Title: Bandwidth management in an advanced metering infrastructure
Inventor: MANI MEHDI
IPC: H04L47/525
Filed: 2012-10-09
Granted: 2016-06-02
Abstract: In a network environment, a node may measure and/or recognize network activity or congestion and send feedback to downstream nodes (i.e., higher rank nodes) in response. During periods of lower network activity, lower congestion and/or lower network load, the feedback may direct an upstream flow of packets to be transmitted at a quality of service (QoS) level that allows consumption of more bandwidth than is indicated by a QoS level associated with a service level agreement (SLA) of the upstream flow of packets. During periods of higher network activity, congestion and/or network load, the feedback may limit the upstream flow of packets to the QoS level associated with the SLA of the upstream flow of packets. Accordingly, an upstream node (e.g., a root node) may use feedback to regulate bandwidth used by one or more downstream nodes and/or flows of packets, in part using network activity, congestion and/or bandwidth availability.

Abstract: A service providing apparatus (10) includes a detection section (20), an acquisition section (110, 112), a memory (24), and a notification section (112). The detection section (20) detects states of multiple resources of the service providing apparatus (10). The multiple resources are resources to be used for providing a service. When an application program (200) which is to perform a service process is added to the service providing apparatus (10), the acquisition section (110, 112) acquires resource information indicating a resource which is necessary for the added application program (200) to perform the service process. The memory (24) stores the resource information and information of the service process so as to associate the resource information and the information of the service process with the added application program (200). When the added application program (200) is executed, the notification section (112) specifies a resource which is associated with the added application program (200) based on the information stored in the memory (24), determines whether it is necessary to notify the added application (200) of the state of the specified resource, and, in a case where it is determined that it is necessary to notify the added application of the state of the specified resource, notifies the added application program (200) of information indicating the detected state of the specified resource among the detected states of the multiple resources. 2/14 oo CD) CD) Ck cD~CD ui o o~ Q c 0- ~F-Cl U JCl)J a CD LU uj COW C) Cl)C) LC) C ) ofr _In ~C) FCl) > C) F--.

Title: System and method for dynamic file availability during encoding
Inventor: DAHL JONATHAN H
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2013-02-15
Granted: 2016-03-03
Abstract: A method for dynamic file availability during remote transfer and transcoding involves the conversion of a non-streamable media file to a streamable format prior to transcoding, and the streaming of the transcoded file before ingest and transcode is complete. A first portion of a non-streamable media file is received at an ingest server for transcoding. Upon determining that the first portion does not include a header, the probable location of the header in the media file is determined and a header portion of the file is received at the ingest server. The first portion is combined with at least part of the header to produce a first streamable segment. Prior to receiving the last portion of the media file at the ingest server, the first streamable segment is transcoded at a first transcode server to produce a first transcoded streamable segment.

Granted: 2016-09-08
Abstract: A percutaneous transluminal angioplasty device includes an embolic filter mounted to the catheter shaft at a location distal to the angioplasty balloon. Thus the filter can be down-stream from the blockage and can be properly positioned to capture embolic particles that may be set loose into the blood stream as the angioplasty procedure can be performed. The embolic filter can be normally undeployed against the catheter shaft to facilitate introduction and withdrawal of the device to and from the operative site. Once the angioplasty balloon can be properly positioned, however, means operatively associated with the embolic filter can be actuated to erect the filter to position a filter mesh across the lumen of the vessel.

IPC: H01F7/18
Filed: 2013-05-27
Granted: 2017-11-23
Abstract: The circuit for driving an inductive load (L) comprises an input arranged to be connected to a supply voltage and an output arranged to apply the supply voltage to the inductive load, a first switch (Q1), and at least one capacitor (C). The first switch is connected to the capacitor and the inductive load, and closing and opening of the first switch causes the capacitor to be charged by the supply voltage via the inductive load. The circuit further comprises a device (CPU) for measuring a voltage over the charged capacitor, which further is arranged to control the first switch to discontinue the charging of the capacitor when the voltage over the charged capacitor has reached a predetermined level greater than that of the supply voltage, a second switch (Q2), and a third switch (Q3) being connected to the inductive load and the capacitor. A first and a second diode (D1, D2) is used for preventing the capacitor from discharging via the first switch and blocking inductive load current from entering the power supply, respectively. The second switch is connected to a control terminal of the third switch, and the capacitor is further connected to the control terminal and an input terminal of the third switch, wherein closing of the second switch causes closing of the third switch and discharging of the capacitor via the third switch into the inductive load, Finally, closing of the first switch causes a current sufficient for actuating a mechanical valve associated with the inductive load to be induced in the inductive load.
