  • Publication number: 20240110402
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to pole bases, specifically to light pole base cabinets that can house items. The pole base cabinets can be positioned between a light pole and a footing. The pole base cabinets provide a base to a light pole while adding additional functionality. The cabinets can include a main opening allowing access to a cavity in which items can be stored. Access to the cavity can be restricted with a door that uncovers and covers the main opening. The pole base cabinets can include support panels, internal stiffening panels, external stiffening panels, support tabs, flanges, tabs, a peripheral wall, and other features to provide structural support and enclose the contents in the pole base cabinet.

  • Patent number: 11935528
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for delivering audible alerts are described. In one aspect, an event for generating an audible alert for a user is detected. In response to detection of the event for generating the audible alert, it is determined whether an authorized audible interface device is within a threshold distance of the user based on a location of the user and a location of one or more authorized audible interface devices. In response to determining that an audible interface device is within the threshold distance of the user, alert instructions for the audible interface device are generated. The alert instructions cause the audible interface device to generate the audible alert in accordance with alert data provided in the alert instructions. The alert instructions are sent to the audible interface device over a wireless network via a communication module.

  • Patent number: 11932950
    Abstract: A method includes machining a raw surface of a metal component to remove first native oxide from a metal base of the metal component to generate an as-machined surface of the metal component. A second native oxide is formed on the metal base of the as-machined surface of the metal component subsequent to the machining. The method further includes, subsequent to the machining, performing operations to generate a finished surface of the metal component. The operations include a surface machining of the as-machined surface of the metal component to remove the second native oxide.

  • Patent number: 11695698
    Abstract: A networking router process, by a hardware data plane, a first incoming packet by matching the packet with a routing table of the hardware data plane. A software data plane processes a second incoming packet by matching the packet with a routing table of the software data plane. In response to the processing of the first incoming packet by the hardware data plane failing, subsequently processing, by the software data plane, the first incoming packet by matching the packet with the routing table of the software data plane. The method comprises delivering, from the software and hardware data plane, network traffic flow information to a flow analyzer. The flow analyzer analyzes the network traffic flow information and updates at least one of the routing tables based at least on the analyzed network traffic flow information.
