Publication number: 20240152415Abstract: A computer network device (such as an access point, a switch or a router) that has multiple user interfaces is described. During operation, the computer network device may execute program instructions for the user interfaces and a shared messaging module, where a given user interface includes an agent corresponding to an application. When a message associated with the application is received via a user interface in the user interfaces, the corresponding agent in the user interface may extract a command or operation from the message. Then, the shared messaging module may translate the command or operation into a common format of the application. Moreover, the shared messaging module may provide (or route) the translated command or operation addressed to the application via a single communication path associated with the application and the agents for the application in the user interfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Suneetha Sarala, Tian Lei, Jane Joseph, Renjith Kumar Ponnappan, Andrew Persaud, Sushant Gaurav

Publication number: 20240103097Abstract: The present disclosure provides a direct current (DC) transformer error detection apparatus for a pulsating harmonic signal, including a DC and pulsating harmonic current output module and an external detected input module, where the DC and pulsating harmonic current output module outputs a DC and a DC superimposed pulsating harmonic current to an internal sampling circuit and a self-calibrated standard resistor array; and the internal sampling circuit converts the input DC and the input DC superimposed pulsating harmonic current into a voltage signal, and sends the voltage signal to an analog-to-digital (AD) sampling and measurement component through a front-end conditioning circuit and a detected input channel. The DC transformer error detection apparatus can complete self-calibration for measurement of the DC and the pulsating harmonic signal on a test site.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Xin Zheng, Wenjing Yu, Tao Peng, Yi Fang, Ming Lei, Hong Shi, Ben Ma, Li Ding, Wei Wei, Linghua Li, He Yu, Tian Xia, Yingchun Wang, Sike Wang, Dongri Xie, Xin Wang, Bo Pang, Xianjin Rong
