Abstract: Cryocooler health monitoring systems and methods are provided. In one example, a method includes determining, for each setpoint temperature of a plurality of setpoint temperatures, a respective power applied to a cryocooler to set a cold tip of the cryocooler to the setpoint temperature. The method further includes determining a first load line associated with the cold tip based on the plurality of setpoint temperatures and the respective powers applied to the cryocooler. The method further includes determining a health metric associated with the cold tip based on the first load line and a reference load line associated with the cryocooler. Related devices and systems are also provided.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to identification of management information base (MIB) object identifiers (OIDs) supported by a managed device. In example embodiments, a group of MIB OIDs to be tested for support by a managed device is identified. A series of requests including a MIB OID may then be transmitted to the managed device. Finally, MIB OIDs from the group of MIB OIDs to be tested for support that are supported by the managed device may be identified based on responses to the requests received from the managed device.

Abstract: A system for self-monitoring of a data collection function of a network management software executing on a management node. The network management software may be configured to monitor and maintain a computer network, where the self-monitoring data collection module may be configured to retrieve information from remote devices to assess in the maintenance of the network. The self-monitoring data collection module may include a data collection module that may be configured to retrieve information from user-selected remote nodes of a network at scheduled times. The self-monitoring data collection function may also include a self-monitoring module of the network management, which is configured to monitor the data collection module to determine if the data collection module is lagging behind the scheduled data collection. The self-monitoring module may be further configured to determine when the management node is busy collecting data.

Abstract: An automatic lubrication system for a vehicle, comprising a pump assembly having a plurality of outlet ports, a motor operable to drive the pump assembly, and a cartridge that is attachable to the pump assembly to provide a source of lubricant to the pump. The cartridge is removable from the pump assembly and has an interior space that is collapsible as lubricant is dispensed therefrom. A controller is provided to periodically initiate the motor to cause the pump to dispense lubricant to the outlet ports.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a system for a time-bucketing data collection module is disclosed. The time-bucketing data collection module may be configured to retrieve information from remote network devices and to collate (or sort) the retrieved information into time interval bins (or time-buckets) to assist in the maintenance of a network. The sorted information is then utilized by a threshold calculation module of the time bucketing data collection module to calculate a baseline value, defining a normal operating range for a performance parameter, for the time interval. Subsequently, the calculated baseline value is used to calculate a revised threshold value by the threshold calculation module. The revised threshold value is then forwarded to a threshold comparator configured to compare incoming information (or data point values) with the updated thresholds. If the incoming information exceeds an updated threshold, an alarm is generated by an alarm module of the time-bucketing data collection module.
