Patent number: 11811596Abstract: Methods and systems for managing network provisioning for far edge devices are disclosed. New devices may be onboarded to a network at the far edge to provide computer-implemented services. Upon delivery to the far edge, the new devices may lack IP network configuration, which may be required to obtain provisioning data used to complete the onboarding process. That is, the new devices may be unable to access provisioning data until IP-based communications are established with a provisioning server. However, IP network configuration of the new devices may fail (e.g., when local DHCP servers fail to provide network configuration information), preventing initiation of the onboarding process. Thus, a remote service console may be implemented to automate network provisioning (e.g., when DHCP methods fail). The service console may be hosted by a service device and may provide the IP configuration information to new devices automatically, without user input and/or intervention.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Eric Joseph Bruno, Bradley K. Goodman

Patent number: 10377420Abstract: An off-center impact reinforcement structure includes a push arm proximate rearward of a front portion of the vehicle frame. The push arm extends in a forward and laterally outboard direction from a front side member. A rear surface of the push arm is located below the first side member. During an initial stage of an off-center impact event in which a stationary barrier directly impacts a front surface of the push arm, impacting forces from the off-center impact event move the rear surface of the push arm into contact with brackets that extend downward from the front side member and transfer through the push arm to brackets and to the vehicle frame. In a second stage, a rear surface of the push arm contacts the vehicle frame as the push arm pivots with the front surface of the push arm moving in a laterally outboard direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Kazunori Iimi, Takemi Nishikawa, Takao Tani, Hideo Aimoto, Naoki Kamizawa, Christopher Robert Hartley, Patrick Dean Grattan, Joseph Bruno Buratto, Perry McConnell, David James Wozniak, Michael James McGory, Gunnar Mason, Matthew Michael Gapinski

Patent number: 10150509Abstract: A vehicle structure includes a frame and a diagonal structure. The frame has a first side member, a second side member and a cross-member that extends in a vehicle lateral direction between the first and second side members. The cross-member is perpendicular to the first and second side members. The diagonal structure has a beam with a rear end that extends to an area of the second side member rearward of the cross-member. An angle of between 35 and 60 degrees is defined between the cross-member and the beam of the diagonal structure. The rear end of the beam is supported to the second side member by a rear attachment bracket such that the rear end of the beam is spaced apart from the second side member with a rear gap being defined between the rear end of the beam and the second side member.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Perry McConnell, Christopher Robert Hartley, Patrick Dean Grattan, Joseph Bruno Buratto, Michael James McGory

Patent number: 10093357Abstract: A vehicle structure includes a vehicle frame and a push arm. The vehicle frame includes surfaces that define an intersection of a first side member and a first cross-member. The surfaces extend from the first side member to the first cross-member with an upper surface of a mid-section of the first cross-member being vertically spaced apart from an upper surface of the first side member. The push arm is coupled to the vehicle frame proximate the intersection. A rear surface of the push arm faces and is adjacent to a front area of the intersection. A main body of the push arm extends forward and laterally outboard from the rear surface such that the front surface is located laterally outboard of the first side member.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Bruno Buratto, Christopher Robert Hartley, Perry McConnell

Patent number: 10093358Abstract: A front suspension structure has a front portion on a first side member of a vehicle frame and a rear portion on the first side member rearward of the front portion. A front wheel is supported by a wheel support structure that is pivotally mounted to a front suspension structure of the first side member. A stop structure is installed to the first side member at the rear portion of the front suspension structure. The stop structure extends in an outboard direction of the first side member. The stop structure has a stop surface that defines an angle relative to the vehicle longitudinal direction between 110 and 130 degrees. In response to an impact event to a front area of the front wheel, the front wheel pivots relative to the wheel support structure moving a rear area of the front wheel into contact with the stop surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Takao Tani, Takemi Nishikawa, Kazunori Iimi, Hideo Aimoto, Naoki Kamizawa, Joseph Bruno Buratto, Perry McConnell, Michael James McGory

Publication number: 20180118267Abstract: An off-center impact reinforcement structure includes a push arm and a first diagonals structure installed to elements of a frame of a vehicle structure. The push arm is coupled to the frame proximate an intersection of a first side member and a first cross-member and extends in a forward and laterally outboard direction from the intersection. The first diagonal structure extends rearward and laterally inboard from proximate the intersection toward a section of a second side member rearward of the first cross-member. The off-center impact reinforcement structure is configured such that during an off-center impact event in which a stationary barrier impacts against a front surface of the push arm during forward movement of the vehicle frame, impacting forces from the impact event are transferred through the push arm to the vehicle frame at the intersection and from the intersection to the first diagonal structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Kazunori IIMI, Takemi NISHIKAWA, Takao TANI, Hideo AIMOTO, Naoki KAMIZAWA, Christopher Robert HARTLEY, Patrick Dean GRATTAN, Joseph Bruno BURATTO, Perry MCCONNELL, David James WOZNIAK, Michael James MCGORY, Gunnar MASON, Matthew Michael GAPINSKI
