20160040890 | PORTABLE COOKING STOVE - This invention relates to cooking stoves and in particular, to lightweight, efficient and portable outdoor cooking stoves. The cooking stoves are primarily for military use, for example by the dismounted infantry soldier, but are also suitable for other outdoor leisure pursuits such as backpacking, hiking and boating. The cooking stoves are designed to make efficient use of pre-packaged fuel blocks, to withstand cold temperatures and high winds, to protect combustible surroundings and to mask flames from an enemy. | 02-11-2016 |

20080232249 | Rank Order Filtering for Randomly Sampled Data Points - A method of rank order filtering and a rank order filter apparatus is defined by an established rank order and accepts into a buffer, data points to be filtered, each data point having a data value and an associated time stamp. Data points are accepted until the buffer contains data points representing a minimum predefined time span. The filter calculating an amount of time the data values in the buffer are above an approximate filter value and adjusts the approximate filter value based upon the relationship of the amount of time to the rank order. The steps iterate to approach a value defined by the rank order and the approximate filtered value is output. | 09-25-2008 |
20080270504 | Method and System for Filtering of Networked, Synchronized Measurements - A system processes discrete digital data according to a function, the discrete digital data including data values and time stamps, the time stamps being at non-uniform time intervals according to a time scale. The system comprises a processor having program instructions for implementing the function in terms of state space equations, using system design and data flow language software; inputting the discrete data into the implementation of the function; and outputting the result as an output discrete data stream of new data values and time stamps. | 10-30-2008 |
20090113183 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING A DEVICE AND A DEVICE CONTROLLED THEREBY - A method of controlling at least one device is disclosed. The method includes providing the device with at least one constraint for carrying out an operation. The device determines if the constraint can be met. If it is determined that the constraint can be met, the device determines on its own accord a manner to get into a state wherein the constraint will be met. The device then goes into the state in the determined manner. A device that is controlled by the method and a system including such a device are also disclosed. | 04-30-2009 |
20090128187 | PRE-PROCESSING DATA SAMPLES FROM PARALLELIZED DATA CONVERTERS - An apparatus for pre-processing data samples from parallelized analog-to-digital converters (ADC). An ADC converts an analog signal into N parallel digital data samples that are output on N ADC links x | 05-21-2009 |
20150370234 | DIGITAL TRIGGERING USING FINITE STATE MACHINES - An apparatus that can be configured for various functions such as a digital oscilloscope, logic analyzer or frequency analyzer is disclosed. The apparatus includes a symbol generator, a multi-symbol FSM, and a controller. The symbol generator generates an ordered sequence of symbols from an ordered sequence of digital values. The symbol generator generates one symbol corresponding to each of the digital values. The digital values have a greater number of possible values than the symbols. The controller causes the multi-symbol FSM to search for a pattern in the sequence of symbols that identifies a corresponding pattern in the sequence of digital values. A portion of the digital sequence is then displayed based on the location of the pattern in the sequence of symbols. | 12-24-2015 |

20090271508 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE FOR A NETWORK - A method and an apparatus for providing a measurement of performance for a network are disclosed. For example, the method sends a plurality of multi-objective probes on a path, and receives one or more of said plurality of multi-objective probes for the path. The method then determines a plurality of performance measurements. | 10-29-2009 |
20110158105 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AND LOCALIZING AN ANOMALY FOR A NETWORK - A method and apparatus for detecting and localizing an anomaly for a network are disclosed. For example, the method sends a first set of probe packets on at least one path of the network, and detects a performance anomaly on a first path of the at least one path. The method then identifies at least one link on the first path that is responsible for the performance anomaly by applying a second set of probe packets. | 06-30-2011 |
20120106377 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE FOR A NETWORK - Performance for a network is measured by sending multi-objective probes on a path, receiving at least one of the multi-objective probes for the path, and determining performance measurements for at least two parameters of the path determined from the at least one of the multi-objective probes. Separate algorithms are simultaneously executed to measure the at least two parameters of the path determined from the at least one of the multi-objective probes. | 05-03-2012 |

20100290346 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK ANOMALY DETECTION - A network anomaly detector evaluates two complementary measurements of network statistics, a time variation and correlation among those statistics, to provide an extremely robust detection of network anomalies. In one embodiment, the variability and correspondence are compared against historically derived thresholds to provide for a system that accommodates to local network conditions and evolving network qualities. | 11-18-2010 |
20100290353 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING NETWORK PACKET DATA - A network monitor provides improved understanding of the type of data being transmitted by packets by capturing rendezvous packets, such as domain name server queries and responses, to extract text domain names that may then be associated with later packets using a common numeric addresses. Text domain names intended for human understanding and recollection provide a unique insight into the content of the packets not readily obtained by analysis of the packet data itself. | 11-18-2010 |
