Abstract: An interactive system is provided to help an operator locate the source of a data fault in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. A database stores information related to data types and subsystems used by the ATM network. A processor coupled to the database uses the information stored therein to formulate a series of queries related to a selected one of the subsystems using the data type experiencing a data fault. The series of queries have a hierarchal order that sequentially inquire about operational status of the various subsystems having a relationship with the data type experiencing the data fault. A graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor displays each query in accordance with the hierarchal order thereof. The GUI simultaneously displays identification of the various subsystems having a relationship with the data type experiencing the data fault.

Abstract: An animal collar having an elongated, flexible strap with opposite ends mounting detachable fasteners such as prongs, buckles or the like. Adjacent to each end of the strap, there is provided an open-ended pocket. A pest or insect repellent strip is removably carried on the inside of the collar whereby the opposite ends of the strip are insertably received through the opening into the interior of each pocket respectively. Retainer loops are carried on the strap between the pockets maintaining the repellent strip in position on the strap. Leash rings are operably carried on the strap to accommodate a walking leash.
