  • Patent number: 10443632
    Abstract: A vehicle comprising a hydraulic fluid reservoir, a hydraulic fluid pump, a hydraulic filter, a sensor, and a vehicle control unit. The hydraulic fluid reservoir may have a bottom portion filled with hydraulic fluid and a top portion filled with air. The hydraulic fluid pump may be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic fluid reservoir so as to draw hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid reservoir. The hydraulic filter may be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic fluid reservoir so as to filter debris from the hydraulic fluid entering the hydraulic fluid reservoir. The sensor may be in communication with the vehicle control unit where the sensor is configured to measure a variable indicative of a failure status of the hydraulic filter and communicate the variable to the vehicle control unit.

  • Patent number: 10148727
    Abstract: Described herein is an end-to-end solution (i.e., capable of constructing a content delivery network all the way from an origin server to end user devices) which provides a managerial overview to what has been a very disjoint build-out of networks. In the past, networks have evolved to serve particular needs, as opposed to being architected from a strategic view. What this does is to allow someone (e.g., content provider, network operator, etc.) to impose a strategy over those networks. Rather than having to construct solutions that deliver a particular kind of content, a particular security requirement, a particular latency requirement, etc., one can simply provision particular types of nodes as needed when needed.

  • Patent number: 10091111
    Abstract: A network infrastructure provisioned according to design information received via a web portal contains one or more nodes and facilitates deployment of services and associated data across physical and virtualized resources for a content delivery path between a content source and a content consumer according to technical and business needs of a content provider. Provisioning is accomplished by storing the design information in one or more repositories, the repositories containing data, packaging information and metadata of the one or more nodes, and one or more map files specifying the respective addresses of the one or more nodes. The network infrastructure is instantiated based on the design information stored in the one or more repositories and the one or more map files by configuring the nodes according to the design information and communicatively coupling the nodes with one another; and registering the instantiated nodes with a global software load balancer.

  • Publication number: 20170032412
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques to combat ad fraud, in which a client device is determined to be trustworthy or not trustworthy, and ads from an ad server are only provided to a client device that is determined to be trustworthy. As a result, client devices that have been infected with malware and ordinarily would have performed various forms of ad fraud (e.g., ad stacking, click fraud) receive no ads and are precluded from performing ad fraud. A proxy device within an ISP network may monitor all network traffic to and from the client device. Information useful in determining the trustworthiness of client device may be collected from the proxy device by an analysis server, which may use various indicators of trust in order to ascertain the trustworthiness of the client device.

  • Patent number: 8775035
    Abstract: A hydraulic management system and method are provided that account for auxiliary work tool usage. The hydraulic management system automatically calculates an effective use time of a hydraulic element, such as a hydraulic fluid or hydraulic filters, by multiplying work tool usage by a desired gain factor, where the gain factor may exceed 1 for auxiliary work tools.

  • Patent number: 5976348
    Abstract: Soils are decontaminated in situ by transporting peroxysulfate ions through the soil under the influence of an electric field. The electric field is maintained between one or more anodes and one or more cathodes inserted directly into the contaminated soil and geometrically disposed relative one to the other to take full advantage of a positively biased DC voltage applied between said one or more anodes and one or more cathodes. An aqueous solution of a strong oxidant, either peroxymonosulfate or peroxydisulfate, is added to the contaminated soil. The electric field induces the movement of peroxysulfate ions principally by electromigration and to a lesser extent by electroosmosis. Organic contaminants in the soil are oxidized by the peroxysulfate ions. For very recalcitrant contaminants, electric field-induced heating of the soil produces sulfate radical anions. In most cases the peroxysulfate ions or sulfate radical anions oxidize the contaminants to carbon dioxide and mineral acids.
