Publication number: 20220283041Abstract: A temperature exposure indicator includes a reservoir of meltable material having a melting point at an activation threshold of the temperature exposure indicator. The temperature exposure indicator also includes a light scattering material having voids and an indicia overlayed by the light scattering material such that the indicia is initially obscured by the light scattering material prior to the meltable material being exposed to a temperature above the activation threshold. The reservoir is in fluid communication with the light scattering material, such that the meltable material, when exposed to a temperature at or above the activation threshold, is configured to melt and flow into the voids of the light scattering material thereby causing the light scattering material to transition from an obscuring form to a non-obscuring form so that the indicia is viewable through the light scattering material.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: Temptime CorporationInventors: John Olson, Eric W. Liberato, Mohannad Abdo, Steven Feldman

Publication number: 20190215385Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sending packet replication over sets of bonded diverse packet paths with packet merge and deduplication at the bonded packet paths' egress thereby providing reduced packet loss, latency, and jitter while simultaneously providing high availability. Collectively these sets of bonded packet paths conveying replicated packets compose a virtual overlay network spanning diverse paths, and potentially diverse providers, and diverse network technologies. A control system continuously monitors the reachability and quality of synthetic or both synthetic traffic and bonded packet path traffic across all possible paths as input to the control system that dynamically while taking into account path cost manages the sets of bonded packet paths.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2019Publication date: July 11, 2019Applicant: nexVortex, Inc.Inventors: Randall Paul Joseph Ethier, Anatoly Yakovlevich Rodionov, Jordan Steven Feldman
