20150063093 | TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER TO REESTABLISH FAST REROUTED PRIMARY TUNNELS BASED ON BACKUP TUNNEL PATH QUALITY FEEDBACK - In one embodiment, a primary tunnel is established from a head-end node to a destination along a path including one or more protected network elements for which a fast reroute path is available to pass traffic around the one or more network elements in the event of their failure. A first path quality measures path quality prior to failure of the one or more protected network elements. A second path quality measures path quality subsequent to failure of the one or more protected network elements, while the fast reroute path is being used to pass traffic of the primary tunnel. A determination is made whether to reestablish the primary tunnel over a new path that does not include the one or more failed protected network elements, or to continue to utilize the path with the fast reroute path, in response to a difference between the first path quality and the second path quality. | 03-05-2015 |

20150307016 | Folding Divider Device - A folding divider device for separating and transporting items on a truck bed. The divider device includes a first and second panel pivotally connected by a spring-biased hinge that allows the device to open and fold for installation and uninstallation. The surface of the panels comprise one or more channels, wherein one or more dividers are removably attached thereto. The dividers are positioned perpendicularly to the panels to create compartments therebetween. The device further includes inserts that can be used to adjust the length of the device so it fits within a user's truck bed. To prevent the device from shifting while in use, the inserts can removably attach to end pieces, wherein the end pieces can attach to the sides of a truck bed. In the alternative, the inserts can removably attach directly to grooves on the sides of a truck bed. | 10-29-2015 |
