Abstract:
Disclosed is a process that is performed by a management application for automatically mapping the topology of one domain to another domain. In addition, if a device in a domain fails, the domain application can automatically associate replacement devices with predecessor management objects.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a method, apparatus and system for managing SAS zoning, using connector grouping. A connector grouping management application is configured to allow connectors on the edge of the ZPSDS to be grouped into defined zones. The defined zones are used to create a minimal number of zone groups and to configure the respective permissions of the zone groups. The connector grouping application then compares all existing zone groups for phys common to more than one zone group. The connector grouping application removes all phys common to more than one zone group from the respective zone groups and moves the common phys to a new zone group. The zone groups are processed in this manner until no zone groups have common phys. Once all zone groups have been processed accordingly, information associated with the resulting zone groups and their respective permissions are transferred to the zone manager.
Abstract:
A cake decorating organizer with multiple compartments is provided for storing cake decorating tools. The cake decorating organizer has a lower case section, a middle case section and an upper case section. The upper case section has at least one recessed storage area, preferably with a lid connected thereto. In preferred embodiments, decorating tips of various sizes can be stored in the recessed storage area of the upper case section. The middle and lower case sections each have at least one drawer slidably received therein. Preferably, the cake decorating organizer also has at least one side pocket for storing spatulas.
Abstract:
Adjustable measuring cups include a housing having a peripheral wall having an open upper end, an outer surface, an inner surface, and a bottom surface. The adjustable measuring cups also include a platform slidably movable within the housing, and an adjustment wheel rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the housing. The platform has an upper surface and a lower surface. A plurality of connecting rods can be connected to the adjustment wheel, and can also be connected to the lower surface of the platform. The measuring volume of an adjustable measuring cup can be defined by the open upper end, the inner surface of the housing and the upper surface of the platform. The platform slidably moves when the adjustment wheel is rotated, thereby adjusting the measuring volume of the measuring cup.
Abstract:
Rolling pins of the present invention generally have a core, a rolling surface disposed on the outer surface of the core, a shaft that extends through the core, a first handle, and a second handle. The shaft has a first handle section, a second handle section, and a central section, and also has a shaft length greater than the core length. The handles are removably connected to the handle sections of the shaft. Preferably, the handle sections of the rolling pin shaft have locking features, and the handles have catches that releasably engage the locking features. The rolling surface is made from, or contains, thermoplastic elastomer. In at least some embodiments, the rolling surface can be a sleeve that slides onto the outer surface of the core and is secured to the ends of the core by end caps.
