  • Patent number: 12110107
    Abstract: A rib foot cleat for sealing around a stringer passing through a rib mouse hole in an aircraft assembly. The rib foot cleat has a body for attaching to a rib at a rib mouse hole and defines a cleat channel configured to be arranged over the stringer. The rib foot cleat also has an injection hole through the cleat body which is in fluid communication with the cleat channel, to allow sealant material to be injected through the injection hole in to the cleat channel for sealing around the stringer.

  • Patent number: 12010025
    Abstract: A method is performed by a computing device in a data transport network. The computing device receives congestion-related information corresponding to current conditions of a portion of the network. The computing device determines whether a data transport session has a fair-share protocol. When the data transport session has the fair-share protocol, determining a congestion policy for the data transport session, and applying, using the congestion-related information, the congestion policy to the data transport session.

  • Patent number: 11785442
    Abstract: A process for managing network congestion uses crowd-sourced real-time information about current conditions in a network. The crowd-sourced real-time information may include information on a shared channel, such as a cell of a wireless network, produced by monitoring data sessions in the network and using mapping information that maps IP addresses of the data sessions to cell identifiers to associate measurements of the data sessions with corresponding cells. The measurements corresponding to a cell may be used to create and/or update a congestion profile for the cell, and the congestion profile may be used to select and set parameters of a congestion control algorithm. The congestion control algorithm may include an Initial Congestion Window Algorithm for controlling a congestion window.

  • Patent number: 11729710
    Abstract: A wireless device determines whether a data session is performance sensitive, and in response to the data session being performance sensitive, selects a data transport node (DTN) and performs the data session using the selected DTN. Whether a data session is performance sensitive may be determined using information on a process associated with the data session, by monitoring the data session, or both. The DTN may be selected from a list of available DTNs according to which DTN will probably provide the highest performance for the data session, or according to which DTN or DTNs will probably provide adequate performance. Micro speed tests, historical performance information, or other criteria may be used to predict the performance of the available DTNs. When multiple DTNs satisfy the selection criteria, a “good neighbor” policy may be used to select the DTN.

  • Patent number: 11677665
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a transport manager system operate to reduce network congestion by detecting one or more data flows in a network, determining, using a candidate flow detection threshold, whether a data flow of the one or more data flows is a candidate flow, the candidate flow detection threshold being based on one or more characteristics of the one or more data flows, and in response to determining that the data flow is the candidate flow, managing the data flow. A consumption rate, a duration, a number of bytes communicated, a throughput, or aggregated characteristics of the one or more data flows may be used to determine the candidate flow detection threshold.

  • Patent number: 11665071
    Abstract: A Metrics Parser Coordinator (MPC) coordinates data sharing between components of a network. A process performed by the MPC may include receiving data from a plurality of input interfaces, parsing the data, filtering the parsed data, storing the filtered data in a metric storage, mapping the filtered data according to the input interfaces, and providing the filtered data stored in the metric storage to the first registered application. Each interface may be defined differently from each other interface, and the filtered data including information requested by a first registered application. The interfaces may include 3rd Generation Partnership Project interfaces, Long Term Evolution interfaces, and custom interfaces. The MPC may further allow applications to register to publish data, subscribe to data, or both.

  • Patent number: 11438272
    Abstract: Information regarding current conditions in a RAN or hybrid RAN/WAN are provided at fine geographic and temporal granularities (for example, on a per cell basis every second) using measurements and statistics produced in real time by monitoring a plurality of data sessions carried on the data plane of the network and tagging the measurements from the data sessions with a network location identifier (such as an identifier of a cell) associated with an endpoint of the data session. The information may include a profile for a shared channel (such as a cell) of the network, monitoring statistics for a portion of the network (such as a cell), or both. The information may have application in, for example, automatic network management (such as in congestion control), in automatic network diagnosis, and in network resource management and planning.

  • Patent number: 11329922
    Abstract: Real-time cell performance information for each of cells in a mobile communication network, referred to herein as network topology information, is produced using IP addresses of data sessions in the cells, measured performance of the data sessions, and IP address to cell identifier mappings. The network topology information may be used to determine, in real time, a level of monitoring for each of the cells. The network topology information may be used to determine, in real time, performance of video streams in each cell. The network topology information may be used to determine, in real time, that a cell is experiencing a performance anomaly. Determinations made using the network topology information may be used to configure, maintain, and optimize the performance of the mobile communication network.

  • Patent number: 7556611
    Abstract: An extracorporeal blood processing system having a centrifugal rotor, a control system, a plurality of peristaltic pumps, and a removable tubing circuit wherein blood components can be processed. A pump-balancing process, implemented by the control system, causes selected pumps to fill and empty a reservoir in the tubing circuit. Ratios of displaced volume per pump revolution or other pumping action can be used by the control system to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the donation process. The pump-balancing process may be performed during priming or set-up of the blood processing system or during an actual donation.
