Patent number: 11863625Abstract: Technology is disclosed for bridging clouds of computing devices for compute and data storage. The technology can receive a virtual routing table (VRT), wherein the VRT indicates an association with a virtual local area network (VLAN) and defines neighbors for each route wherein at least one neighbor is defined for each of the two different cloud service providers, wherein the route definition creates a private transitive network between the neighbors; receive from a first node a first message destined for a second node; determine that the first message employs the route specified by the VRT; forward the first message to the second node; receive from a third node a second message destined for the second node; determine that the second message does not employ the route specified by the VRT; and fail to forward the second message to the second node.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: John Keith Fullbright, Mark Beaupre, Lee Gates

Patent number: 11542893Abstract: An evaporative emissions control system includes a first vent valve configured to selectively open and close a first vent, a second vent valve configured to selectively open and close a second vent, a fuel level sensor configured to sense a fuel level in the fuel tank, a pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure in the fuel tank, an accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the vehicle, and a controller configured to regulate operation of the first and second vent valves to provide pressure relief for the fuel tank. The controller is programmed to determine if a refueling event is occurring based one signals indicating the fuel level is increasing, the pressure in the fuel tank is increasing, and the vehicle is not moving, and open at least one of the first and second vent valves based on determining the refueling event is occurring.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Max Russell Franklin, Nikhil Nahar, Vaughn Kevin Mills, Mark Beaupre, Matthew Memmer, Steven L.

Publication number: 20220268223Abstract: An evaporative emissions control system configured for use with a vehicle fuel tank includes a purge canister, an accelerometer, first and second vent tubes that terminate at first and second vent openings, a first vent valve, a second vent valve, a vent shut-off assembly and a control module. The accelerometer senses acceleration in an x, y and z axis. The first vent valve is fluidly coupled to the first vent tube. The second vent valve is fluidly coupled to the second vent tube. The vent shutoff assembly selectively opens and closes the first and second valves. The control module estimates a location of liquid fuel based on the sensed acceleration from the accelerometer and determines which vent opening is one of submerged and about to be submerged based on the estimated location of the liquid fuel. The control module closes the vent valve associated with the determined vent opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Nikhil Nahar, Sudeep Motilal Solanki, Max Russell Franklin, Vaughn Kevin Mills, Mark Beaupre, Matthew Memmer, Robert Andrew Dayton
