  • Patent number: 11377996
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an engine block including a cylinder and a muffler assembly configured to receive exhaust gases from the cylinder. The muffler assembly includes a housing defining an interior volume and including an exhaust inlet and an exhaust outlet, and a baffle assembly positioned within the interior volume. The baffle assembly includes a plurality of chambers in fluid communication with each other. The plurality of chambers are in fluid communication with the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet so that the plurality of chambers are configured to cause exhaust gases to be directed through the muffler assembly from the exhaust inlet to the exhaust outlet through four passes in the baffle assembly before exiting through the exhaust outlet.

  • Patent number: 10742816
    Abstract: Information is gathered in real-time from one or more information sources monitored by a contact center. For example, information may be gathered from social media sites and routing hardware in the contact center. The gathered information is about a product and/or service managed by the contact center. The gathered information is analyzed in real-time to determine a potential impact on communications with the contact center. For instance, the gathered information is analyzed to determine how it impacts voice calls in the contact center. The communications with the contact center are routed based on a skill group. In response to determining that there is a potential impact on the communications with the contact center, the system dynamically creates a new skill group and/or modifies the skill group. New communications are then routed to an agent in the new skill group and/or in the modified skill group.

  • Patent number: 10560577
    Abstract: System and method to provide customer feedback in a telephone call between a customer and a contact center, the method comprising: monitoring an audio media stream from the customer in the telephone call, detecting a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) feedback code within the monitored media stream, and assigning a feedback rating from the detected feedback code.

  • Patent number: 9686292
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring, modeling and assessing networked devices. A continuous device profiling (CDP) system builds and maintains device-specific and network-specific behavioral models based on observation of network traffic. The behavioral models may be used for network management, detecting misconfigured or malware infected devices, performing network asset inventory, network access control, network discovery in support of network integration, and information security incident response management. CDP models and monitors the active roles that devices assume on the network based on a set of matching profiles, monitors transitions between roles, and triggers corrective action when role transitions violate the policies of the network.

  • Patent number: 8238865
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system for calibrating the image rejection of a receiver include an image-rejection correction circuit that modifies the gain and phase of a first channel of a baseband image signal. The image-rejection correction circuit may include a summing circuit and first and second variable-gain elements. In one implementation, a filter receives a corrected first channel from the image-rejection correction circuit and an unmodified second channel of the image signal, while a controller analyzes power measured at the output of the filter, and adjusts the variable-gain elements to reduce the power of the image signal.
