unified platform queries. A request for shared data associated with web applications received from a user interface that is rendered by a client based on a specification is intercepted. The request is forwarded to a unified application programming interface (API) instead of a disparate unique API associated with the web applications. The request from the client is authenticated externally using the unified API and the request for the shared data is authorized to be displayed in the user interface based on the unified API instead of the specification.
