Patent number: 9180757Abstract: A modular upper-door assembly including a standard geometric corner component and a standard geometric B-pillar component for all vehicle model doors. Each header, belt and window-track has a different length and bend geometry for each vehicle model door while each respective component shares a standard geometric cross-section. All headers may connect to the corner component and B-pillar component in the same locations for each vehicle model door. All belts may connect to the corner component in the same location for each vehicle model door, but the attachment location on the B-pillar may vary from vehicle to vehicle. A stationary-glass or mirror-sail may also be overmolded into the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Mathias A. Huber, David Arthur Wade, Paul Elia

Publication number: 20140273786Abstract: An active pressure relief system for a vehicle cabin in response to a cabin-door closure. An air-extractor may be configured to open when a cabin-door is opened, and remain open until the last of a number of cabin-doors are closed. The air-extractor allows for the increased pressure resulting from the cabin-door closure to be equalized with the external environment through the air-extractor. After the last of a number of cabin-doors are closed, the air-extractor closes to inhibit noise and external elements from entering the cabin through the air-extractor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: David Arthur Wade, Paul Elia, James Antime Marleau, Paul Repp, Richard E.

Patent number: 7839847Abstract: A system receives a packet at a router, and pushes a label onto a label stack. The label stack is associated with the packet. The system provides a forwarding record containing label bindings for the router, and transmits the forwarding record to a collector. A system receives a forwarding record from a router. The system compares a first record entry type of the forwarding record with a second record entry type of the forwarding record to determine the traffic flow in the network. The system then maps the traffic flow in the network, based on a result of the comparing.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2006Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Thomas D. Nadeau, Sumit Mukhopadhyay, Stephen Paul Elias, Adrien Michael Grise

Patent number: 7609729Abstract: Telecommunication equipment includes a TDM interface operable to receive STS-n data, and a packet interface operable to receive packet/cell data and filling a STS-MC payload with the packet/cell data. An n×n cross-connect is coupled to the TDM interface and operable to switch and assign the STS-n data to any one of n STS-1 time slots. A multiplexer is coupled to the cross-connect and the packet interface and operable to combine the switched STS-n data and the STS-MC packet/cell data into an STS-N payload for transport, where N is the sum of n and M.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Paul Elias

Publication number: 20070022331Abstract: A single-ended Ethernet management system and method are provided. The system enables a user to provision and monitor an Ethernet interface, as well as to detect and isolate faults, from a single end. The method may be executed on the system to provide Ethernet services from a first end to a second end. After the Ethernet service is established, the method monitors the service from the first end to detect an occurrence of a fault and to identify service degradation issues. If a fault occurs, the method automatically executes a fault isolation procedure to isolate a location of the fault between the first and second ends. In addition, the method may categorize one or more potential causes for the fault based on fault location or type.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2003Publication date: January 25, 2007Applicant: Covaro Networks, Inc.Inventors: Ross Jamieson, John Weeks, Paul Elias, Michael Mezeul, Wayne Sankey, Hamid Rezaie, James Buchanan

Patent number: 7118150Abstract: A storage compartment is formed on the lateral side of a pick-up truck to have a door that will open to a generally horizontal position to permit use thereof as a step to facilitate access to the interior of the cargo bed. The storage compartment door is pivotally supported by a pivot mechanism that is supported from the underside of the pick up box to provide sufficient support thereof to withstand the weight of a person utilizing the door as a step. The door is also provided with supplemental support members interconnecting the door and the underside of the pick up box. When closed, the door conceals the pivot mechanism to provide a smooth, clean line on the exterior surface of the truck. The opened door allows access to a storage compartment that preferably extends beneath a portion of the cargo bed to allow storage of small items in a contained compartment.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Stephen Bruford, Paul Elia, John Reed, Tyler Blake
