Abstract: A method and system facilitate communication between a constellation of satellites and a mobile platform-mounted mobile communicator. The method and system may include the use of a first antenna suited for operation using a first frequency band in a first geographic region and a second antenna suited for operation using either the first or a second frequency band in a second geographic region. The method and system may use a controller to determine which antenna to activate based on one or more of a geographic indicator or a signal indicator. The system used by the method to facilitate the communication may have one or more enclosures over the antennas and controller for mounting to a mobile platform.

Abstract: An ultrasonic filtration device may be incorporated into or otherwise installed in an extractor hood in a cooking environment. The ultrasonic filtration device aids in the elimination and/or reduction of contaminants in the air produced as a byproduct of cooking. Particulate contaminants are bombarded with high-energy pressure waves, thereby breaking up the particulates and reducing their size until they are no longer noticeable and/or hazardous to the user.

Abstract: Interaction data between entities responsible for services in an information technology environment are collected. The interaction data includes communications between the entities where at least some of the entities represent respective persons, teams, or organizations of people. A relationship network graph based is constructed on the interaction data. The nodes of the relationship network graph represent the entities and the edges of the relationship network graph represent interactions between the entities. Dependencies between the services are identified by traversing the relationship network graph.

Abstract: Dependencies between services are determined based on the relationships between entities responsible for the services. The relationships are found based on past interactions between the entities. A relationship network graph having nodes representing entities and edges is built representing interactions between respective entities. The relationship network graph is analyzed to identify pairs of nodes having a relationship based on an evaluation between edge paths between the pairs of nodes compared to edge paths between other pairs of nodes. Associations are built between services owned by entities represented by the nodes of a pair of nodes identifying that nodes are dependent on one another.

Abstract: Antennas used aboard vehicles to communicate with satellites or ground stations may have complex antenna patterns, which may vary as the vehicle moves throughout a given coverage area. Techniques are disclosed for dynamically adjusting the instantaneous power fed to an antenna system to ensure that the antenna transmits at the regulatory or coordinated effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) spectral limit. The antenna may transmit, in accordance with vehicle location and attitude, steerable beam patterns at different scan and skew angle combinations, causing variations in antenna gain and fluctuations in the transmitted EIRP. Using on-board navigational data, an antenna gain and ESD limit may be calculated for a particular scan and skew angle, which may be used to adjust power fed to the antenna such that the antenna transmits substantially at maximum allowable EIRP as the steerable beam pattern is adjusted.

Abstract: A network monitoring system (100) implements a variety of shared services that aggregate knowledge acquired in connection with multiple client networks and securely leverage such knowledge in monitoring networks of individual clients or entities. The system (100) generally includes a client network (110), a security intelligence platform (SIP) (120), a shared services utility (130), and a browser platform (140) running an application (142). The client network (110) provides a data signal (150), for example, a stream of logs and other structured or unstructured data to the SIP (120) which monitors the client network (110) based on the signal (150) and provides dashboard network information, generates alarms, and provides reports and other processed data as outputs. Such monitoring leverages various shared services of platform (130) including curated content (136) that is sourced from client networks and verified by the system (100).
