Abstract:
An attribute propagation method and a switch system based on a fiber channel network are disclosed. According to the present invention, after an attribute is registered on one of its ports, each switch can automatically use its port on the other side to propagate this attribute, and a next adjacent switch can register this attribute on its port on the same side, so that ports on one side of all switches can have this attribute registered automatically. Hereafter, after the attribute is registered its port on the other side, each switch can automatically use its port on said one side that has been registered to propagate this attribute reversely and a next adjacent can register this attribute on its port on the other side, so that ports on the other side of all switches can automatically have this attribute registered. In this way, there is no need to manually configure each port. Instead, the attribute can be registered automatically on ports on both sides of all switches, thus improving the configuration efficiency for port attributes. Furthermore, the present invention can enable propagation of any attribute, thus making the present invention have a high popularity.
Abstract:
A document scanner comprises a scan bed, and a processor means which is adapted to: analyse a scanned image to detect one or more defined markings on the scanned document in addition to and adjacent the document content desired to be scanned by the user; and in response to detection of one or more defined markings, to control the document scanner in response to the defined markings.
Abstract:
A crossover is formed by imprinting a channel, by depositing a first conductor in the channel, by anodizing a surface of the first conductor and by electroforming a second conductor across the first conductor.
Abstract:
A fluid supply includes a container, a bag within the container and a cap. The cap provides a fluid interface in communication with an interior of the bag and a pressurization interface in communication with an interior of the container adjacent an exterior of the bag. The pressurization interface has a channel that concentrically extends about the fluid interface.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a seal includes a body of resilient material having a generally cylindrical opening therein. A first, smaller diameter part of the opening is defined by a cylindrical inner surface having a plurality of bumps protruding therefrom, and a second, larger diameter part of the opening is defined by an inwardly bulging sidewall. In another embodiment, an assembly includes: a boss protruding from a boss base; an elastomeric seal comprising a collar and a flexible collar base supporting the collar on the boss base, the collar having an opening therein closely receiving the boss and the collar base configured to flex when compressed along the longitudinal axis and rebound back toward an original position when uncompressed; and a plurality of elastomeric bumps on the collar and/or on the boss, the bumps protruding into the opening such that the collar is supported laterally around the boss on the bumps.
Abstract:
In one embodiment a fluid container includes: a housing having a chamber therein for holding a fluid, the housing defined at least in part by a rectangular box and a one piece, L-shaped lid; and a first leg of the lid extending along and closing a first, open side of the box and a second leg of the lid extending along and interlocked with a closed, second side of the box disposed perpendicular to the first side of the box.
Abstract:
A method forms a first inorganic dielectric layer having a first concentration of defects and a second inorganic dielectric layer in contact with a first layer and having a second lesser concentration of defects.
Abstract:
Embodiments of reflecting non-visible light off one or more mirrors are disclosed. In an embodiment, non-visible light may be reflected off of one or more mirrors in an off positon and a portion of a screen may be illuminated with the non-visible light. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
