  • Publication number: 20230328931
    Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a system includes a heat sink. In embodiments, the heat sink can include, a fin body, having a first face and a second face, one or more fins extending vertically from the fin body, and a clip disposed on one of the first face and/or the second face configured to attach to a heat generating component of a LRU to dissipate heat energy from the heat generating component of the LRU to an ambient environment. In embodiments, the heat generating component can include a bus bar, for example.

  • Patent number: 11323927
    Abstract: A method for determining whether a target cell has experienced interference due to Passive Intermodulation (PIM) distinguished from other forms of interference at cellular network sites during a time window. In one aspect, the method includes defining a set of N time slices and obtaining a first performance metric for each of the N time slices. The method includes selecting a subset of the N time slices using a set of N first performance metrics where the subset of N time slices includes a first time slice. For the first time slice, at least a first data point is determined using a performance metric for the target cell that was collected during the first time slice. The method includes using the first data point and a supervised learning model to determine whether the target cell has experience PIM interference during the time window.

  • Publication number: 20200404923
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to liquid and solid herbicide formulations containing glyphosate and glufosinate salts in high concentrations comprising surfactant compositions. In addition to containing one or more amphoteric surfactants of the trialkyl ammonium propanoate class, the surfactant composition of the present disclosure may include other surfactants and a hydrotrope that combines synergistically with the amphoteric surfactant. The surfactant composition has been shown to be compatible with several glyphosate and glufosinate salts and has promoted stabilization and easy processing of high herbicide concentrations with advantages in the agronomic efficacy of these formulations.

  • Patent number: 8332086
    Abstract: A system for forecasting the outbound workload in a switchyard. The system has a processing entity for which receives information on railcar traffic for handling by the switchyard, wherein the railcar traffic includes railcars that are yet to be switched into classification tracks of the switchyard. For every departure train of two or more departure trains, the processing entity applies logic rules to the information to compute a forecast of railcar traffic that will be available to the departure train for transport out of the switchyard. An output releases data derived from the forecast of railcar traffic, describing the traffic available for each train of the two or more departure trains.

  • Patent number: 8239079
    Abstract: As embodied and broadly described herein the invention includes a system for computing a preferred sequence in which cars in a switching queue of a railway switchyard are to be sequentially switched to classification tracks. The system has a processing entity for determining within a given set of cars at least two possible sequences in which the cars in the set can be switched and applying logic rules for identifying among the sequences a preferred sequence. The system also has an output for releasing data describing the preferred sequence.
