Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a storage presentation module and a mapping module in communication with the storage presentation module and an object pool module. The storage presentation module is operable to provide a first storage interface and a second storage interface via a network interface. The first storage interface is associated with a first storage resource accessible via a first storage protocol, and the second storage interface is associated with a second storage resource accessible via a second storage protocol different from the first storage protocol. The mapping module is operable to receive from the storage presentation module a request for access to the first storage resource based on the first storage protocol and a request for access to the second storage resource based on the second storage protocol.

Abstract: A machine control system (130) includes a computer (132) that generates, edits and displays a continuous multi-block flowchart representing a program and compiles the program from the flowchart to control the operations of a machine (140). The system (130) also includes a debugger (146) for displaying the flowchart in a debugger window (170) for runtime execution control of the program.

Abstract: A pipe joint consisting of first and second pipes having ends juxtaposed to provide a fluid tight interconnection therebetween. An outer surface of the first pipe defines a first circumferential coupling groove and a first circumferential seal groove disposed between the first coupling groove and the connected end of the first pipe. An outer surface of the second pipe defines a second circumferential coupling groove and a second circumferential seal groove disposed between the second coupling groove and the joined end of the second pipe. Fitted over the outer surfaces of the first and second pipes is a resilient sleeve covering the first and second seal grooves. A clamp assembly with inward projections overlays the sleeve and is radially collapsible to forcibly engage the resilient sleeve.
