  • Publication number: 20200068053
    Abstract: A system can include one or more content distribution sites to provide content to one or more content satellite offices for delivery toward a set of destination devices for display. A content distribution site, of the one or more content distribution sites, can include one or more streamer devices. The one or more streamer devices can be associated with a single spoofed Internet protocol (IP) address. The spoofed IP address can facilitate failover among the one or more streamer devices. The one or more streamer devices can be configured to provide the content toward the set of destination devices using multicast with forward error correction (FEC). A content satellite office, of the one or more content satellite offices, can be configured to subscribe to a multicast group associated with the one or more streamer devices. The multicast group can be associated with the spoofed IP address to facilitate the failover among the one or more streamer devices.

  • Publication number: 20200033837
    Abstract: A data center comprises an enclosed space, a support disposed in the enclosed space, a plurality of cryptocurrency miners disposed on the support, and a barrier wall separating the enclosed space into a first portion on a relatively cool side and a second portion on a relatively warm side. The cryptocurrency miners each comprise a miner fan for circulating air from the first portion, and the cryptocurrency miners are each disposed so that air moved by the miner fan is exhausted into the second portion. A method of cooling a data center involves drawing relatively cool air into and through miners. Once the air is warmed inside the miners, the air is exhausted into a partitioned space.

  • Publication number: 20200033265
    Abstract: Analyzers, methods and systems for providing a digital fingerprint or signature for assessing process information and improving process operations using such information. In particular, such analyzers, methods and systems use a unique analysis procedure for identifying, for example, one or more constituents of an intermediate and/or a product-based process stream and providing process operating parameters specific to such one or more constituents. The analyzers, methods and systems may additionally provide dilutions or concentrations of such constituents to improve the understanding of the process operation and how such process operation should be adjusted in response.

  • Publication number: 20200015708
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for the analysis of gaseous compounds, especially for determining the concentration of a gas or gases in a gas mixture by microwave spectroscopy. Microwave radiation is generated at one or more frequencies the gas is most responsive to, transmitted by antenna, passed through the gas under test, received by antenna, and the absorption and/or reflection of the microwave radiation is measured by means such as digitization and analysis using the FFT spectrum versus energy response generated, the response subsequently used to calculate the gas concentration.

  • Patent number: 10509140
    Abstract: The shape and size of a borehole may be characterized downhole, using measurements of the borehole shape in conjunction with a catalog of shapes against which the measured shape is matched. A unique identifier for the measured borehole shape, and optionally a size parameter, may be transmitted to a surface facility, generally saving bandwidth compared with the transmission of the raw measured borehole-shape data. Alternatively or additionally, downhole measurements may be adjusted based on the measured shape.

  • Patent number: 10416286
    Abstract: The present invention is a signal processing method to significantly improve the detection and identification of source emissions. More particularly, the present invention offers a processing method to reduce the false alarm rate of systems which remotely detect and identify the presence of electronic devices through an analysis of a received spectrum the devices' unintended emissions. The invention identifies candidate emission elements and determines their validity based on a frequency and phase association with other emissions present in the received spectrum. The invention compares the measured phase and frequency data of the emissions with a software solution of the theoretically or empirically derived closed-form expression which governs the phase and frequency distribution of the emissions within the source. Verification of this relationship serves to dramatically increase the confidence of the detection.

  • Patent number: 10395032
    Abstract: An apparatus for testing, inspecting or screening an electrically powered device for modified or unmodified hardware, firmware or software modifications including Malware, Trojans, adware, improper versioning, worms, or virus and the like, includes an antenna positioned at a distance from the electrically powered device and a signal receiver or sensor for examining a signal from the electrically powered device. The receiver or sensor collects unintended RF energy components emitted by the electrically powered device and includes one or more processors and executable instructions that perform analysis in a response to the acquired signal input while the electrically powered device is active or powered. The characteristics of the collected RF energy may be compared with RF energy characteristics of an unmodified device. The comparison determines one of a modified, unmodified or score of certainty of modified condition of the electrically powered device.
