  • Patent number: 11976730
    Abstract: Systems and assemblies are provided for sealing an interface between a cylinder and a manifold corresponding to the cylinder. The cylinder comprises at least one port. A manifold interface is arranged adjacent to the at least one port. A seal is located inside of a circumferential pocket, wherein the circumferential pocket comprises at least a portion of the manifold interface. A spring is configured to preload the seal radially inward so that the seal stays in contact with the outer surface of the cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20240075835
    Abstract: A pedestal base may include a skid base and a cover. The skid base may define an opening. The skid base may interface with a cable management system (CMS) via the opening. The cover may mechanically interface with an electric vehicle (EV) charger. The cover may also mechanically interface with the skid base. The skid base and the cover may define a volume. The skid base and the cover, when mechanically interfaced, may permit a cable to extend between the CMS and the EV charger and to extend through the opening and the volume.

  • Publication number: 20240075834
    Abstract: A pedestal base may include a skid base and a riser. The skid base may define a cable management system (CMS) opening and a base opening. The skid base may interface with a CMS via the CMS opening. The riser may define a riser opening. The riser may include a sidewall. The sidewall may mechanically interface with an electric vehicle (EV) charger. The riser may mechanically interface with the skid base to position the riser opening proximate the base opening. The skid base and the riser, when mechanically interfaced, may permit a cable to extend between the CMS and the EV charger and to extend through the base opening and the riser opening.

  • Patent number: 11089664
    Abstract: An LED driver includes a temperature sensing circuit integrated within its housing. The sensing circuit generates signals corresponding to actual temperature values within the driver housing to a controller. The controller receives programmable temperature derating parameters at least partially related to a light fixture receiving the driver housing, converts the temperature sensor signal into the actual temperature value, and derates the output current in linear fashion according to a transfer function when the actual temperature value falls within the temperature derating parameters. The parameters may include starting and ending temperatures, and an ending current parameter. The temperature sensing circuit may include a voltage divider with a negative thermal coefficient (NTC) device, preferably as the high side resistor.

  • Patent number: 10169425
    Abstract: A method for detecting and locating occurrence in a data stream of any complex string belonging to a predefined complex dictionary is disclosed. A complex string may comprise an arbitrary number of interleaving coherent strings and ambiguous strings. The method comprises a first process for transforming the complex dictionary into a simple structure to enable continuously conducting computationally efficient search, and a second process for examining received data in real time using the simple structure. The method may be implemented as an article of manufacture having a processor-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor, causing the processor to match examined data to an object complex string belonging to the complex dictionary, where the matching process is based on equality to constituent coherent strings, and congruence to ambiguous strings, of the object complex string.

  • Patent number: 10154065
    Abstract: A system for managing computer security policies includes a policy management system that provides computer security policies to container host machines. The policy management system retrieves images of software containers from an image registry and generates computer security policies that are specific for each image. A container host machine informs the policy management system when an image is pulled from the image registry into the container host machine. The policy management system identifies a computer security policy that is applicable to the image and provides the computer security policy to the container host machine. The container host machine can also locally identify the applicable computer security policy from among computer security policies that are received from the policy management system. The container host machine enforces the computer security policy and other currently existing computer security policies.

  • Patent number: 8479294
    Abstract: A computer system for high-availability virtualization environment includes an originating host machine hosting several virtual machines. Anti-malware scanning on a virtual machine may be initiated in the originating host machine. Prior to completion of the anti-malware scanning, the virtual machine may be migrated to another, destination host machine. The anti-malware scanning on the virtual machine may be resumed in the destination host machine based on a scan state of the virtual machine. The anti-malware scanning of the virtual machine may be suspended and scheduled for execution in the destination host machine. A scan cache of the virtual machine may be preserved depending on information from the scan state. For example, the scan cache may be preserved and employed in the destination host machine when the originating and destination host machines use the same scan engine and pattern version.
