Abstract: A nozzle box unit forming a component of an anechoic chamber fire suppression system is provided. The nozzle box unit includes a pusher assembly that is configured to dislodge a piece of acoustic material positioned in front of the nozzle box so as to permit discharge of a fire suppressing material from a nozzle mounted inside the nozzle box unit into the anechoic chamber.

Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, the system may include a liquid hydrogen storage tank that is placed on a mobile carriage. From the liquid hydrogen storage tank, a submerged pump feeds low-pressure liquid hydrogen to a second pump that is external to the tank. This second pump then increases the pressure of the liquid hydrogen and feeds the liquid hydrogen to a vaporizer system. The vaporizer system includes coolant, a coolant tank, a load bank, a third pump, and a diffusion bonded compact heat exchanger (DCHE) to transfer heat from the coolant to the liquid hydrogen. To further help heat the coolant, heat exchangers may be included to cool systems of the vehicle and recover waste engine heat. After the vaporizer converts the liquid hydrogen to its gaseous form, the gaseous hydrogen is discharged to an external vehicle or tank.

Abstract: A valve comprising a slidable internal shuttle that is shiftable between a valve closed and a valve open configuration is provided. The valve can be configured so that minimal force is required to effect shifting of the shuttle, even though the valve can be of a large diameter. In the valve closed configuration, the shuttle blocks communication between the valve inlet and outlet. Sliding of the shuttle to the valve open configuration permits fluid to flow through the valve. The shuttle can be configured with internal surfaces that provide some or no biasing forces acting upon the shuttle in the valve closed direction.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to doorstep delivery of services and products, and more particularly to a system and a method for dynamic fleet management for order delivery are provided. Initially, a primary route is assigned to a vehicle from a fleet of vehicles, based on at least one of a known order and a forecasted order. Further, when the vehicle is in transit along the primary route, in response to an input with respect to at least one of a route alteration parameter, one of an alternate route or a corrective action, is determined, and one or more corresponding actions are triggered, which helps with the order delivery.

Abstract: A control device may subscribe to receive data from a network device. The data may be associated with a plurality of packets that have been dropped by the network device and include a first descriptor based on a type of packet drop associated with a packet of the plurality of packets that have been dropped by the network device, and one or more second descriptors based on a packet flow associated with the plurality of packets that have been dropped by the network device. The control device may determine a dropped packet profile associated with the network device, based on the first descriptor and the one or more second descriptors. The control device may generate a first notification based on the dropped packet profile associated with the network device and transmit the first notification to cause an action to be performed based on the first notification.

Abstract: A user-device configured server code trace request that specifies an element identifier of a specified user-device interface element served by a server device and a server code tracing depth specified by a user of a user device is received at the server device from the user device served by the server device. Using the specified element identifier, a granular server code trace of server code scoped to the specified server code tracing depth and scoped to a portion of the server code utilized in association with the specified user-device interface element is performed.

Abstract: Intelligent temperature and pressure gauge assemblies (52) for use with vessels (24) having pressurized hazard suppression materials therein include temperature and pressure sensors (136, 138) coupled with a digital processor (72) with associated memory for storing empirical temperature and pressure data. The data includes normalized linear temperature-pressure curves consistent with static or slowly changing temperature conditions experienced by the vessels (24), as well as nonlinear temperature-pressure curves consistent with rapidly changing temperature conditions. In use, the assemblies (52) repeatedly sense temperature and pressure conditions of the hazard suppression material and compare sensed values with stored values, and generate an output in conformance with the comparison. In this fashion, the assemblies (52) compensate for rapidly changing temperatures without generating false failure signals.
