  • Patent number: 11940150
    Abstract: A combustion chamber assembly includes a through hole on the combustion chamber wall bounded on an outer side of the wall by a hole edge and a combustion chamber shingle having a collar bounding a mixing air hole on the outer side of the wall and protruding with a first collar portion beyond the hole edge on the outer side of the wall. A cooling air opening is formed on an inner circumferential surface of a duct portion of the mixing air hole adjoining the first collar portion and extending in the direction of a combustion space, the cooling air opening leading into a cooling air duct which extends through the duct portion and via which cooling air is guided out of the mixing air hole in a direction of a hot side of the shingle facing the combustion space.

  • Patent number: 8716887
    Abstract: An electrical system includes at least one power port and at least one monitoring and control device that is coupled to the power port. The monitoring and control device includes a load control module configured to control an amount of electrical power transmitted to at least one electrical load. The load control module is further configured to receive a power control command from a power system and to transmit a power control acknowledgement to the power system.

  • Patent number: 8656492
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for network intrusion detection are provided. A device configured to facilitate network intrusion detection may include at least one memory and at least one processor. The at least one memory may be configured to store computer-executable instructions. The at least one processor may be configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to (i) identify a communication, the communication comprising one of (a) a communication received by the device or (b) a communication generated by the device; (ii) identify a type associated with the communication; (iii) determine, based at least in part upon the identified type, a list of acceptable content for the communication; (iv) analyze, based at least in part upon the determined list, the content of the communication; and (v) determine, based at least in part upon the analysis, whether the content is acceptable content.

  • Publication number: 20120297483
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for network intrusion detection are provided. A device may include at least one memory and at least one processor. The at least one memory may be configured to store computer-executable instructions that facilitate traffic inspection of communications received by the device. The at least one processor may be configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to (i) identify a communications interface associated with at least one received communication; (ii) determine one or more network traffic parameters associated with a network traffic profile for the communications interface; (iii) evaluate, based at least in part upon the one or more network traffic parameters, the at least one communication received by the device; and (iv) determine, based at least in part upon the evaluation, whether the at least one communication satisfies the traffic profile.
