  • Publication number: 20240089197
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interfaces to manage inter-regional connectivity for direct network peerings. A system may include a connectivity coordinator, a first resource collection in a first geographical zone and a second resource collection in a second geographical zone. The coordinator implements a programmatic interface defining connectivity operations. The coordinator receives a request via the interface to establish a logically isolated network path to the second resource collection on behalf of a client that has a dedicated physical link set up to connect to the first resource collection. In response to the request, the coordinator performs one or more configuration operations to enable traffic to flow from the client's network to the second resource collection over a logically isolated network path using the dedicated physical link.

  • Patent number: 6692011
    Abstract: A mobile pedestal includes a wheeled cabinet unit with a cabinet made from sheet metal, and a cushioned upholstery-covered top subassembly attached to a top of the wheeled cabinet unit. The top subassembly includes a flat housing made of a wood product and that is shaped to substantially cover the cabinet. The housing defines a pair of edge-located elongated cavities. A U-shaped handle with elongated legs that extend into and slidably engage the cavities so that the handle is movable to an internal storage position in the cavities and to an extended angled use position. The legs have a turned-in end and the cavities are configured to engage the turned-in ends to retain the handle to the housing when the handle is in the extended use position, but further the legs are configured to permit the handle to rotate from a horizontal extended position to the angled use position when extended.

  • Patent number: 6435634
    Abstract: An office furniture system includes a furniture unit, such as a binder bin or main shelf, mounted to a partition. A display shelf assembly is mounted to the furniture unit, and includes a movable shelf, a first bent-wire support fixedly attached to the furniture unit and slidingly attached to the shelf, and a second bent-wire support operably pivotally attached to the furniture unit and pivotally attached to the shelf. The first and second support members are configured to support the shelf through a range of motion between a substantially horizontal storage position and a vertically inclined display position. In one embodiment, the second support is operably attached to the furniture unit for both pivoting and sliding movement.
