  • Patent number: 11079283
    Abstract: A method for measuring furnace temperatures. The method includes obtaining radiance measurements from a plurality of regions of interest (ROIs) using a plurality of thermal imaging cameras, and measuring a surface temperature using a radiance measurement obtained from an ROI selected from the plurality of ROIs. Measuring the surface temperature includes determining an effective background radiance affecting the selected ROI using radiance measurements obtained from ROIs different from the selected ROI, obtaining a compensated radiance by removing the effective background radiance from the radiance measurement obtained from the selected ROI, and converting the compensated radiance to the measured surface temperature.

  • Patent number: 11044208
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed, and one includes determining a network resource state, based at least in part on a delay level of the network resource, determining a first priority user demand and a second priority user demand for the network resource, and upon the network resource state meeting a condition, adjusting an allocation of network resource bandwidth to the first priority user and an allocation of network resource bandwidth to the second priority user adjusting. The update of the allocation of network resource bandwidth to the first priority user is based at least in part on a combination of the first priority user demand, the second priority user demand, a first priority user guaranteed bandwidth, and a capacity of the network resource. The update of the allocation of network resource bandwidth to the second priority user is based at least in part on the adjusted allocation of network resource bandwidth to the first priority user.

  • Publication number: 20210168033
    Abstract: A method of switching from a first gateway within a plurality of first gateways to a second gateway in a network includes precaching configuration information on the second gateway, that is within the first gateways, prior to switch-over to the second gateway. The first gateway from which the second gateway is being switched is identified. The second gateway is configured in accordance with the configuration of the first gateway based on the precached configuration information prior to the switch-over to the second gateway. Data traffic from data applications using the network is replicated and sent to the first gateway and the second gateway. Bandwidths allocated to terminals in the network are frozen in association with the switch-over to the second gateway. The bandwidths allocated to the terminals in the network are unfrozen based at least in part on an indication of completion of the switch-over to the second gateway.

  • Publication number: 20210064395
    Abstract: An interface generator 6 generates a user interface for a mobile communication device 2 by providing, at step S2, a menu of functional components to a website owner 5 and receiving an indication of which of the functional components are selected for inclusion in the user interface from the website owner, at step S3. When the interface generator 6 receives a request for the user interface from the mobile communication device 2, at step S7, it delivers the user interface to the mobile communication device, at step S8, for display by the mobile communication device 2. The generated user interface includes the selected functional components and selection of a functional component included in the displayed user interface by a user of the mobile communication device 2 causes the mobile communication device 2 to carry out a task.

  • Patent number: 10884835
    Abstract: A user interface system includes an extraction engine in communication with a managed infrastructure. The extraction engine in operation receives messages from the managed infrastructure and produces events that relate to the managed infrastructure and converts the events into words and subsets used to group the events into clusters that relate to failures or errors in the managed infrastructure includes managed infrastructure physical hardware. The managed infrastructure supports the flow and processing of information. A sigalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine, a k-means clustering engine and a topology proximity engine. The sigalizer engine determines one or more common steps from events and produces clusters relating to events. The sigalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the managed infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 10816487
    Abstract: A system for X-ray topography, the system includes a source assembly, a detector assembly, a filter and a processor. The source assembly is configured to direct at least an X-ray beam to impinge, at an angle, on a first surface of a sample, the X-ray beam is divergent when impinging on the first surface. The detector assembly is configured to detect the X-ray beam that had entered the sample at the first surface, diffracted while passing through the sample and exited the sample at a second surface that is opposite to the first surface, and to produce an electrical signal in response to the detected X-ray beam. The filter is mounted between the source assembly and the first surface, and is configured to attenuate an intensity of a selected spectral portion of the X-ray beam. The processor is configured to detect one or more defects in the sample based on the electrical signal.
