Abstract: A method includes receiving over a network from one or more seismic sensors a data set characterizing a seismic event generating a seismic wave. Based on the data set, a time of arrival and intensity of the seismic wave at a predetermined location is calculated. The predetermined location has one or more mitigation devices. Whether the intensity of the seismic wave exceeds a predetermined seismic intensity threshold is determined. If the intensity of the seismic wave exceeds the predetermined seismic intensity threshold, the one or more mitigation devices are activated.

Abstract: Techniques for signaling, to a network controller, a connection state of a proxy for use by the network controller to correlate proxied-connections with application pairs for traffic optimization. In some examples, the techniques may include receiving, at a controller of a network, control plane information associated with a proxy that manages a proxied flow through the network. Based on the control plane information, the controller may determine that application traffic is flowing across the proxied flow between a first application and a second application. In this way, based at least in part on a policy associated with at least one of the first application or the second application, the controller may reconfigure a network element of the network for optimizing the application traffic flowing across the proxied flow.

Abstract: Techniques for using application network requirements and/or telemetry information from a first networking technology to enhance operation of a second networking technology and optimize wide area network traffic are described herein. The techniques may include establishing a communication network for use by applications of a scalable application service platform, the communication network including a first networking technology and a second networking technology. In this way, a request to establish a connection for use by an application may be received by the first networking technology. The request may include an indication of a threshold service level of the connection. In response to the request, the first networking technology may determine whether the second networking technology is capable of hosting the connection.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device of a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) receives, from a cloud-native application, contextual data for the cloud-native application that identifies microservices of the cloud-native application. The device translates the contextual data for the cloud-native application into a network policy for traffic in the SD-WAN associated with the cloud-native application. The device applies the network policy to a traffic flow in the SD-WAN between an endpoint and a particular microservice of the cloud-native application.

Abstract: A low-profile trailer jack reduces the height of the jack above the trailer a-frame by over 50% eliminating pickup tailgate interference when lowered by a vehicle operator. This is accomplished using a two-stage concentric lead screw design rather than a single screw as described in prior art. The two-stage design also allows for increased lowering and raising speed of the jack foot by using the first stage, which is a larger outer screw with larger pitch, generating a faster speed when no load is present. The second stage inner screw is engaged when a load is present and a slower speed with greater mechanical advantage is required.

Abstract: A waste viewing disposal container system is described. Embodiments of the waste viewing disposal container system can include a waste viewing disposal container operatively connected to a truckmount carpet cleaner unit. The waste viewing disposal container can be configured to store waste collected by the truckmount carpet cleaner unit for visual inspection of the waste by an operator during use of the truckmount carpet cleaner unit.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a curved planar wingtip for a straight wing and a curved planar wingtip for a swept wing of an aircraft. The curved planar wingtips include a member that extends from the end of the wing in a direction aft of the wing trailing edge while remaining substantially planar with the wing. The curved planar wingtips curve continuously from leading and trailing edges of the wing to form a tip located aft of the wing. Other embodiments of the curved planar wingtip are configured for a horizontal or vertical tail. Yet another embodiment includes a curved wingtip that extends aft of a trailing edge of the wing by a distance greater than the curved wingtip extends above a top surface of the wing.
