Publication number: 20230169429Abstract: A repurposing system tracks tracking demand information associated with various types of used hardware components and also tracks characteristics of hardware inventory in use at one or more facilities. The tracked characteristics of the hardware inventory are used to generate a forecasted supply of used hardware components expected to arrive at a repurposing facility, and the tracked demand information is used to determine a collection of route options available to each used hardware component in the forecasted supply. A carbon equivalent savings is computed in association with each route option available to each hardware component and used to dynamically select one of the available route options for each hardware component.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Aleksandr BITIUKOV, Cheng-Che WU, Gregory L. WEBER, Ranganathan SRIKANTH, Robert Aron DROLLINGER, Daniel Stephen BUDIMIR, David BEYER, Kesava VISWANATHAN, Ashley DESIONGCO

Publication number: 20070127528Abstract: Apparatus, and associated method, by which to synchronize nodes in a wireless mesh network, such as a fixed broadband network or a moving ad-hoc mesh network. Time stamps are added to data packets at a reference node defined pursuant to a pseudo hierarchy. The data packets are communicated by the reference node to a receiving node. The time stamp information is extracted therefrom, to provide an indication of a time reference value from which the time stamp information is formed. Registers are maintained at the nodes with updated values of the timing information, used in time synchronization between the nodes of the mesh network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2007Publication date: June 7, 2007Inventors: David Beyer, Jori Arrakoski, Mika Kasslin

Patent number: 7184413Abstract: A communication protocol that provides link-level and media access control (MAC) level functions for wireless (e.g., ad-hoc) networks and is robust to mobility or other dynamics, and for scaling to dense networks. In a mobile or otherwise dynamic network, any control-packet collisions will be only temporary and fair. In a dense network, the network performance degrades gracefully, ensuring that only a certain percentage of the common channel is consumed with control packets. The integrated protocol allows packets (e.g., data scheduling control packets) to be scheduled in a collision-free and predictable manner (known to all neighbors), multicast packets can be reliably scheduled, as well as streams of delay- or delay-jitter-sensitive traffic. Further, using an optional network code, the scheduling of control packets can appear to observers to be randomized.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1999Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Nokia Inc.Inventors: David A. Beyer, J. Joaquin Garcia-Luna-Aceves, Chane L. Fullmer

Patent number: 4949820Abstract: A vehicle creep control system which has: a speed transducer arrangement coupled to the vehicle's speedometer cable or the like, which provides an active output whenever the vehicle stops; an accelerator switch connected to the accelerator pedal, which has an active output whenever the driver's foot depresses the accelerator pedal; a latching circuit with a set input connected to the speed transducer arrangement and a clear input connected to the accelerator switch; a first delay circuit connected to the output of the latching circuit, such that when the latching circuit is set due to the vehicle slowing down to the given low speed value, a first set signal is connected to the delay circuit, which in turn produces a delayed output, after a given first delay time, so that the brakes are actuated and hold the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1989Date of Patent: August 21, 1990Assignee: William G.
