20100074623 | THREE-WAY HANDSHAKE (3WHS) OPTICAL NETWORK SIGNALING PROTOCOL - A method for optical network signaling processing of a signal from a first node to an end node through intermediate nodes is presented. The method comprises determining, in a first pass from the first node to the end node, available wavelengths and wavelength conversion at each node, the end node optimizing wavelengths using the available wavelengths and wavelength conversions, at each node, dropping a cross-connect command, in a second pass from the end node to the first node, choosing wavelengths for connection based on the optimizing step, in a third pass from the first node to the end node, receiving at each node a signal message and releasing unused cross-connect commands, the end node identifying the chosen wavelengths and releasing the unused resources, and transmitting the signal on the chosen wavelengths. Restoration paths can also be determined. Optimizing can include selecting and marking one or more backup wavelengths. | 03-25-2010 |

20100192013 | System and Method for Automated Distributed Diagnostics for Networks - A method for distributed computations for fault-diagnosis in a system whose fault propagation model has deterministic couplings between faults and symptoms includes creating a ‘relation graph’ in which the nodes correspond to the potential faults, with two nodes connected by a ‘relational link’ if their corresponding faults have an observed symptom in common. The relation graph is then partitioned into several domains, while minimizing the number of cross-domain relational links, which correspond to cross-domain symptoms. In each domain, all the optimal local solutions to the domain's sub-problem are first determined, and then a combination is selected of the local solutions, one from each domain, that explains the maximum number of cross-domain symptoms, where the optimal solution is supplemented, if necessary, with additional faults to explain any remaining unexplained cross-domain symptoms, determining also a bound on the deviation from optimality of the global solution. | 07-29-2010 |
20100265836 | Self-Correcting Adaptive Tracking System (SATS) - A system and method for self and group location and tracking based on ultra wide band ranging among members of the group is presented. The system comprises an anchored station, a plurality of nodes, each node having at least knowledge of where the node is facing and heading, knowledge of all pair wise distances among all of the plurality of nodes, and ability to exchange information among the nodes and with the anchored station via relays. The system and method find a new position estimate of the group in accordance with an adaptive search process based on constraints of the ultra wide band ranging, and the search process enables extracting directional information and adaptively stabilizing orientation of the group. In one embodiment, adaptively stabilizing the orientation of the group is performed using an orientation-correcting polygon matching process. | 10-21-2010 |
20130055020 | Method for Automated Distributed Diagnostics for Networks - A method for distributed computations for fault-diagnosis in a system whose fault propagation model has deterministic couplings between faults and symptoms includes creating a ‘relation graph’ in which the nodes correspond to the potential faults, with two nodes connected by a ‘relational link’ if their corresponding faults have an observed symptom in common. Each relational link is assigned a weight equal to the sum, taken over the symptoms represented by the relational link, of the reciprocal of the number of distinct fault-pairs that produce each such symptom. The relation graph is then partitioned into several domains, while minimizing the number of cross-domain relational links, which correspond to cross-domain symptoms. In each domain, all the optimal local solutions to the domain's sub-problem are first determined, and then a combination is selected of the local solutions, one from each domain, that explains the maximum number of cross-domain symptoms, where the optimal solution is supplemented, if necessary, with additional faults to explain any remaining unexplained cross-domain symptoms, determining also a bound on the deviation from optimality of the global solution. | 02-28-2013 |

20120211279 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STRENGTHENING A WELLBORE - Embodiments include drilling through a formation using a drill bit conveyed by a tubular string having an outer diameter at least 70 percent of the wellbore being drilled. The formation is drilled at a first rate of penetration (ROP) while pumping drilling fluid at a first flow rate. After drilling through the formation, the ROP is reduced to a second ROP, the flow rate is reduced to a second flow rate, and pressure is increased in the wellbore until drilling fluid begins to leak into the formation. While maintaining the increased pressure in the wellbore, the volume of drilling fluid lost to the formation is monitored until the rate at which the drilling fluid loss occurs is reduced. Components of this procedure are repeated until a selected wellbore strength is achieved. | 08-23-2012 |
