20140359275 | Method And Apparatus Securing Traffic Over MPLS Networks - Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) data is typically sent non-encrypted over MPLS-based networks. If encryption is applied to MPLS data frames and MPLS labels are encrypted, each node receiving any of the MPLS data frame would have to perform decryption in order to direct the data frames to a next node, therefore resulting in extra processing and data latency. According to an example embodiment, encryption and decryption mechanisms for MPLS data include encrypting/decrypting payload data while keeping the MPLS labels in the clear (i.e., unencrypted). A MPLS encryption label is also employed within the MPLS label stack to indicate that encryption is applied. The MPLS encryption label is inserted in the MPLS label stack when encrypting the payload and is removed when decrypting the payload. | 12-04-2014 |

20110064273 | AUTOMATED TURNOUT INSPECTION - A method of inspecting a turnout of a track includes the steps of: capturing images of the components of the turnout; converting each image into a set of coordinates that traces the transverse cross-section of a rail profile; analyzing the rail profile to determine if the rail profile is a profile of arunning rail portion or a component. Upon determination that the image represents a component, taking measurements of the rail profile and applying virtual gauges to the rail profile to check for potentially dangerous conditions of the component; and generating a summary of each cross-section of the rail profile of the component indicating problem areas. The method is used for identifying certain classes of switch or turnout rail conditions which can lead to derailments, and for enhancing the turnout inspection approach currently used. The use of this method as an integrated part of the rail profile monitoring program will reduce reliance on field measurements and will also allow more frequent, comprehensive, and convenient analysis of turnout condition. | 03-17-2011 |
