Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mains-power electrical connector. The connector includes a core defining passages for receiving respective cables, and apertures for receiving fasteners to fasten the cables within the passages. Windows terminate the passages. A light penetrable cover is provided for covering the core and the windows. The fasteners may be in the form of shear bolts.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for project management. A method embodiment for project management includes accepting a designation of disparate enterprise data from disparate sources in an enterprise system as plan data for a project. The disparate enterprise data is governed by business rules in the enterprise system. The method also includes dynamically aggregating the plan data from the disparate data sources; presenting the aggregated plan data in a project management interface; accepting a manipulation of a portion of the aggregated plan data; enforcing business rules on the aggregated plan data in the project management interface; and committing the manipulated aggregated plan data back to the datasources.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power line coupler for coupling a pair of cables together. The coupler comprises a protector for receiving and protecting the cables. A clamp is provided for clamping the protector and cables together. In many embodiments, the protector comprises an inner tube in which the cables can be inserted from opposite sides. In one embodiment, the clamp comprises an outer tube in which the protector is located.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a flow of packet data in a memory management unit of a network switch fabric is disclosed. A first portion of a data packet is received at a port on an ingress bus ring of the network switch fabric. A class of service for the data packet is determined based on the first portion and the portion is stored in a packer RAM of the port based on the class of service. Subsequent portions of the data packet are stored in the packer RAM. Once the predetermined number of portions have been received, the predetermined number of portions is sent to a packet pool RAM. A reference pointer to a first predetermined number of portions is sent to a transaction queue once an end of packet is detected and an egress scheduler detects a presence of a ready packet in the transaction queue and notifies an unpacker of the ready packet. The unpacker puts the ready packet into a FIFO and the ready packet is sent to an ingress/egress module.

Abstract:
A memory management unit (MMU) for a network switch fabric for forwarding data is disclosed. The MMU has an ingress port interface receiving portions of a data packet and an egress port interface, connected to ingress ports of the fabric through an ingress bus ring. The MMU also includes a cell packer, that groups packet data into cells and a packet pool memory, that stores cells received from the cell packer. The MMU also includes a cell unpacker, where the cell unpacker separates stored cells before releasing the cells to an egress port. The MMU also includes an egress scheduler communicating with the cell unpacker, where the egress scheduler determines which packet data should be retrieved from the packet pool memory according to priority rules. The priority rules can be a deficit round robin scheduling algorithm or a weighted round robin scheduling algorithm.
