Abstract: A water containment apparatus includes a straight strut arrangement comprising a plurality of straight strut assemblies forming an alternating v-shape and inverted v-shape pattern; and a curved strut arrangement comprising a plurality of corner strut assemblies forming a desired curvature and connecting two straight strut arrangements to form a closed loop water containment system.

Abstract: Lasing of an optical channel at a particular wavelength is substantially prevented in an optical ring network by automatically verifying the presence of a break, e.g., termination, in the ring for an optical channel of a particular wavelength before allowing a node in the network to establish a “pass through” connection for that optical channel. More specifically, a node attempting to establish a “pass through” route for an optical channel received from another node is prevented from establishing the necessary connections to do so until it is confirmed that the optical channel of interest has been added to the ring or dropped from the ring at another node, thus indicating the presence of a “break” in the optical ring for that optical channel of interest.
