  • Publication number: 20230254213
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing configuration changes to a network are provided. In examples, the configuration rules are received and stored in a staging directory. If the configuration rules are validated, the rules are moved to a running directory. Thereafter a request to make a change to a configuration parameter is received. The request may comprise a configuration change object, and the configuration change object may be stored in the staging directory. The configuration change object may be evaluated against the rule (and other rules of the network), and it may be moved to the running directory only after satisfying all applicable rules. In some examples, applying the rule(s) may include determining whether the configuration change exceeds a network limit on changes of a particular type with a preset time period.

  • Patent number: 9319973
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for supporting wireless access network service request capability in a user equipment (UE) device that is operable in wide area cellular network (WACN) bands as well as in wireless access network bands (e.g., GAN bands and/or UMA bands). The UE device includes capability for gaining Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity with a wireless access network node (e.g., a GAN controller (GANC) or UMA network controller (UNC)). Thereafter, the UE device is operable to initiate a registration request message towards the wireless access network node, wherein the registration request message includes at least one information element pertaining to wireless access network services required by the UE device.

  • Patent number: 9230769
    Abstract: An LER LUWPL source luminaire having a magnetron heat conductingly mounted below a finned heat dissipater with a suspension eye. The magnetron is attached to a microwave transition and a lucent crucible. An imperforate cover extends down from the heat dissipater and is closed by a transparent screen, held by a molding. A generally square shaped molding supports a polished-sheet-metal reflector (having four triangular faces, pyramidally arranged, with a square base embodied by a rim supported on the top of the screen above the molding) extending back to the lucent crucible, with its reflective surfaces obliquely facing both the crucible and the screen for reflection of light from the crucible out of the luminaire via the screen. The faces converge to a virtual apex, on the central axis of the lucent crucible. This axis is coincident with the pyramid's normal axis from the apex to the center of the base.

  • Patent number: 9179475
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming and maintaining an ad hoc mesh network suitable for reliable voice and data communications in underground, industrial and other hazardous environments. This invention includes support for cooperative negotiation of dedicated transmission bandwidth for all fixed network nodes, determination of network time synchronization without a pre-determined time master, discovery and merging of adjacent ad hoc mesh networks, and routing techniques for voice, data and network status packets which react instantaneously to network topology changes. Furthermore this invention provides a reliable communication network for mobile nodes carried by personnel and sensor nodes that are fixed or mobile that supports voice, data and tracking/situation awareness.

  • Patent number: 9159520
    Abstract: A LUWPL luminaire has a housing with a lower transparent closure and a heat dissipating top of cast aluminum. This has a suspension eye. The housing has an upper flange via which it is bolted with the interposition of a seal to a underside rim of the top. Within the rim, the underside is substantially flat, with a magnetron attachment boss and other attachment points. A magnetron is supported by being clamped by a saddle to the attachment boss at the magnetron's anode. The magnetron is fast with a transition box and a crucible support block. A bracket fixed to certain of the attachment points extends down from the top is screwed to the transition box. Thus the LUWPL parts are securely supported below the top.

  • Patent number: 8849299
    Abstract: A method for modulating scanning behavior of a wireless user equipment (UE) device includes determining a geographic area location where the wireless UE device is located and responsive to determining that a radio access technology (RAT) previously available in the geographic area location is not currently available, modifying the frequency of searches for the radio access technology. A corresponding wireless user device is also shown.
