20080206522 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A WINDSHIELD HAVING A PROTECTIVE LAMINATE - Protective laminate films protect an underlying windshield from damage due to impacting rocks and other debris. The protective laminate films generally include a flexible polymer substrate having a scratch resistant coating and an adhesive layer on opposing surfaces thereof. Each layer is transparent such that, when applied to a windshield, the laminate film does not inhibit visibility. Each layer may also be flexible so that the laminate films can be molded to a curved windshield. Generally, the scratch resistant coating protects the laminate films from scratching or other damage from impacting debris and/or from windshield wipers. The substrate provides structural integrity to the laminate films and may provide some degree of impact dispersion. The adhesive layer, in addition to adhering the laminate films to the windshield, may also provide significant impact resistance that helps protect the windshield from cracks or chips due to impacting rocks or other debris. | 08-28-2008 |

20090119066 | PROVIDING DIRECTIVE REPLACEMENT OF HFSI PARTS BASED ON SPECIFIC MACHINE PERFORMANCE - Embodiments herein maintain an unscheduled maintenance rate of a first apparatus, of a group of apparatuses, based on a history of unscheduled maintenance service calls performed on the first apparatus. Other apparatuses in the group of apparatuses have different unscheduled maintenance rates when compared to the unscheduled maintenance rate of the first apparatus. The method/system herein replaces fully used components of the first apparatus that exceed a predetermined full service life, based on usage meters of the components and replaces partially used components of the first apparatus that do not exceed the full service life, based on the usage meters. When directing replacement of partially used components, the method determines the remaining amount of the full service life for each of the partially used components, estimates the occurrence of the next service call for the first apparatus based on the unscheduled maintenance rate for the first apparatus, compares the remaining amount of the full service life for each of the partially used components to the occurrence of the next service call to identify ones of the partially used components that will exceed the full service life before the next service call, and then replaces only the ones of the partially used components that will exceed the full service life before the next service call. | 05-07-2009 |

Based on receipt of the data packet, the first network device generates and transmits a first response to a source of the data packet. The first response indicates a placement of the first network device with respect to a hierarchical tree of the plurality of network devices belonging to the multicast group. | 03-15-2012 |
20140075041 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA STREAM MIRRORING - A mirroring configuration employs an alternate usage of an existing messaging protocol and mechanism for propagating mirroring control for remote mirroring of data streams. A source routing entity, i.e. a router or switch through which the mirrored stream passes, identifies the stream as available for monitoring. The enabled stream propagates from a source network device, typically from a router port, to a mirroring destination in addition to the addressed destination. A stream identifier emulates an identifier from an alternate usage, such as a multicast group identifier for a multicast protocol, and activates mirroring by inserting the stream identifier in publish and join messages of the multicast protocol. | 03-13-2014 |

20100000037 | Speed Regulated Pipeline Pig - A pipeline pig includes a venturi and a modulating valve located rearward of the inlet side of the venturi. When the valve is in the open position, a predetermined maximum bypass flow is allowed through the venturi. The closed position allows a predetermined minimum bypass flow. The valve may be a poppet-style valve or a frusto-conical shaped stopper. The stopper has sufficient mass and/or aerodynamic drag to overcome the spring force holding the valve in the open position. When the pig stalls, the valve closes and the stopper chokes bypass flow through the venturi. When the pig starts running again, the valve opens as inertia forces the stopper away from the inlet side of the venturi. Also, as friction of the pig increases due to changes in the internal diameter of the pipeline or accumulation of debris ahead of the pig, increased airflow across the valve creates drag sufficient to partially overcome the spring force, thus keeping the pig moving at a desirable rate of travel. | 01-07-2010 |
20100170535 | PIPELINE PIG LAUNCH PIN AND RETRACTION SYSTEM - A method and system for launching a pipeline pig includes the steps of compressing a modulating bypass valve of a pipeline pig and installing a locking means to temporally maintain the bypass valve in the compressed state. Once the pig has travelled a predetermined distance through the pipeline, the locking means is released and retrieved through the launch trap door. The locking means is preferably a launching pin having a clip attachment that receives the clips of a retractable lead. The lead is housed by a retraction device that is detachably secured to the launch trap door. The modulating valve has sufficient mass and aerodynamic drag to overcome the force of a gas spring. The valve moves between a retracted and compressed position substantially instantaneously upon the pipeline pig stalling and between the compressed and retracted position substantially instantaneously upon the pipeline pig accelerating. | 07-08-2010 |
20120006420 | Progressive Dewatering and Inhibitor Dispersal Rolling Pig - A method for progressively dewatering a pipe or pipeline includes the use of a loose-fitting spherical- or quasi-spherical shaped pig body which rolls forward through the interior space of the pipe and temporarily captures and redistributes a portion of the volume of liquids available for capture and redistribution as the pig body rolls on past. Preferably, the portion captured is less than the volume available for capture. A part of the captured liquid may be redistributed to an upper quadrant of the pipe. Capture and redistribution are accomplished by way of a first bypass pathway and a second bypass pathway. One of the pathways may be a through-body pathway. The pig body may be a hollow pig body with a plurality of spaced-apart ports, a solid pig body with a plurality of paddle-like structures, or a cube-sphere type pig body with recessed external wall surfaces. | 01-12-2012 |
20120017386 | Pipeline Debris Shearing Device - A pipeline debris shearing device includes a forwardly positioned, self sharpening, wear compensating, diameter conforming elastomeric member that forms a peeling edge having a negative rake angle to peel away debris from the internal wall of a pipeline. The peeling edge is formed at the point of meeting between a concave-shaped, curved forward face surface and a substantially straight outer peripheral surface. Radial slots may be provided to lessen the force being exerted on the peeling edge and provide for bypass flow to carry away debris removed by the peeling edge. Spaced-apart narrow stripper teeth may be added to help in removing harder deposits of debris. The peeling edge may be arranged substantially perpendicular the central longitudinal axis of the pipeline pig or arranged oblique to it. Further, the peeling edge may spiral about at least a portion of the pipeline pig. | 01-26-2012 |
