Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for facilitating communication of a MANET is provided. A MANET may include a plurality of nodes configured as a virtual IP network. The virtual IP network may comprise a plurality of physical paths of the MANET. The physical paths may couple an IP network to an IP node. Each physical path may traverse a distinct set of nodes of the MANET. The physical paths may be represented to the IP network as a logical path comprising one or more virtual IP nodes.

Abstract: An electric solenoid with adaptable terminals and posts to connect to a variety of different electric connectors, and with a multiple-eared mounting plate permitting mounting in a variety of configurations. The solenoid posts combine internally-threaded female post receptors integrally molded into the solenoid casing, with removable post studs, one end of which is threaded to screw into the respective female post receptor. The other end of the removable post studs are also threaded, and can be formed in a variety of different sizes to accommodate a variety of connectors as needed for a particular application. The energizing terminal (and ground terminal, if present) can accommodate a variety of connector types, including eyelet leads, push-on connectors, and spade connectors.
