20130211673 | Method for Optimizing Heavy Hauler Pneumatic Tire Performance on Multi-Axled and Multi-Tired Vehicles - A method for optimizing pneumatic tire performance on a multi-axled and multi-tired vehicle is disclosed. The method requires three events to occur on any single axle with tires in dual configuration: 1) accurate and correct measurement of all tires mounted on the axle; 2) a known super-imposed load weight on the axle; and 3) tire pressures influenced by tire size and imposed load. The simultaneous occurrence of these three events will allow all tires have the same bottom radii that allows them to rotate at the same surface speed. It is necessary to recognize that tires in operation have two radii; a top radius and a bottom radius which is calculated by subtracting the bottom deflection from the top radius. These manipulations achieve uniform bottom radius of all the tires and is the object of the invention. Also, disclosed is an apparatus for measuring the radius of a tire. | 08-15-2013 |

20140193154 | SUBCHANNEL SECURITY AT THE OPTICAL LAYER - The present invention includes various novel systems and methods for dynamically modifying WDM transmission and receive steps (individually or in combination), including encoding client signals, mapping them to subchannels within or across ITU channels, modulating them onto subcarrier frequencies, and multiplexing them together for optical transmission. By dynamically modifying one or more of these processing steps over time (as well as encrypting underlying client signals), additional security is provided at the physical (optical) layer of an optical network, thereby greatly enhancing overall network security. Tunable lasers are employed to generate respective subcarrier frequencies, which represent subchannels of an ITU channel to which client signals are mapped. Client circuits are divided and combined with one another before being mapped to individual subchannels within and across ITU channels, thereby facilitating desired optical routing, switching, concatenation and protection of the client circuits mapped to those subchannels across the nodes of a WDM network. | 07-10-2014 |
20150124583 | NETWORK COMMUNICATION METHODS AND APPARATUS - The present invention includes various novel systems and methods for communication in a network. A System Environment Monitor is employed in some embodiments to extract from the network both real-time and historical Network Metrics at the Infrastructure Layer, as well as Application Metadata at the Application Layer. Network analytics facilitate decisions based upon the differing characteristics of Application Components and lower-level hardware components across multiple DTTs. In response, an SDN Controller generates modified sets of SDN Flows, and implements them in real time across a mixed technology (multi-DTT) network in a manner that avoids disrupting existing SDN Flows and other real-time network traffic. | 05-07-2015 |
