  • Patent number: 9940220
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for controlling a protocol analysis device when a code execution breakpoint is encountered. The method includes displaying computer code in a user interface of a software development program. The computer code includes a breakpoint. The computing system receives user input to cause a first hardware device to execute the computer code. The computing system instructs the first hardware device to execute the computer code. The computing system instructs a protocol analysis device that is in communication with the computing system to begin recording data that is transmitted between the first hardware device and a second hardware device. The computing system determines that execution of the computer code has reached the breakpoint and as a result instructs the protocol analysis device to start or stop recording the data.

  • Patent number: 5489162
    Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention features a fastener having two mating pieces. One of the mating has a rigid surface of thickness q, and a hole in the surface, the hole including a slot defined by two generally parallel edges separated by a distance r. The other mating piece has a base and a pair of wings held above the base to define two generally parallel channels spaced to accommodate the two parallel edges of the slot, the channels having a thickness greater than q, the span of the wings being greater than r.

  • Patent number: 5485932
    Abstract: A wall or room partition mountable modular rail rack component mounting system. The system includes wall racks shaped for interlocking engagement with each other at their opposite ends and cross stiffener members for placement between the wall rails to hold them in rigid space apart relationship. The wall rails each having a shaped opening at one end and a mating element at the other end thereof. The shaped opening and the mating element interlock with each other. The dimensions and spacings of openings and elements on the wall rails and rail racks for mounting thereon provide for rail racks mounted in vertically aligned closely space relationship that gives uninterrupted rail rack placement.

  • Patent number: 5401193
    Abstract: Apparatus for patching cables includes a panel 10, FIG. 2 having a patch side for exposing patching connectors, and a punch-down side opposite the patch side for exposing punch-down terminals associated with the connectors. A bracket 12, FIG. 2 supports the panel in a vertical position with the patch side exposed to users. Pivots attach one edge of the panel to the bracket so that the panel can be tilted about the pivot into a position in which the patch side is no longer exposed to users and the punch-down side is exposed to users. There is a supporting surface 40, FIG. 2 for supporting the patch side, when tilted, sufficiently to permit punching down of wires on the punch-down side. The panel may include color coded marking on the patch side for classifying the connector application.

  • Patent number: 5333744
    Abstract: A modular system for supporting equipment on a wall has support panels. Each panel includes a sheet having columns of keyholes, and a rear support surface lying in a plane parallel to and spaced behind the sheet. The rear support surface has keyholes near the top of the panel and fastener elements near the bottom of the panel. The fastener elements have the same spacing as the keyholes near the top of the panel. The fastener elements project from the plane of the rear support surface toward the front support surface to permit mating with keyholes near the top of another panel to be hung below it.

  • Patent number: 5148353
    Abstract: A mounting system for the installation of communication termination blocks and communication boxes ("system blocks") on a backplane substantially reduces space requirements for a communications center. The system includes a system block that quickly and removably mounts to a slot in a track. A locking slide either automatically or manually engages the block to hold it securely in place, both mechanically and electrically. Lifting the locking slide releases the block. The block includes an elongated hook that provides lateral support for the block during installation and removal to ensure proper mating of electrical conductors.
