20080276465 | Childproof Knife Support - There is provided a childproof knife support for supporting at least one knife having a blade. The knife support is provided with a frame having a hole extending therein for receiving the blade of the knife. The support is also provided with a clamp mounted in the hole and having first and second adjacent jaws for clamping the blade inside the frame once the blade is introduced in the hole. The support also has a spring for urging the second jaw against the first jaw to prevent a movement of the blade away from the hole by clamping the blade. The support also has a releasing mechanism preventing an action of the spring on the second jaw, thereby allowing the movement of the blade away from the hole. | 11-13-2008 |
20110188923 | MULTI-AXIS ARTICULATED IMPLEMENT - A lockable articulated joint comprises a first member having a ball shaped attachment further having a recess on its periphery. A rotationally symmetric conforming plunger is for movably nesting into the recess. A second member pivotally receives the ball shaped attachment and comprises a plunger holding portion. User alignment of the recess with the plunger holding portion allows configuring the joint in one of at least two selectable locked positions. The articulated joint is usable in a multi-axis articulated implement, in which one member is an elongated end effecter having a working face and the other member is an elongated handle portion. A user may configure the implement in various locked attitudes, wherein a working face's longitudinal axis extends parallel or perpendicular to the handle, or wherein the working face's normal axis extends parallel to the handle. The implement may be embodied into a multi-axis snow brush. | 08-04-2011 |

20120213226 | PROCESSING DATA PACKET TRAFFIC IN A DISTRIBUTED ROUTER ARCHITECTURE - Embodiments of the invention are directed to efficiently processing packet traffic in a system such as a switch or router having a distributed architecture. An internal header is appended to an ingress packet by an ingress packet processing device before the packet is forwarded to a fabric switch of the system. The internal header corresponds to a configuration of an ingress interface over which the packet was received. An egress packet processing device, upon receiving the packet from the switch, processes the packet based on the internal header and a configuration of an egress interface associated with the egress device. Advantageously, some packet tag manipulation operations are performed only at the egress packet processing device; thereby somewhat freeing up ingress packet processing resources. | 08-23-2012 |
20120224495 | IN-SERVICE THROUGHPUT TESTING IN DISTRIBUTED ROUTER/SWITCH ARCHITECTURES - Various embodiments relate to a system and related method of measuring at least one transport link's performance in a communications network. An originating device controlled by a customer may generate testing frames that are transported to a receiving device also controlled by the customer through the at least one transport link that connects the two devices. In some embodiments, the transport links may transfer the testing frames while the transport links are transporting other data traffic. The receiving device may parse incoming frames and, upon identifying the testing frames, may generate echoing response frames. In some embodiments, the echoing response frames may be placed in one of a series of priority-based service queues. The originating device may then receive the response frames through the transport links and may measure the stream of incoming frames to measure and analyze the transport links' performance. | 09-06-2012 |
20120250536 | ETHERNET-DUAL-ENDED LOSS MEASUREMENT CALCULATION - The invention is directed to a method of preserving accuracy in dual-ended frame loss measurement system between a first node and a second node in a packet switching network, especially by Ethernet routers, switches and bridges supporting ITU-T Y.1731 dual-ended LM functionality by enhancing the behavior of dual-ended frame loss measurement to permit enabling and disabling the loss measurement at each node separately without incurring erroneous errors. | 10-04-2012 |

20140112159 | CIRCUIT EMULATION SERVICE FOR CARRYING TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXED SCADA TRAFFIC - Embodiments of the invention employ specially adapted P2MP and MP2P transmission techniques to communicate traffic of a TDM based SCADA system over an IP/MPLS based network. Advantageously, by specially adapting P2MP and MP2P transmission techniques to carry TDM based SCADA traffic over an IP/MPLS network, an existing TDM based SCADA system can be migrated to an IP/MPLS network and operated in an easy to manage and bandwidth efficient manner as compared to a solution that employs point-to-point connections between a SCADA master node and subsystems over an IP/MPLS network. Furthermore, since TDM based SCADA equipment would not need to be replaced with IP based SCADA equipment in such a migration, significant equipment and installation costs associated with such replacement can be avoided. | 04-24-2014 |

20100131236 | Apparatus and Method for Measuring Deflection of a Printed Circuit Board - Deflection measuring apparatus and methods are used to prevent overstress of printed circuit boards (PCB) prior and during testing. They can be used to verify in a HALT, HASS of ESS testing protocol, if the PCB testing fixture and vibration testing setup would be likely to cause failure of PCB components during pre- testing and testing procedures, which failure would otherwise not occur with faultless components. Furthermore, In the context of a PCB to be integrated to a system as a product such as a computer, the deflection measuring apparatus and methods are used to prevent overstress of PCBs at the system assembly stage, to ensure that operations involved, such as plugging of PCB connectors, will not cause PCB components failure, which would otherwise not occur with faultless components. | 05-27-2010 |
