  • Patent number: 10651558
    Abstract: An omni antenna assembly includes two antennas, a dipole antenna and a monocone antenna, to provide full spherical coverage. The dipole cavity for the dipole antenna forms one solid part with the monocone antenna. The monocone antenna also includes a monocone and a cylindrical shell connecting the dipole cavity to the monocone. A coaxial transition extends from the cylindrical shell to a matching network. The antenna assembly may be fabricated using additive manufacturing technology.

  • Publication number: 20150016302
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for automatically establishing a virtual circuit from one edge device to another through a core network. The virtual circuit may comprise one or more pseudowire segments. These pseudowire segments extend between adjacent edge and core devices within the core network. Pseudowire segments through the core network are automatically stitched together as a setup message is forwarded from a first edge device to a second edge device through the core network. A virtual circuit is established in one direction, and packets are forwarded in an opposite direction. With the present invention, a virtual circuit comprising any number of pseudowire segments, as well as two attachment circuits, may be established in an automatic and efficient manner upon being initiated by the first edge device.

  • Publication number: 20140068868
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a bed linen that is a unified and reversible mattress topper cover and bed cover. A mattress topper cover includes a first sleep surface defining a first peripheral edge, a second sleep surface defining a second peripheral edge, and a gusset extending between the first sleep surface and the second sleep surface along their respective first and second peripheral edges to define a cavity therebetween for receiving a mattress topper. A bed cover includes a skirt affixed at and along substantially the horizontal midline of the gusset for securing to a mattress. The bed linen is reversible by flipping the mattress topper to expose one of the first sleep surface or the second sleep surface and adjusting the skirt in an appropriate direction to cover the mattress.

  • Publication number: 20050078602
    Abstract: Packets in a Per Hop Basis (PHB) are metered by a network element to see if they fall within a Committed Information Rate (CIR) or Committed Burst Size (CBS) for that PHB. Packets that are within the CIR or CBS for the given PHB are marked as in profile. Packets to be output over a given port that are not in profile are metered by a common Surplus Information Rate (SIR) meter, which is used to meter commonly excess packets from all PHBs configured through that port. By using a common SIR meter to meter out of profile packets for all PHBs on a given port, it is possible to allow packets from multiple PHBs to share the surplus bandwidth on a link connected to that port fairly, while not allocating bandwidth to PHBs that do not require surplus bandwidth. Token buckets may be used to implement the meters.
