Abstract: Methods and apparatus for enabling detection of configuration changes in a network device. One method uses a configuration counter in a system database of the network device. In response to an atomic submission of CLI commands to a configuration agent and the storing of the corresponding configuration in a system database, the configuration counter is incremented. An OpenConfig module maintains an expected value of the configuration counter and, upon completion of its own command submissions, compares the expected value to the value in the configuration counter. If the two values do not match, it indicates that the configuration counter in the system database has been incremented as a result of a configuration change from a source other than the OpenConfig module. A configuration client can then be notified of the configuration change so that it can revert the configuration to a desired configuration.

Abstract: A manual log splitting device for splitting a log has a first assembly including a base plate for resting of the log and a first upright extending upwardly from the base plate. A second assembly having an upright sleeve, impact plate, and wedge assembly, is axially and slidably mounted on the first upright with the upright sleeve. A user splits the log by causing the second assembly to move towards the base plate such that the wedge assembly passes through and splits the log. A receptacle abuttingly engages the upright sleeve and the base plate when the second assembly is in a resting position where the wedge assembly is slightly spaced apart from the base plate. Thus, movement of the second assembly towards the base plate beyond the resting position, and contact therebetween, is prevented.

Abstract: A manual log splitting device for splitting a log has a first assembly including a base plate for resting of the log during splitting thereof and a first upright supported by and extending upwardly from the base plate. A second assembly having an upright sleeve, impact plate, and wedge assembly, is axially and slidably mounted on first upright by axial and sliding engagement of first upright with upright sleeve. A user splits log by applying a downwardly directed force on second assembly thereby causing second assembly to move towards base plate such that wedge assembly passes through log, thereby splitting log. Abutting engagement means, extending away from base plate, abuttingly engages upright sleeve and base plate when second assembly is in a resting position where wedge assembly is slightly spaced apart from base plate. Thus, movement of second assembly towards base plate beyond resting position, as well as contact therebetween, is prevented.
