  • Publication number: 20130220037
    Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are directed to devices and system that can be used to fill a sample cell. In some examples, the system can be configured with a pressure device configured to provide a negative pressure to accelerate filling of the cell with the sample. In some embodiments, the negative pressure can be used to fill a flow cell at a selected fill rate.

  • Patent number: 8289146
    Abstract: A monitoring system for a NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) is provided. The monitoring system includes a system controller, and a NAC comprised of one or more notification appliances that may be in a series. The NAC and its appliances may be operatively coupled to the system controller. The system controller is operable to determine whether a notification appliance has sufficient voltage at a low voltage operation. The system controller may control the voltage to the NAC in order to provide power to simulate operation of the NAC using battery power. A voltage may be measured during the simulation (such as at one end of the NAC). The measured voltage may be compared with a predetermined minimum operating voltage for the notification appliance. Based on the comparison, it may be determined whether the one or more appliances on the NAC may operate properly when the NAC is operated using battery power.

  • Patent number: 8209410
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the storage estate of an organization using an interactive website that is configured to produce and display a novel set of key performance indicators (KPIs) related to the storage estate, including KPIs related to data collected from at least one of storage area network data and network attached storage data. In one embodiment, the novel set of KPIs includes one or more of protection efficiency, application efficiency, and snapshot overhead, where protection efficiency is calculated as a ratio of logical addressable data storage volume to total physical volume of data storage for storage area network data of the organization, application efficiency is calculated as a fraction of disk storage allocated to end user devices that is actually used by the end user devices for storage area network data, and snapshot overhead is calculated as a ratio of a volume of storage allocated for replicated copies of data to allocated storage for network attached storage data.

  • Publication number: 20050169321
    Abstract: A fire alarm network fiber optic multiplex modem includes plural local interfaces, a fiber optic interface, a multiplexor, a fiber optic modem, and a demultiplexor. The multiplexor combines data received at the local interfaces into an outgoing data stream. The fiber optic modem transmits, at a first wavelength, the outgoing data stream to the fiber optic interface and receives, at a second wavelength, an incoming data stream via the fiber optic interface. The demultiplexor separates the incoming data stream into separate data streams, and forwards each of the separate data streams to its corresponding local interface.
