Patent number: 11888650Abstract: An overlay network is enhanced to provide traffic delivery using anycast and end user mapping. An anycast IP address is associated with sets of forwarding machines positioned in the overlay network. These locations correspond with IP addresses for zero rated billing traffic. In response to receipt at a forwarding machine of a packet, the machine issues an end user mapping request to the mapping mechanism. The mapping request has an IP address associated with the client from which the end user request originates. The mapping mechanism resolves the request and provides a response to the request. The response is an IP address associated with a set of server machines distinct from the forwarding machine. The forwarding machine encapsulates the packet and proxies the connection to the identified server. The server receives the connection, decapsulates the request, and processes the packet. The server machine responds to the requesting client directly.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Igor Lubashev, Elizabeth L. Borowsky, Stephen Hill, Katharine Jenkins, Debabrata Banerjee, Noam Freedman, Marcelo Torres

Patent number: 4055463Abstract: An automatic motion inhibit system for a nuclear power generating system for inhibiting automatic motion of the control elements to change the reactor power in response to turbine load changes. A final reactor power level setpoint is continuously compared with reactor power and a setpoint-greater-than-power signal is generated when the final reactor power level setpoint is greater than the reactor power. The final reactor power level setpoint is a setpoint within the capacity of a steam relief valve system which in no event is lower in value than the lower limit of automatic operation of the automatic motion control means. Also the reactor power demand or turbine load is continuously compared with a predetermined power demand threshold and a demand-less-than-threshold signal is generated when the reactor power demand is less than the demand threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1975Date of Patent: October 25, 1977Assignee: Combustion Engineering, Inc.Inventor: Jose Marcelo Torres

Patent number: 4046625Abstract: An automatic motion inhibit system for a nuclear power generating system for inhibiting automatic motion of the control elements to reduce reactor power in response to a turbine load reduction. The system generates a final reactor power level setpoint signal which is continuously compared with a reactor power signal. The final reactor power level setpoint is a setpoint within the capacity of the bypass valves to bypass steam which in no event is lower in value than the lower limit of automatic control of the reactor. If the final reactor power level setpoint is greater than the reactor power, an inhibit signal is generated to inhibit automatic control of the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1975Date of Patent: September 6, 1977Assignee: Combustion Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Charles Ronald Musick, Jose Marcelo Torres

Patent number: 3997767Abstract: A reactor trip on turbine trip inhibit control system for a nuclear power generating system which utilizes steam bypass valves. The control system inhibits a normally automatic reactor trip on turbine trip when the bypass valves have the capability of bypassing enough steam to prevent reactor trip limits from being reached and/or to prevent opening of the secondary safety pressure valves. The control system generates a bypass valve capability signal which is continuously compared with the reactor power. If the capability is greater than the reactor power, then an inhibit signal is generated which prevents a turbine trip signal from tripping the nuclear reactor.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1975Date of Patent: December 14, 1976Assignee: Combustion Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Jose Marcelo Torres, Charles Ronald Musick
