20120118079 | TORQUE COEFFICIENT MEASURING DEVICE - A torque coefficient measuring device can be used to measure an axial load produced by a torque applied to a threaded component which is mounted to the fixture. The measuring device can include a base defining a chamber therein. A load sensor is disposed within the chamber of the base. A movable load pin is housed within the base and arranged such that an axial load placed upon the load pin is transmitted to the load sensor. An attachment member is adapted to be connected with the threaded component. The attachment member is operably arranged with the load pin such that a torque applied to a threaded component mounted to the attachment member places an axial load upon the load pin. | 05-17-2012 |

20140268175 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL CAMBER MEASUREMENT OF FLAT SHEET MEMBRANES, FILMS, AND WEBS - A system, method, and device for measuring camber in a film is disclosed. The system generally includes: a flat surface with a longitudinal axis, at least three sensors spaced apart along the longitudinal axis, and a computing device operatively connected to each sensor. When the film is positioned in relationship to the sensors, the computing device computes the camber of the film. The flat surface may be a table with a film holder. At least one of the sensors may be a LED sensor. The computing device may have an output means, such as a monitor, a printer, or both. The computing device defines a straight line between the first and third sensor based on the position of the film, and the camber is a deviation of the film, measured by the second sensor, from the straight line. | 09-18-2014 |

20120179904 | Remote Pre-Boot Authentication - A host computer cloud has a processor and supports a virtual machine. An agent under control of a user is in communication with the cloud over a network. A key management server is in communication with the cloud over a network. The cloud stores the virtual machine in the form of a virtual encrypted disk on a non-volatile storage medium. When commanded by the agent, the cloud requests a disk-wrapping key from the key management server and decrypts the encrypted disk using the disk-wrapping key. | 07-12-2012 |

20110122777 | Automatic channel pass-through - A network infrastructure device of an apparatus in one example comprises a receive interface and a transmit interface for a communication channel. The network infrastructure device is configured to pass a data stream for the communication channel from the receive interface, through a set of signal processing blocks, and to the transmit interface. The network infrastructure device is configured to analyze the data stream for an occurrence of a predetermined data pattern. The network infrastructure device is configured to automatically add and/or remove one or more signal processing blocks from the set of signal processing blocks upon the occurrence of the predetermined data pattern. | 05-26-2011 |
20110172993 | Single channel EVRCx, ISLP and G.711 transcoding in packet networks - An apparatus in one example has: a receiver configured to receive an input signal in a first encoding format, the input signal having an input payload; and a transcoder operatively coupled to the receiver, the transcoder structured to transcode in a single channel the first encoding format to a second encoding format, the transcoder configured to generate an output signal in the second encoding format based on the input signal, the output signal having an output payload; and wherein the transcoder is configured to switch between providing encrypted data in the output payload and non-encrypted data in the output payload. | 07-14-2011 |
20120303364 | Encoded packet selection from a first voice stream to create a second voice stream - In one implementation, a first voice stream for a packet-switched call is received from a calling party. The first voice stream conforms to a first silence suppression scheme and comprises a plurality of encoded packets for the packet-switched call. A subset of encoded packets are selected from the plurality of encoded packets to create a second voice stream that conforms to a second silence suppression scheme. The second voice stream comprises the subset of encoded packets. The first silence suppression scheme is distinct from the second silence suppression scheme. The second voice stream is forwarded toward a called party for the packet-switched call. | 11-29-2012 |
