Publication number: 20250260639Abstract: A system and method for managing network communication in an asymmetric network environment. The system includes a gateway. The gateway receives a plurality of packets for transmission over first communication network. The plurality of packets are received via primary network path. The gateway dynamically evaluates the plurality of packets. The gateway classifies the plurality of packets into a latency sensitive packet and a latency agnostic packet. The gateway determines network capacity of the primary network path and a secondary network path. The gateway splits the latency sensitive packet and the latency agnostic packet between the primary network path and the secondary network path. The gateway selects the primary network path for transmitting the latency sensitive packet. The gateway selects the secondary network path for transmitting the latency agnostic packet over downstream transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Applicant: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: Roderick J.

Publication number: 20230356800Abstract: A semi-autonomous, self-balancing, inline wheeled vehicle utilizes one or more of the wheels to establish and maintain the balance of the vehicle, and one or more of the remaining wheels to steer. The vehicle is particularly suited for narrow pathways and may utilize sensing and vision technologies and/or mechanical sensors to discern and safely negotiate a variety of path types. A feature is the ability to discern and negotiate narrow paths and avoid obstacles with little or no input from the user. Paths may be real-world, real-time paths or may take the form of virtual programed paths. Pathways may include roads, hiking trails, delineated bike lanes, as well as tram-paths built upon modified railroad tracks and railbeds. Versions of the vehicle may be network-controlled from external sources, such that convoys of these vehicles may be operated as a single entity. Some aspects of the design, particularly when combined with modified railways or railbeds, may take the form of a bi-directional monorail system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventor: John Dennis PAGE, III

Patent number: 11696990Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide automated circuit disconnection monitoring such as for a respiratory apparatus or system. Disconnection of a patient circuit, including a patient interface and air delivery circuit, may be detected and a message or alarm activated. In some versions, detecting occurrences of circuit disconnection event(s), such as by a processor, may be based on an instantaneous disconnection parameter as a function of a disconnection setting. The disconnection setting may be determined based on patient circuit type. The instantaneous disconnection parameter may be determined from detected pressure and flow rate, and may be, for example, a conductance value or an impedance value. Disconnection events may be qualified by one or more detected respiratory indicators.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Inventors: Dion Charles Chewe Martin, Clancy John Dennis, Benjamin John Leavens, Etienne Veschambre, Stuart Wishart
