Abstract: An apparatus for an antenna assembly, which can be used for a mobile application such as on an aircraft, can include a housing defining an interior. A first antenna, such as a WAAS GPS antenna, can mount within the interior to operate at a first frequency. A second antenna, such as an L-band monopole antenna, can mount within the interior of the housing. A trap coupled to the second antenna can be tuned to the first frequency to prevent signal loss caused by the second antenna.

Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a circularly polarized antenna housing configured to mount to a mounting surface. The antenna assembly also includes a vertical antenna housing having a first end proximate to the circularly polarized antenna housing, as well as a distal end extending normally from the circularly polarized antenna housing.

Abstract: Non-disruptive server replacement for session-based clients. An embodiment of a method includes establishing a first session between a first storage server and a client, the first storage server comprising a data component coupled to a data storage, a network component, and a session data structure in the network component for the first session. Transferring an operation of the first storage server to a second storage server during the first session with the client, wherein the second storage server is a replacement storage server for the first storage server.

Abstract: Non-disruptive server replacement for session-based clients. An embodiment of a method includes establishment of a session between a storage server and a client, with the storage server including a session data structure for the session, and transferring an operation of the storage server to a replacement storage server. Transferring the operation of the storage server includes generating an image the session data structure and placing the image in the replacement storage server, transferring operation of the session data structure in the storage server to the image of the session data structure in the replacement storage server, and transferring a network address of the storage server to the replacement storage server.

Abstract: A method compensates for phase differences between sampled values of first and second AC waveforms. The method employs a phase angle compensation factor and sequentially samples a plurality of values of each of the waveforms. For a positive compensation factor, second sampled values are adjusted to correspond with first sampled values by employing, for a corresponding second sampled value, a preceding second sampled value plus the product of: (i) the compensation factor and (ii) the difference between the corresponding second sampled value and the preceding second sampled value. Alternatively, for a negative compensation factor, the second sampled values are adjusted by employing, for the corresponding second sampled value, the preceding second sampled value minus the product of: (i) the sum of one plus the compensation factor and (ii) the difference between the preceding second sampled value and the second sampled value preceding the preceding second sampled value.

Abstract: A method of interconnecting a new node into a cluster of other nodes. The new node broadcasts a configuration (DP) packet describing itself to the other nodes of the cluster. The other nodes then respond by setting up communications information enabling the new node to directly communicate with a monitor process in the responding nodes and sending that information (DI packet) to the new node. The new node then sets up information enabling the responding nodes to communicate with a monitor process on the new node and sends that information (DC packet) to the responding nodes. The responding nodes then acknowledge the information (DA packet) and the new node is then interconnected with the responding nodes. The DP and DI packets are sent via a permissive interrupt mechanism, received by each processor unit making up a node and forwarded to the monitor process of the node.

Abstract: Dynamic thresholds statistically derived are used to define normal conditions at a specific site in an electric power distribution system. High and low and/or caution and alarm thresholds for various parameters are generated as multiples of the standard deviation of the long-term average of measured values calculated from samples gathered over repetitive intervals, such as ten minutes. Weekly averages are used until sufficient data has been gathered to maintain a running one year average.

Abstract: A composite power quality indication generated from user weighted statistical contributions of selected system parameters provides an overall indication of power quality in an electric power distribution system. The user defined weightings are maintained over time by continually updating sensitivities that normalize the component contributions to the composite power quality indication. The current composite power quality indication is displayed in relation to its long-term mean and to dynamic thresholds determined as multiples of the standard deviation of the long-term mean.

Abstract: A meter for power lines includes first input channels having AC signals with DC values of about zero. A second input channel has an analog output with a predetermined non-zero DC bias value. Plural biasing and scaling circuits input the AC signals and output corresponding analog outputs. Plural analog-to-digital converters input the corresponding analog outputs and output corresponding digital values. A serial output circuit serially communicates the corresponding digital values for a first set of A/D conversions before serially communicating digital values for a subsequent second set of conversions without providing any synchronization of the corresponding digital values for both the first and second sets of conversions. A serial input circuit serially receives the serially communicated digital values and saves the same in a memory. A processor averages the digital values for the channels and determines whether only the average associated with the second channel has the DC bias value.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus, such as a meter, includes an enclosure having a first housing portion with an opening and a second front plate portion. Meter circuitry is mounted within the enclosure. The second front plate portion mates with the first housing portion within the opening and forms an interface joint. The housing and front plate portions are at least substantially co-planar proximate the interface joint and include a plurality of mating crenellations. These mating crenellation, such as serrations, reduce electromagnetic interference radiation to or from the enclosure when the housing and front plate portions are mated together.
