Patent number: 7315897Abstract: A method, computer program product, and data processing system for distributed control of network elements is disclosed. The present invention divides the control plane functions of a network element into subsystems, which are implemented as processes or threads. A bus-like messaging framework allows the subsystems to communicate with each other. Under the messaging framework, subsystems can communicate with each other without regard for whether the subsystems reside on separate (possibly heterogeneous) hardware platforms or on the same processor. This architecture allows individual components of the control plane functions of a single network element to be placed on different processors or on the same processor, depending on the desired degree of parallel processing or level of integration with low-level network-element hardware.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Kevin Michael Hardee, Michael G. Soulakis, Thomas Wiley Hambleton

Patent number: 6992256Abstract: A disconnect mechanism for an electrical system that is integrated with the enclosure of the system, yet includes an external handle for closing and opening the electrical circuit. The invention utilizes the system's circuit breaker to switch the current on or off, eliminating the need for a separate external disconnect. Moving parts are limited to an external actuating handle connected by a shaft to an actuating arm, which has an opening whose inner edges press against a pin connected to the circuit breaker to trigger its movement between the on and off positions. Automatic tripping of the circuit breaker during a system overload moves the external handle to the off position, furnishing visual evidence of the systems working status. A watertight seal maintains the integrity of the electrical system's enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2005Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Wiley Electronics LLCInventors: Brian Thomas Wiley, Palvin Chee Leong Chan

Patent number: 6923092Abstract: A control mechanism for a transmission such as a hydrostatic transmission or transaxle which simplifies construction and enables the user to change the orientation of the transmission in a vehicle. A first linkage member is rotatably mounted on a support rod and has first and second oppositely extending arms mounted thereon. The arms of the first linkage member are attached to the vehicle drive control and the transmission control arm. A second linkage member is rotatably mounted on the first linkage member and also has two arms oppositely extending therefrom which are connected to a vehicle brake control and the transmission brake mechanism. This second arm of the second linkage member may be engaged to a return arm that is connected to a transmission brake arm by a spring device.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Hydro-Gear Limited PartnershipInventors: Thomas Wiley, Bryce E. Steenburg

Patent number: 6095884Abstract: A device, for calling a variety of game having different instinctive calls, including a first flexible and elastic tube having vibrating means seated in one end thereof and further including a second flexible tube in which the vibrating means and the one end of the first flexible tube are engaged. Turbulent air passing through the first and second tube causes the vibrating means to generate a sound which may be altered in tone, pitch, resonance, and volume by radial deformation or linear bending of either or both the first or second flexible and elastic tubes.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1999Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: William Thomas WileyInventor: William Thomas Wiley
