20130330959 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SYSTEM INCLUDING MATING ASSIST LEVER THAT CONTAINS LOCKING MEANS AND CPA MEMBER THAT INTERACTS THEREWITH - An electrical connection system and method includes a first connector housing matable to a second connector housing along a mating axis. The first connector housing contains a mating assist lever (MAL) that rotationally pivots between an INOPERATIVE position and a CLOSED position and includes a locking means. When the MAL is positionally rotatable to the CLOSED position the first connector housing and the second connector housing are mated together such that the locking means is disposed adjacent an external surface of the second connector housing. A sufficiently applied force against the locking means actuates the locking means so that the locking means latchingly secures the first connector housing to the second connector housing. A CPA member, also disposed on the MAL, slidingly communicates with the latched locking means transverse to the mating axis and ensures the latched locking means does not become unlatched so that electrical connection system remains mated. | 12-12-2013 |

20090133851 | HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR WITH DEFROST - A defrost system for a heat recovery ventilator/energy recovery ventilator (HRV/ERV), uses the interior space supply air of an integrated fan coil for defrosting a HRV/ERV core without creating negative pressure in the interior space, which wastes energy, without need of an external fifth port from which to draw defrost air from the interior space, which increases costs, and without re-circulating exhaust air into the interior space. During the defrost cycle, automatically controlled dampers close off the fresh air and exhaust air inputs, and exhaust output, and circulate supply air through the heat exchange core and into to the living space. | 05-28-2009 |

20140064063 | PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HANDLING MULTIPLE FAULTS AND ISOLATED NODES IN INTERCONNECTED RING NETWORKS - The present disclosure provides protection systems and methods that provide a mechanism to identify/determine when an interconnection node has been isolated (i.e. when there is no connectivity between a pair of interconnection nodes), from a data path perspective. If/when this condition exists, actions are triggered on the subtending sub-ring that essentially perform a protection switch (which causes the subtending sub-ring nodes to cleanse their forwarding tables), and, more importantly, that remove any channel blocks on the subtending sub-ring. Extensions to the ITU-T G.8032 state machine are also provided that include support for operator command interactions (e.g. DNR, force switch, manual switch, etc.). The protection systems and methods of the present disclosure enable the reliable application of ITU-T G.8032 and the like to more complex (i.e. meshed) deployment environments, among other significant advantages. | 03-06-2014 |

In response to detecting presence of an interference signal in the monitored frequency band of the physical communication link, the monitor resource transmits one or more notifications. | 09-18-2014 |
20140362897 | MITIGATION OF WIRELESS SIGNAL INTERFERENCE - A signal analyzer resource monitors a signal in a downstream channel of a shared physical communication link. In response to detecting presence of wireless interference coupling onto the signal received in the downstream channel, the signal analyzer resource communicates a feedback message to a management resource (or other suitable resource) over an upstream channel of the shared physical communication link. The message indicates the presence of the wireless interference. According to a more specific configuration, the signal analyzer resource can be configured to: detect a type of modulation used to modulate data on a signal received in a channel over a shared cable network; map the detected type of modulation to a corresponding set of configuration values; and utilize the corresponding set of configuration values as a basis to monitor and/or detect a presence of wireless interference on the channel. The signal analyzer resource can mitigate affects of interference. | 12-11-2014 |
