  • Publication number: 20250190222
    Abstract: A system and a method for observable configuration delivery include, for each target tenants of a plurality of target tenants, determining a corresponding last unicast configuration change request (CCR) received; determining a number of previously unbooked unicast CCRs for the plurality of target tenants, a previously unbooked unicast CCR being a last unicast CCR received that has not been booked into a distribution to be submitted to a headend service (HES); booking the previously unbooked unicast CCRs into one or more distributions based on the number of the previously unbooked unicast CCRs and a configured capacity of each distribution of the one or more distributions; and sending the one or more distributions to the HES for sending the booked previously unbooked unicast CCRs to the plurality of target tenants.

  • Publication number: 20250193075
    Abstract: A system and a method for observable configuration delivery include receiving one or more configuration change requests (CCRs); storing the one or more CCRs in a database; signaling configuration send channels of target tenants of a plurality of tenants associated with the one or more CCRs to awaken; sending the one or more CCRs from the database to the target tenants through a headend service (HES); receiving asynchronous status messages from the HES as a result of sending the one or more CCRs; signaling the configuration send channels for a next set of CCRs based on the asynchronous status messages; and sending the next set of CCRs to one or more tenants of the target tenants.

  • Patent number: 10041422
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to characterizing effective vehicle frontal area. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, one or more operating parameters of the vehicle are obtained. Such parameters may be obtained during one or more qualifying periods of time, such as those periods in which an operating parameter or parameters such as speed and/or acceleration are within a range of values. A value that provides an estimate of the vehicle frontal area is then generated based on the one or more operating parameters.

  • Patent number: 9599041
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to estimating the type fuel used by a vehicle. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a type of fuel burned by an engine in a vehicle is estimated by obtaining output parameters of an on board diagnostic (OBD) system of the vehicle. Respective estimates of the fuel type are generated based on the output parameters, using a different fuel type identifying method for each respective estimate, and the fuel type is determined based on the respective estimates.
