International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370233, 370234

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for analyzing traffic arriving at and/or departing from a traffic aggregate defined as a given IP-related protocol, a given port associated with a given protocol, an IP address or subset of IP addresses, or by other traffic aggregation, during a given time interval, to determine whether there is a significant increase or decrease in traffic aggregate's traffic volume as compared to the traffic aggregate's expected traffic volume are disclosed. In one embodiment, the present method defines a traffic share ratio threshold associated with a given protocol or a given protocol port or a given IP address or a given subset of IP addresses or other traffic aggregation using said collected volumetric traffic data. The present method also defines a current traffic share, a baseline traffic share and a traffic share ratio to be evaluated for the said traffic aggregate. In turn, the present method raises an alarm if the traffic aggregate's traffic share ratio to be evaluated exceeds or falls below the traffic share ratio threshold defined for the traffic aggregate.

Abstract:

A method of in-situ cleaning of a portion of a boiling water reactor nuclear power plant. In one aspect, the method includes identifying a jet pump for the boiling water reactor nuclear power plant for cleaning, providing an ultrasonic cleaning tool that has a transducer, inserting at least a portion of the transducer into or adjacent to the interior cavity of the jet pump, in-situ, and energizing the transducer to a desired energy level.

Brian S. Grant - Wood Dale IL

Assignee:

Three Hands, Inc. - Oak Forest IL

International Classification:

B65D 542

US Classification:

229 15H

Abstract:

A plate and cup holder has a plurality of panels attached foldably relative to each other and convertible into an assembled state. A support panel has a first end with an opening for receiving a cup and a second end for supporting a plate. Side panels are attached to the support panel along opposite said side edges thereof and are swung transversely of the support panel when the holder is the assembled state. Each side panel has a tab which is swung inwardly of the respective side panel and beneath the first end of the support panel when the holder is in the assembled state. An end panel is attached to the support panel and is engaged with the tabs to maintain the holder in the assembled state.

International Classification:

H01H 920

US Classification:

335164

Abstract:

A manual actuation mechanism for a solenoid having a plunger with one end connected to an external apparatus, such as a diesel engine fuel pump energization of the solenoid coil drives the plunger axially from an initial position to an actuation position. The manual actuation mechanism comprises a retraction rod that extends axially through the solenoid and is movable from a normal position disengaged from the plunger to a retraction position; in moving to its retraction position the rod drives the plunger to its actuated position, simulating energization of the coil. The manual actuation mechanism further includes a retainer comprising a spring clamp mounted on the housing and projecting into firm, resilient gripping engagement with the rotary actuator to preclude vibrational or other incidental rotation of the actuator regardless of its position. The spring clamp also serves as a strain relief for electrical connections to the solenoid.
