Patent number: 10173504Abstract: A sliding/folding soft top assembly having opposing first and second linkage assemblies with a plurality of guide rollers located within a first and second guide track for selectively moving the soft top assembly between a deployed position to a first stowed position or a retracted stowed position. A first bow and second bow are coupled to each of the first and second linkage assemblies, which include a first pivot joint for rotating the first bow to the first stowed position. A rear pivot joint allows a rear link of the first and second linkage assemblies to rotate in an area where the first and second guide tracks curve. A third bow is rotatably connected to first and second pivot brackets, and a fourth bow is pivotably connected to the third bow, to allow rotation of the third and fourth bow between the deployed position and retracted stowed position.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Bestop, Inc.Inventors: Stephen John Lewis, Florin Avram

Patent number: 7359325Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for inserting empty memory cells into a data flow of network connections of a computer network. In one example, the method includes receiving an insertion request for an empty memory cell to be inserted into the data flow. A base connection identification (CID) associated with the insertion request is also received. An appropriate insertion scheme for carrying out the insertion request is determined. Based on the appropriate insertion scheme, the insertion request is sent to an insertion device that is configured to insert the empty memory cell into the data flow. The memory cell is inserted prior to traffic shaping of the data flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Network Equipment Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen John Lewis, Nils Ramon Marchant, Mike Reynolds
