Publication number: 20240056882Abstract: A communications network may include a bandwidth system and a statistics system in order to assess data packet loss in a communications network. The bandwidth system may operate to mark data packets as either high or low priority and to receive feedback information on data packet loss and jitter. The statistic system may operate to collect metrics relating to the performance of radio frequency equipment as well as the weather or environmental conditions of a local area network. Embodiments of these systems may allow for identification of data packet loss due to specific sources such as radio frequency intervention, congestion, and burstiness. Visualization outputs may also be provided to benefit the operator of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: William Vaughan, Alwin Tom, Luis Carrion, Akhil Sudhakaran, Shadrach Retnamony

Publication number: 20070175468Abstract: A manifold of a solar water heating system having an offset mechanism formed on an outer surface thereof that allows articulated airflow between the manifold and a mounting surface. For one embodiment the offset mechanism is implemented as flanges formed at each end of the manifold. For one embodiment the manifold has a male end and a female end that provide a compression fit for interconnecting two manifolds. One embodiment provides a means for securing a manifold to a mounting surface such that rotation of the manifold relative to the mounting surface is significantly reduced or prevented. For one embodiment the means for securing the manifold includes a clamp bolted to the mounting surface and a means for removably coupling the manifold to the clamp. For one such embodiment the clamp has channels formed on the interior thereof that receive a corresponding flange formed on the manifold.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventors: William Vaughan, Dennis Lempert

Patent number: 6471938Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a process for selectively removing detrital material from boro-aluminosilicate selected from EUO, NES and intergrown mixtures of EUO and NES boro-aluminosilicate topology zeolites having a Si/M ratio of greater than about 50, comprising treating said boro-aluminosilicate with a base for a time and at a temperature sufficient to remove said detrital material from said boro-aluminosilicate wherein the concentration of said base is less than about 0.5 normal. Base concentrations in excess of this level may cause the removal of framework components leading to subsequent structural degradation.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2000Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: David Evan William Vaughan, Karl Gottlieb Strohmaier

Patent number: 6446057Abstract: A technique is used in embodiments of the invention such that backtracking programs can be written in a general purpose computer language (e.g., C++ or Java) without requiring the control structure of the program to reflect the structure of the decision tree. A data state and a control state are restored during backtracking. For restoring the data state, embodiments of the invention keep track of the changes made to variables and the point in execution at which the changes are made. When backtracking occurs, the data state can be restored by undoing the changes to the desired point in execution. For restoring the control state, the method of the invention provides a “failure” exception state that is invoked upon failure in the program (e.g., a failure to find a solution in a search program). The failure exception is “caught” by catch points established in the execution stack.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Inventor: Paul William Vaughan

Patent number: 6419496Abstract: A learning method to enhance long-term retention of a large number of learned facts or principles. The method presents items to a User repeatedly and, depending on the recall of the User, the time between presentations of a properly recalled item increases. Items being presented for the first time and those presented a subsequent time before being properly answered are designated Unseen Items and O-Level Items, respectively. During each Session, a raw score is assigned to the item (related to the User's ability of recall with the item). When its raw score becomes sufficiently high, the item is considered a P-Level Item, after which it is presented less frequently and the rate of presentation continually decreases as the User demonstrates that he or she knows the correct response for the particular P-Level Item. The number of Sessions that are skipped before the particular P-Level item is re-presented to the User is based on the User's Level L in recalling the correct answer to the item.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2000Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Inventor: William Vaughan, Jr.
