Publication number: 20240186782Abstract: A clamp for suspending a wire is provided. The clamp includes a base having a support surface that defines a first boundary of a wire receiving region. The clamp includes a keeper having an elastomer lining that defines a second boundary of the wire receiving region. The clamp includes means for providing force to at least one of the keeper or the base such that, when the wire is in the receiving region, the elastomer lining is pressed against the wire to provide a static retaining force, as a function of the force, on the wire to retain the wire relative to the clamp and permits sliding of the wire relative to the clamp when a pulling force on the wire exceeds the static retaining force and remains within a designed slip force range.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Derek Alexander LENARDOS, Cameron Joseph CLINES, Benjamin Franklin CIESIELCZYK, Jacob Jeffrey PALMER

Patent number: 11960136Abstract: A cable restraint located in a splice enclosure to restrain a cable includes a tray having a bottom side with an upward facing surface. The cable restraint also includes a restraint bridge removably attached to the tray. The restraint bridge includes a central portion having a surface configured to cooperate with the tab feature to inhibit relative motion between the restraint bridge and the tray in a direction non-perpendicular to an axis of the cable. A restraint clip is removably attached to the restraint bridge and includes a restraint post attached to the body portion configured to secure a strength member of the cable to the restraint clip. The restraint clip further includes a column attached to the body portion configured to inhibit relative motion between the restraint clip and the restraint bridge in the direction non-perpendicular to the axis of the cable.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: PREFORMED LINE PRODUCTS CO.Inventors: Christopher Grubish, Cameron Joseph Clines

Patent number: 10430293Abstract: In one example, a method for backing up data includes downloading configuration information that includes one or more policies that specify one or more aspects of a backup process. Next, a notification is received concerning a “start” command, receipt of the notification is acknowledged, and the “start” command is performed to create a backup job in a job queue. A signal is then sent indicating that the “start” command is finished, and a backup start event is created. The backup process is then performed, and a report generated indicating that success or failure of the backup process.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Andrew Skowronski, Joseph Cline, Jian Li, Russell Budd Simons, Zhaoding Wu
