Title: Pivoting ring petal actuation for variable area fan nozzle
Inventor: JASKLOWSKI CHRISTOPHER T
IPC: F02K1/12
Filed: 2014-05-26
Abstract: A variable area fan nozzle comprising an array of rigid petals and a petal actuation system comprising left and right assemblies, each assembly comprising: a multiplicity of tracks attached to or integrally formed with respective petals; a curved pivoting ring segment; an actuator coupled to the ring segment; and a multiplicity of sets of cam followers spaced along the ring segment and aligned with respective tracks. Each ring segment is pivotable between first and second angular positions depending on how the state of the actuator changes. As one ring segment pivots in one direction, one set of cam followers exert inward forces on the tracks to deflect petals inward; as that ring segment pivots in the other direction, another set of cam followers exert outward forces on the tracks to deflect petals outward.

Abstract: A method and computing device for transitioning into and out of partial service mode to make valuable bandwidth available for other resources. The method sets a trigger value for a channel, where a first cable modem and a second cable modem have registered to use the channel, and where the first cable modem is a bonded channel modem that utilizes a bonding group that includes the channel and at least one other channel. The method then monitors a modulation mode for the channel. The method transitions the channel from full service mode to partial service mode when the channel is in full service mode and the monitoring detects that the modulation mode is less than or equal to the trigger value. The method transitions the channel from partial service mode to full service mode when the channel is in partial service mode and the modulation mode for the channel is greater than the trigger value.

Title: Excluding specific application traffic from customer consumption data
Inventor: KELSEN MICHAEL S
IPC: H04L47/2416
Filed: 2013-01-03
Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein include systems and methods for excluding specific application traffic from customer consumption-based data billing counts. This is useful for excluding traffic from consumption totals where the application traffic has been accounted for using other means, such as through billing as a separate or technically distinct service. In practice, a tablet computer (or other end user device) can run a video application that uses a high-speed data network via a cable modem. This video application may be included as part of a core video package associated with a distinct cable television service. The system then provides accurate consumption billing of customer traffic that is outside of any other managed services by creating separate logical data service flows at a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) for excluding specific traffic counts.

Inventor: EREN SUZAN
IPC: H02M1/14
Filed: 2014-09-30
Abstract: Provided are DC-bus voltage or current controller methods and circuits, for a voltage or current source inverter. A mean value calculator provides an output signal comprising the mean value of the DC-bus voltage or current, which is used as a feedback signal in a closed loop of the voltage or current source inverter controller, such that a ripple in the DC-bus voltage or current is substantially prevented from entering the closed-loop. In some embodiments a droop controller, which may be adaptive, is used in the closed loop with reverse proportional gain. The adaptive droop controller may provide a constant or variable DC-bus voltage or current. Embodiments regulate the DC-bus voltage or current to an optimized value such that power losses for load and grid conditions are minimized or reduced, and voltage and current ripple is minimized. Embodiments may be used in voltage and current source inverters connected to the utility power distribution grid, in power generation systems, in distributed generation systems, and renewable energy systems.
