摘要:
In an optical telecommunications network in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a link connection undergoes an automatic port recognition process, whereby the port binding information for the link is detected, recorded and shared with the network elements connected by the link, before the link is used to transmit bearer traffic. One of a group of optical network elements that communicate through an out of band channel, such as a LAN, is “elected” a network element leader. After election, the leader network element coordinates the port discovery process; requests for port “recognition”, responses to requests, and other messages are passed through the network element leader on the out of band channel from one non-leader network element to another. Once the recognition process is set up through the leader network element, an optical test signal is transmitted along the link in question from the recognition requesting network element to all other network element s in the network. The receiving network elements monitor the power level at each of their “inactive” ports and the inactive port at which an increased energy level is detected is determined to be the port attached to the link in question.

A router in accordance with the principles of the present invention employs explicit routing protocols to establish a plurality of explicitly routed label switched paths between source and sink routers. The sink router selects one of these explicitly routed paths as a primary path and communicates along that path. Upon a failure in a path selected as a primary path, a secondary path is instantaneously selected as the new primary path. Since the new route has already been established, there is no need to re-compute the path at the time of a failure. Consequently, a new path is rapidly established in response to the failure of a path. One of the new routers may employ physical level maintenance information, such as loss of signal (LOS) or loss of pointer (LOP), for example, to detect such path failures. Additionally, the new router may employ provisioned flow information to propagate path failure alarms.

A modular display case is an apparatus that houses at least one desired item. The apparatus is able to effectively protect a desired item as the apparatus includes an enclosure, a plurality of lateral walls, a cover, an interconnecting system, a plurality of lamps, and a power source. The enclosure houses the power source and upholds a desired item, the plurality of lateral walls, the cover, and the plurality of lamps. The plurality of walls and the cover surround and aid in the preservation of a desired item. The plurality of walls and the cover are transparent. The plurality of walls and the cover are attachable with each other and the enclosure with the interconnecting system of a plurality of tabs, a plurality of notches, a plurality of first tab-receiving slots, and a plurality of second tab-receiving slots. The plurality of lamps illuminates the desired item with the power source.

A method in an electronic device provides a mechanism for maintaining application mobility in a communication network, such as a content distribution network. In one exemplary embodiment, a user device transitions from a source content server in a first access network of the communication network to a destination content server in a second access network of the communication network. The source content server hands off responsibility for serving the content to the destination content server. In some embodiments, a tunnel is created between the source content server and the destination content server.

A vehicle seat includes a seat back having a support frame coupled to a seat foundation. The seat back also further includes a deformable seat shell adapted to assume various shapes between initial position and final positions in response to variable rearward loads applied by a seated passenger. The seat shell is coupled to the support frame by a compliant shell-motion controller via upper and lower motion-control links. The motion-control links allow pivotal motion, and at least one of the links includes a spheroidal joint. A link foundation extends between and interconnects the upper and lower motion-control links and is coupled to the support frame so that the link foundation does not move during seat shell deformation. The shell-motion controller may be pre-assembled as part of a backrest or the motion-control links may be formed after the link foundation is attached to the support frame.

A method and an apparatus for multi-service adaptation and carriage, comprising: mapping at the service adaptation layer different types of services into uniform enhanced Gigabit Passive Optical Network Encapsulation Method (E-GEM) frames; combining at the channel layer E-GEM frames encapsulating the same type of services into the same type of T-CONT frames; setting a priority for each type of T-CONT; guaranteeing bandwidth for T-CONT frames with high priority and preferentially sending it.
摘要:
Porting between local, cluster, and cloud execution is aided by using the same source code for multiple data sources. A data source identifier recited in source code maps to data sources at different execution targets. Executable codes tailored to successive targets are produced using a resolution API without changing the developer's source code. An editable data source mapping is per-project, maintained in a file or project property, and placed in a distributable software package with executable code. Burdens on developers to determine execution targets in their source code and explicitly handle different execution locations in the source code are reduced. Source code can be freed of absolute path data source identifiers or code for detecting execution location. Source-to-source translation injects calls to create a folder, file, or cloud container. Data source resolution can be based on a relative path rooted at the data source identifier.

In one aspect of the present invention, a method for increasing the dielectric breakdown strength of a polymer is described. The method comprises providing the polymer and contacting a surface of the polymer in a reaction chamber with a gas plasma, under specified plasma conditions. The polymer is selected from the group consisting of a polymer having a glass transition temperature of at least about 150° C., and a polymer composite comprising at least one inorganic constituent. The contact with the gas plasma is carried out for a period of time sufficient to incorporate additional chemical functionality into a surface region of the polymer film, to provide a treated polymer. Also provided are an article and method of manufacture.
