  • Patent number: 9209440
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for assembling a high voltage battery without exposing an operator to contacts having a voltage greater than a predetermined maximum are presented. A bus bar module has standard compartments equipped with integrated bus bars separated by break compartments without bus bars. The bus bar module can be coupled to a plurality of electrochemical cells to connect the cells in groups having a voltage less than a predetermined maximum Vmax. Compartment lids can be closed to prevent contact with connected posts. A separate non-integrated bus bar can be provided to a break compartment to connect a first group of cells with a second group of cells to form a series of connected cells that can provide a voltage greater than Vmax, to achieve a desired battery voltage. The bus bar module and methods of the invention can protect an operator during battery assembly or service.

  • Patent number: 9188229
    Abstract: The present invention provides a packing yarn that utilizes a non-metal woven reinforcement that provides lateral as well as longitudinal strength while improving the wear characteristics of the yarn material. To increase the support provided by the woven reinforcement, the yarn material and woven reinforcement are folded together such that the woven reinforcement is substantially coextensive with the yarn material in the resulting packing yarn.

  • Patent number: 9191193
    Abstract: A clock synchronization circuit includes a multi-phase clock generator to generate a plurality of delayed clocks, each delayed clock having a unique delay with regard to a source clock. The clock synchronization circuit further includes a selection circuit that selects one of the delayed clocks according to a phase error to form a local clock driven into a local clock path and received at the clock synchronization circuit as a received local clock. The selection circuit determines the phase error by comparing the received local clock to a reference clock.

  • Patent number: 9167322
    Abstract: A packet switch/router including a first stage switch fabric receiving an electrical signal, a mid-stage buffer receiving and storing the electrical signal from the first stage switch fabric, and a second stage switch fabric receiving the electrical signal from the mid-stage buffer. Each switch fabric includes N layers of N×N arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs), and each AWG has ingress ports and egress ports. A wavelength tunable device, such as a tunable laser, communicates with a source ingress port of an AWG and converts the received electrical signal to an optical signal having a wavelength selected for routing a packet from the source ingress port to a target egress port of the arrayed waveguide grating. A photoreceiver, such as a burst-mode photoreceiver, receives the propagated optical signal from the target egress port and converts the optical signal to the electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 9106546
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for communicating congestions that area detected in a communications network. According to the method and apparatus, a first Ethernet frame encapsulating a first PDU is transmitted across an Ethernet network. Congestion in the network is then detected, and an indication of the congestion is inserted in a predetermined header field of the first Ethernet frame. Once the first Ethernet frame is received by an endpoint in the network, the indication of congestion is transferred into a second PDU that is associated with the first PDU. The second PDU is then encapsulated in a second Ethernet frame and transmitted towards the sender of the first PDU.

  • Patent number: 9100388
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented for obtaining authorized access from a terminal to a discovered location server. The methods may include switching from a first network that does not support authenticated access from the terminal to a home location server to a second network that does support authenticated access from the terminal to the home location server. Authenticated access to the home location server may be obtained using the second network. Authorization for the discovered location server may then be obtained from the home location server. The terminal may then switch from the second network back to the first network.
