Publication number: 20190187398Abstract: A flat drop cable has notches or other structures for enhancing the stripability of the jacket from the a core of the flat drop cable. The notches can have an angled configuration with surfaces that converge as the notch extends into the jacket. Inner edges of the notches can be positioned along a tear path that intersects the core of the flat drop cable. For example, the notches can be offset from a minor axis of the flat drop cable a sufficient distance such that the notches are positioned outside a central boundary region that extends tangent to sides of the core and parallel to the minor axis of the flat drop cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2018Publication date: June 20, 2019Applicants: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLC, COMMSCOPE TELECOMMUNICATIONS (SHANGHAI) CO. LTD., COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD., ADC COMMUNICATIONS (AUSTRALIA) PTY LIMITEDInventors: Aly FAHD, Wayne M. KACHMAR, Steven James DICK, Paul David HUBBARD, Wei FU, Dong XU

Patent number: 9279700Abstract: A method for processing daily consumption, demand and time of use meter reads for electric, gas, water and other metered entities. The meter reads are collected by any of the well known Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technologies and loaded into a meter data warehouse. At a minimum daily meter reading, reads that are tagged as Good, Stale, Partial, Incomplete and Missing are required for properly identifying usage patterns, applying rules for error patterns and estimating the reads which will provide quality meter reads to the utilities thereby identifying meter problems before they become billing problems. The overall process involves loading the daily meter reads into a database, comparing each meter read against its previous day's read and applying a set of rules that help in validating, editing and estimating (VEE) of this data. The VEE rules that are applied can be broadly classified into five (5) categories.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Landis+Gyr Analytics, LLCInventors: Venkatesh Ramachandran, David Hubbard, John Skog

Patent number: 8332650Abstract: A password reset disk is created using a private key/public key pair. The private key is stored on a removable computer-readable medium so that it can be removed and securely stored remote from the computer system on which it was created. The public key is stored on the computer system and used to maintain an encrypted copy of the current password to be stored on the computer system. If the user forgets a password, the user may insert the password reset disk into the computer system. The private key is retrieved from the password reset disk and the encrypted password is decrypted using the private key. If the decryption is successful, the user is allowed to set a new password. The password reset disk is effective even if the user password has been changed since the creation of the password reset disk.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2002Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John Banes, George Masters, Glenn D.

Publication number: 20120202396Abstract: Wet suits used by water sports enthusiasts (e.g., surfers) are provided with the ability to be inflated during emergency situations to provide life-saving buoyancy and floatation aid. The inflatable wet suit will preferably include a torso section having a back pocket and a bladder assembly having an inflatable bladder bag and an inflator valve adapted for operative connection with a compressed gas canister positioned within the back pocket. A rip cord has one of its ends connected to the inflator valve and extends over a shoulder region of the torso section so that the other end thereof is graspably positioned adjacent a front portion of the torso section. A canister pouch within the back pocket of the torso section is provided for receiving the gas canister therein. The canister pouch includes a front wall attached to the torso section along side and bottom edges thereof with a top edge being unattached to the torso section so as to define a pouch space with an open upper end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2011Publication date: August 9, 2012Inventors: John David HUBBARD, Patrick Shane Dorian
