  • Patent number: 11280482
    Abstract: A directionally manipulatable view enhancement apparatus including a fixed base, a rotatable support supported on the fixed base and rotatable about a pan axis, a yoke disposed on and pivotable with respect to the rotatable support about a tilt axis substantially perpendicular to the pan axis, a pan motor that rotates the rotatable support and yoke about the pan axis, a tilt motor that rotates the yoke about the tilt axis, and a first clutch between the rotatable support and the pan motor permitting the rotatable support to rotate relative to the fixed base independently of the pan motor or a second clutch between the yoke and the tilt motor allowing the yoke to rotate relative to the rotatable support independently of the tilt motor. The yoke retains an electrical component and the pan motor and tilt motor are in electrical communication with a controller remote from the fixed base.

  • Publication number: 20220045920
    Abstract: A Metrics Parser Coordinator (MPC) coordinates data sharing between components of a network. A process performed by the MPC may include receiving data from a plurality of input interfaces, parsing the data, filtering the parsed data, storing the filtered data in a metric storage, mapping the filtered data according to the input interfaces, and providing the filtered data stored in the metric storage to the first registered application. Each interface may be defined differently from each other interface, and the filtered data including information requested by a first registered application. The interfaces may include 3rd Generation Partnership Project interfaces, Long Term Evolution interfaces, and custom interfaces. The MPC may further allow applications to register to publish data, subscribe to data, or both.

  • Publication number: 20210314261
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a transport manager system operate to reduce network congestion by detecting one or more data flows in a network, determining, using a candidate flow detection threshold, whether a data flow of the one or more data flows is a candidate flow, the candidate flow detection threshold being based on one or more characteristics of the one or more data flows, and in response to determining that the data flow is the candidate flow, managing the data flow. A consumption rate, a duration, a number of bytes communicated, a throughput, or aggregated characteristics of the one or more data flows may be used to determine the candidate flow detection threshold.
