  • Patent number: 9032522
    Abstract: The various technologies presented herein relate to the determination of unexpected and/or malicious activity occurring between components communicatively coupled across a backplane. Control data, etc., can be intercepted at a backplane where the backplane facilitates communication between a controller and at least one device in an automation process. During interception of the control data, etc., a copy of the control data can be made, e.g., the original control data can be replicated to generate a copy of the original control data. The original control data can continue on to its destination, while the control data copy can be forwarded to an analyzer system to determine whether the control data contains a data anomaly. The content of the copy of the control data can be compared with a previously captured baseline data content, where the baseline data can be captured for a same operational state as the subsequently captured control data.

  • Patent number: 7896307
    Abstract: A system comprising a stanchion, the stanchion including a pole and a base supporting the pole. A cover adapted to display visible indicia, the cover defining an opening and a discontinuity extending from an exterior boundary of the cover to an interior boundary of the cover, the interior boundary bounding the opening. The discontinuity permits the pole to be positioned within the opening.

  • Publication number: 20100192348
    Abstract: An improved tool for pulling off a rotor of a motor from a shaft or a fan from a shaft, which improved tool is provided with hooked arms that are releasably but securely held at one end in the housing, without the use of retaining clips, so that the arms do not fall off during use or become lost, and so that they do not interfere with the use of the tool when using the securing bolts for pulling off a rotor. The housing of the improved tool of the invention is circular in shape, and in a first version, is provided with a plurality of equally-spaced holes about its circumference, which holes received the hooked ends of the hooked arms, so that various configurations of hooked arms may be provided to best suit the configuration of vanes and type of fan being pulled off a shaft.

  • Patent number: 7768968
    Abstract: A method of optimising real cellular, wireless communication networks comprising the steps of providing location-referenced values of subscriber traffic for area elements; transmitting a reference signal of constant transmission power; providing a cell-referenced value of the power received from the reference signal; providing a model of the communication network having an original model network configuration, and iteratively optimising the model network configuration by accumulating and weighting the subscriber traffic values of the area elements and by locally adjusting the model network configuration, to provide an optimised model network configuration.
