International Classification:

B65H 1602

US Classification:

2425632, 242566, 2425943, 2425944, 242157 R

Abstract:

A device and method for dispensing and measuring a plurality of strands from a single spool of stranded material is disclosed. The device is comprised of a mobile portion on which a plurality of pulleys is mounted. The mobile portion includes a frame mounted on an axle to which tires are attached so that the mobile portion may be wheeled about readily. A stationary portion includes a plurality of pulleys and a supply spool of wire. Stranded material from the supply spool is routed back and forth between the mobile portion and the stationary portion, over the pulleys attached to each, until the number of strands between the mobile portion and the stationary portion corresponds with the desired number. Next the mobile portion is displaced away from the stationary portion a distance equal to the length of strands desired. A distance measurement device is mounted on the mobile portion to aid the user in ascertaining the distance that the mobile portion has moved, thereby indicating the wire length.

Abstract:

A cover for an electronic device made of a transparent material and having a form factor that protects function buttons of the device from inadvertent actuation. The cover has an opening of a size, shape and location to afford access to an interface device for multi-way navigation with the cover in place. Protrusions in tabs at the sides of the cover snap into cutouts located midway along the side of the electronic device and may be used to hold the cover in place. The cover may be stored on the back of the device while the device is in use. The transparent nature of the cover affords viewing of a display screen with the cover in place.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 12/26
H04L 12/873

Abstract:

A bandwidth control method implemented in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network includes obtaining data for one or more services in the network, wherein each of the one or more services is controlled by an associated user-agent; determining future bandwidth requirements for the one or more services based on the data; determining service requests for at least one of the one or more services based on the future bandwidth requirements; and causing implementation of at least one of the service requests in order of priority. The process of prioritization uses a programmable network-wide logic and has the ability to consider information external to the network such as a user's Service Layer Agreement (SLA) and business priority. The entire bandwidth control method can repeat in cycles providing near real-time adjustments.

Abstract:

A method and server to detect, diagnose, and mitigate issues in a network include receiving Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) data related to the network, the OAM data related to current operation of the network; instantiating a rule engine to evaluate one or more rules based on any one of the OAM data, an event, policy, and an anomaly; and performing one or more actions based on the evaluating the one or more rules. A Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller is also described.
