Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for auto-adjustment signal quality. A method may include determining one or more cable modem devices configured to communicate with a device via a network. The method may include sending poll requests to the one or more cable modem devices to determine a signal power level associated with each of the one or more cable modem devices. The method may include receiving a first poll response from a first cable modem device. The method may include determining, based on the first poll response, a first signal strength associated with the first cable modem device. The method may include determining that the first signal strength deviates from a signal strength threshold. The method may include determining, based on the determination that the first signal strength deviates from the signal strength threshold, a first adjustment to an output power of the device for the first cable modem device.

Methods and systems for auto-adjustment of signal quality

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to resetting observable channel knockouts. A device may transmit a poll request frame to a cable modem to solicit information associated with the cable modem. The device may receive a response frame from the cable modem, wherein the response frame includes information indicating the cable modem is in a partial operation state. The device may store at least a portion of the information in the memory. The device may determine a command configured to cause the cable modem to transition from the partial operation state. The device may transmit the command to the cable modem.

Resetting observable channel knockouts

A system and method for generating fluid flow parameter data for use in aerodynamic heating analysis. Computational fluid dynamics data is generated for a number of points in an area on a surface to be analyzed. Sub-areas corresponding to areas of the surface for which an aerodynamic heating analysis is to be performed are identified. A computer system automatically determines a sub-set of the number of points corresponding to each of the number of sub-areas and determines a value for each of the number of sub-areas using the data for the sub-set of points corresponding to each of the number of sub-areas. The value is determined as an average of the data for the sub-set of points corresponding to each of the number of sub-areas. The resulting parameter values then may be used to perform an aerodynamic heating analysis.

Data point averaging for computational fluid dynamics data

A system and method for determining a cross flow angle for a feature on a structure. A processor unit receives location information identifying a location of the feature on the structure, determines an angle of the feature, identifies flow information for the location, determines a flow angle using the flow information, and determines the cross flow angle for the feature using the flow angle and the angle of the feature. The flow information describes a flow of fluid across the structure. The flow angle comprises an angle of the flow of fluid across the structure for the location of the feature.

Cross flow parameter calculation for aerodynamic analysis

The described invention relates to a method for determining corrosion in wet gas pipelines comprising: a) using a portion of the liquid phase from a wet gas pipeline; b) placing said portion in a high pressure, high temperature autoclave to prepare a saturated vapor phase; c) transferring the saturated vapor to a corrosion test unit, said unit having a specimen holder section having external, temperature adjustable means, and specimens being arranged in one or more positions within the specimen holder; d) chilling said specimen holder section so as to cause condensation onto said corrosion testing specimens; and, e) calculating a value selected from the group consisting of corrosions rate, pitting of the specimen, weight loss of the specimen, and any combination thereof. The invention process can be practiced in a separate laboratory apparatus designed to accomplish the above method, or in a similar online apparatus set up in a semi-batch mode or continuous mode.
