20140259860 | WATERFOWL DECOY WITH LIFELIKE FEEDING MOVEMENT - A motorized decoy provides lifelike feeding motion by rotating a weighted head through a full 360 degrees. As the head passes the upper apex of rotation, a drive cam located on the drive shaft disengages from a cam located on the decoy head, thereby allowing the head to accelerate and plunge quickly into the water. This action simultaneously causes the rear of the decoy to rotate to a vertical orientation. The head pauses under water until the drive cam re-engages the head cam at the bottom point of the rotation and continues to rotate the head through a channel in the body. This redistribution of weight causes the body to return to a horizontal position. The head rotation continues to the apex and the cycle repeats. This motion also disturbs the surface of the water surrounding the decoy, which can impart motion to adjacent static waterfowl decoys. | 09-18-2014 |

The NOC may include logic that when executed by a processor, causes the processor to facilitate communication between a user workstation on a private network and a remote computing device, wherein facilitating communication includes receiving the data from the user workstation via a traditional VPN portal, wherein address translation has been performed by a ReNAT twin NAT client on the user workstation. | 07-03-2014 |
20140185626 | Systems and Methods for Providing a ReNAT Virtual Private Network - Included are systems and methods for providing a ReNAT virtual private network (VPN). Accordingly, some embodiments include receiving, at a network operations center (NOC), external packets from a client workstation on a private network and providing source addressing for the external packets to identify the private network from where the external packets were received. Similarly, some embodiments include receiving data from the external packets from a ReNAT twin NAT, where the ReNAT twin NAT includes both a destination public address and a public source address for the data and decrypting the data and forwarding the data with the public source address to the ReNAT twin NAT. In some embodiments the NOC provides a virtual private network within the NOC for facilitating communication of the data between a remote computing device across a wide area network and the client workstation in the private network. | 07-03-2014 |
20140219280 | Systems and Methods for Dual Network Address Translation - Included are systems and methods for providing dual network address translation. Accordingly, some embodiments include translating, via a processor at a network operations center (NOC), a public source address and a public destination address to and from assigned unique private addresses for data to be communicated across a wide area network, while including gateway functions to manage an application with an imbedded IP address. Some embodiments include communicating, via the processor at the NOC, the data to a ReNAT virtual private network (VPN) with packets wrapped in a private ReNAT defined protocol that includes the public source address and the public destination address. Still some embodiments include mapping, via the processor at the NOC, a unique private address in the data to customer defined private IP addresses. | 08-07-2014 |

20160107450 | AGITATING MEMBER FOR INK CARTRIDGE - A printhead assembly for an inkjet printer has a ink filter tower portion that contains filtered ink and includes multiple, substantially parallel extending elements. Settling of ink in an ink filter tower could clog the printhead nozzles and lessen the print quality. Therefore, in order to prevent the settling of the ink in the ink filter tower of the present design, a free-floating weighted slider is installed within the ink filter tower. The weighted slider has a top bridging member and downward-pointing shafts that are movable within trenches formed between the extending elements. During a reciprocating motion of the printhead assembly, the slider moves in a direction opposite to the direction of the printhead assembly and thereby agitates the ink within the tower. In addition to sliding from side to side of the printhead assembly, the slider may also be designed to pivot about an upper axis as it moves to further agitate the ink. | 04-21-2016 |
