  • Publication number: 20250224953
    Abstract: Technologies for remote firmware updates include a telematics cloud server in communication with multiple telematics devices. The server stores a compressed firmware package and a firmware manifest and firmware components from the firmware package. A telematics device sends a status update to the server and receives an acknowledgment that identifies an available firmware release. The telematics device downloads the firmware manifest, and for each firmware component, determines whether to update the firmware component. The firmware component may be a base install or a differential install. The server may flag the firmware component for a forced install. The telematics device may evaluate a device policy or an advanced rule to determine whether to update the firmware. The telematics device may evaluate a machine learning risk model to determine whether to update the firmware. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7215664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for protection switching. According to the invention the arrangement includes at least one primary and at least one secondary egress switch port, a routing table and a selection table. The method includes: Checking which group identity an ingress flow identity of a data flow is associated with. Checking if a primary or a secondary egress switch port routing address is to be used for said group identity. Switching the data flow to the egress switch port corresponding to the egress switch port routing address that is to be used.

  • Patent number: 5376713
    Abstract: Stable, water-in-oil emulsions are prepared wherein the aqueous phase thereof contains a water-soluble polymer and the oil phase thereof contains a partially esterified lower N,N-dialkanol fatty amine emulsifier by the emulsion polymerization of water-soluble monomers at a ratio of aqueous phase to oil phase of about 2 to 1 to about 3.5 to 1 and a monomer content of at least about 20%, by weight, wherein the polymerization is conducted in the presence of a second emulsifier comprising a non-ionic, reaction product of ethylene oxide and a long chain compound containing a reactive hydroxyl and/or carboxyl group and having an HLB of above 5 but less than 14, the total weight of the emulsifiers comprising about 1-5% of the emulsion wherein the second emulsifier constitutes from about 10 to about 150% of the weight of the fatty amide and contains less than 0.1 weight percent of sorbitan, sorbitol mixtures thereof and derivatives thereof.

  • Patent number: 5298555
    Abstract: A stable, water-in-oil emulsion comprising an aqueous phase containing a water soluble polymer and an oil phase containing a partially esterified lower N,N-dialkanol fatty amine emulsifier, the ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase ranging from about a 2:1 to about 3:5:1 and the polymer content of the emulsion being at least 20%, by weight based on the total weight of the emulsion, wherein said oil phase also contains a second emulsifier comprising a nonionic, reaction product of ethylene oxide and a long chain compound containing a reactive hydroxyl and/or carboxyl group and having an HLB above 5 but less than 14, the total weight of the emulsifiers comprises about 1-5% of the emulsion, and the second emulsifier constitutes from about 10 to 150% of the weight of the fatty amide and contains less than 0.1 weight percent of sorbitan, sorbitol, mixture thereof and derivatives thereof.
