  • Publication number: 20190310605
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a diagnostic method for a spindle arm of a machine. The method includes rotating the spindle arm of the machine at a first rotational speed, and acquiring, from an accelerometer, data indicative of a vibrational response of the spindle arm operating at the first rotational speed. The accelerometer is disposed along the spindle arm. The method further includes converting the vibrational response to a frequency based response to obtain a first frequency response, determining whether an amplitude of the first frequency response exceeds a diagnostic threshold, and performing a designated correction on the machine in response to the frequency response exceeding the diagnostic threshold.

  • Patent number: 10432542
    Abstract: A mobile telecommunications network includes a core, a radio access network, and a platform control unit. The platform control unit is capable of identifying a network path of a communication that originated from a mobile terminal. Based on certain characteristics of the communication, the platform control unit will determine whether the communication should be offloaded from its network route. If the communication is to be offloaded, then the platform control unit causes the communication to bypass the network's core.

  • Patent number: 10414338
    Abstract: A system for enhancing driver situation awareness and environment perception around a transportation vehicle. The system incorporates a plurality of object detecting sensors. The sensors are arranged for monitoring at least one critical zone around the vehicle. A plurality of addressable light-emitting diodes are operatively associated with the object detecting sensors. The addressable light-emitting diodes are located on the vehicle for visual display to the driver. When a given sensor detects an object in the critical zone, a detection signal is transmitted to a LED controller. Upon receiving the detection signal, the LED controller transmits a control signal to selectively activate only those addressable light-emitting diodes which are associated with the given sensor, such that the activated light-emitting diodes visually communicate to the driver a location of the detected object in the critical zone.

  • Patent number: 10402381
    Abstract: A method for determining mail archive ownership during data migration is described. The method is performed by a Migration Manager that is capable of generating a list of possible owners based on confidence level. The confidence level is obtained by scanning various messages associated with the mail archive and determining a frequency of appearance a particular user name (e.g., e-mail address) appears compared to the total number of messages scanned. The generated list of possible owners can subsequently be used to determine/confirm the owner of the mail archive. Confirmation may be required before the data migration is completed.

  • Patent number: 10390616
    Abstract: A product display assembly includes a body, at least one support, and at least one product holder. The body defines an interior volume and includes a base. The at least one support is mounted to the base of the body, and disposed within the interior volume. The support includes a foot and a stem extending from the foot. The foot is mounted to the base of the body and defines a foot plane, and the stem extends from the foot at an oblique angle to the foot plane. The at least one product holder is mounted to the at least one support, and is configured to hold a product at an orientation that is oblique to the foot plane.

  • Publication number: 20190133064
    Abstract: Disclosed is a growing system that includes a hollow grow tower with planting units configured to hold plants disposed on the tower exterior where the planting units have a passage that extends into the tower interior. The tower also includes a drain port at one end and a water-dispensing nozzle at the other end. The nozzle includes outlet apertures in fluid communication with the interior of the tower where one or more of the nozzle outlet apertures may be square. An enclosure surrounds the tower, and one or more light sources are mounted on the enclosure to direct light towards the tower. The tower and enclosure can be connected to a suspension frame that suspends the entire system off the ground. The system may include a closed-loop irrigation system and a multi-tank cleaning system. System variables, such as water flow, temperature, lighting, and water nutrient level can be computer controlled.

  • Patent number: 10248314
    Abstract: A method for migrating a nickname cache via a migration manager is described. The method includes the migration manager locating where the nickname cache is stored and locating where the nickname cache is to be migrated. Once the source and target devices are located, the migration manager can generate any necessary transformations so that the data migrated from the source device to the target device is compatible. The nickname cache can then be extracted from the source device, transformed and stored into the nickname cache of the target device.
