  • Patent number: 12273408
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for migrating a computer application from an entity's premises to a web services platform. Data from multiple sources on the entity's premises is gathered and normalized into a common format. The normalized data is used to create a topology of the network on the entity's premises. This topology is analyzed to determine whether a computer application executing on the entity's premises may be migrated to the web service platform.

  • Patent number: 12273667
    Abstract: The techniques described herein are directed to an in-line diagnostic tool of a PON that optically couples a first component of the PON and a second component of the PON. The tool detects incoming optical signals (e.g., of different services) received from the first PON component and passes the optical signals through the tool to the second PON component. The in-line diagnostic tool is configured to detect one or more conditions of the incoming optical signals, the PON, and/or sub-components of the tool, perform one or more diagnostic and/or analytics routines, and generate and transmit a diagnostic signal including information indicative of the detected conditions and/or the results of the diagnostic and/or analytics routines to be transmitted via one or more output interfaces of the in-line diagnostic tool to recipient devices and/or applications.

  • Patent number: 12256518
    Abstract: An enclosure for retaining at least one networking component may include a shell forming first and second chambers and having lower and upper portions, a dielectric fluid adapted to be disposed in the first chamber, an adjustable overflow assembly adapted to be disposed in the first chamber, a mounting mechanism at least partially disposed within the first chamber, a coolant distribution line at least partially disposed within the first chamber, and a coolant circulator at least partially disposed within the shell. The adjustable overflow assembly moves between the lower portion and the upper portion of the shell. The mounting mechanism includes at least one coupling member to retain at least one active networking component. The coolant circulator circulates the dielectric fluid within the first chamber of the shell via the coolant distribution line. The adjustable overflow assembly and mounting mechanism are adapted to be submerged in the dielectric fluid.

  • Publication number: 20250073330
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (“PEDV”), including novel genotypes thereof, all of which are useful in the preparation of vaccines for treating and preventing diseases in swine and other animals. Vaccines provided according to the practice of the invention are effective against multiple swine PEDV genotypes and isolates. Diagnostic and therapeutic polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are also a feature of the present invention, as are infectious clones useful in the propagation of the virus and in the preparation of vaccines. Particularly important aspects of the invention include polynucleotide constructs that replicate in tissue culture and in host swine. The invention also provides for novel full length PEDV genomes that can replicate efficiently in host animals and tissue culture.

  • Patent number: 12244983
    Abstract: A PON system includes both a PON via which optical services are delivered and a wireless network overlaying the PON. The wireless network may be a self-organizing wireless mesh network, and may generally operate as a logical signaling pathway via which information regarding optical states/statuses of PON components and/or related information is delivered from the field to back-end servers of the PON system. Accordingly, the system may include multiple in-common nodes (e.g., OLTs, LMTUs, etc.) which are included in both the PON and the wireless network. Based on optical information received via the wireless network, the servers can localize the physical location of a PON fault to a particular geographical region of multiple regions serviced by the PON (in some cases narrowing the fault's physical location to a particular span, FDH, or optical terminal), and may dispatch a technician directly to the localized physical location to address the fault.

  • Publication number: 20250070879
    Abstract: A coexistence element within a passive optical network (PON) includes a housing having a plurality of input communication ports. Each input communication port is configured to receive, via a separate optical fiber, optical communications each having a wavelength within a particular wavelength band corresponding to a particular optical service. At least one of the input communication ports is configured to receive optical communications having wavelengths within two or more different wavelength bands. The housing also includes an output communication port configured to transmit, via a single optical fiber, the optical communications from each of the plurality of input communication ports.

  • Publication number: 20250063342
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for camouflaging user data. A user device (e.g., a mobile device, a computing device, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, a profile manager configured with a device, etc.) may identify a first data pattern for a first device at a first location and a second data pattern for a second device at a second location. The first data pattern may be modified to indicate an identifier of the second device and an identifier of the second location. A request from the first device for content from a content source may be modified to indicate an identifier of a third device, an identifier of a third location, and/or the like. A data stream may be output that includes the modified first data pattern and the modified request for the content.

  • Patent number: 12224796
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub are presented. An exemplary method may include: responsive to a detection of a disconnection of a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub, the termination unit associated with a first port of a plurality of candidate ports, automatically updating, by one or more processors, a fiber distribution record representative of port availability in the fiber distribution hub such that the fiber distribution record is representative of an association between the termination unit and a second port of the plurality of candidate ports; generating, by the one or more processors and based on the detection of the disconnection of the termination unit, an indication of the second port; and transmitting, by the one or more processors, the indication of the second port to at least one of a computing device or a user interface.

  • Patent number: 12199814
    Abstract: Techniques for augmenting repair of a network failure in a Passive Optical Network (PON) include receiving sensor data at a client device indicating a current environment that includes an optical network terminal (ONT) in a PON. The PON includes an optical line terminal (OLT) optically connected to the ONT via one or more optical fibers. The client device analyzes the current environment to detect a cause of a network failure corresponding to the ONT, and generates a set of instructions for repairing the ONT based on the detected cause of the network failure. Then the client device provides the set of instructions for a user to follow to repair the ONT. The set of instructions are provided as the user repairs the ONT.

  • Publication number: 20250015889
    Abstract: The techniques described within this disclosure are directed to an in-line adaptor or coupling device of a PON that detects incoming optical signals (e.g., of different services) being delivered over the PON on different bands of wavelengths supported by an incoming optical fiber of the PON, converts (if necessary) any optical signals to suitable wavelength signals, and transmits the converted optical signals to a last mile termination unit via suitable output interfaces. At least a portion of the incoming optical signals are not converted by the in-line adaptor, and instead are passed-through the in-line adaptor to the last mile termination unit via an optical output interface. The in-line adaptor further includes one or more wireless interfaces via which information pertaining to the received optical signals and/or other information related to the in-line adaptor is transmitted to one or more recipient devices.
