  • Patent number: 10116384
    Abstract: Techniques are presented for remote diagnostics and programming of optical pluggable modules (OPMs). A network-enabled programmer receives OPMs in one or more form factors, such as SFP, XFP, and QSFP. The network-enabled programmer retrieves configuration and diagnostic information from coupled OPMs and transmits them to a remote computing device. A technician, operating the remote computing device, can diagnose and reconfigure OPMs from a remote location. This provides an enhanced level of customer support as customers can receive immediate assistance in diagnosis of, and programming of, optical pluggable modules. The configuration can include reconfiguring an optical pluggable module for a new channel and/or platform.

  • Patent number: 9809055
    Abstract: A wheel locking assembly is provided for securing a wheel to a wheel hub of a motor vehicle. That wheel locking assembly includes a locking cylinder and a wheel retainer. The wheel retainer is displaceable by means of the locking cylinder between an unlocked position, allowing removal of the wheel from the wheel hub and a locked position securing the wheel to the wheel hub. A related method for securing a wheel to a wheel hub of a motor vehicle is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9403460
    Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a vehicle seat having a body. The body includes a center portion and four corner portions. A breathable coverstock covers a seating surface of the body. A plenum chamber is disposed below the body and is configured to receive and store a fluid. A cupped nozzle is disposed at each of the center portion and four corner portions. Each cupped nozzle includes a tapered base and a wide mouth proximate the coverstock. Fluid passageways extend through the body and connect the plenum chamber with the tapered base of each of the cupped nozzles. Pressurized fluid from the plenum chamber flows through the passageways to the cupped nozzles to deliver targeted airflow to a seated passenger.
