Abstract: An energy transmission system comprising a pole, at least one wire, a sensing system coupled to the pole for monitoring pole temperature, dynamic pole loading, external impact on the pole, vibration of the pole, and wires that are downed, at least one line sensor coupled to the wire and at least one powered data integrator. The sensing system comprises at least one dynamic pole loading sensor and a three-dimensional accelerometer. The dynamic pole loading sensor can be coupled to the lower portion of the pole above ground level but not more than 10 feet above ground level. Optionally there are two dynamic pole loading sensors, the first sensor having a longitudinal axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the pole, and the second sensor having a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pole.

Abstract: Apparatus, method, and storage medium for testing a network. A network card may include four transmit engines and four receive engines to respectively generate and process packets at a data rate of 10 GHz. The network card may be configured in a first mode to also include four 10 GHz network interface units coupled to respective ones of the four 10 GHz transmit engines and the four 10 GHz receive engines. The network card may be configured in a second mode to also include a coherent multiplexer to combine packets generated by the four 10 GHz transmit engines into test traffic at a 40 GHz data rate, a packet distribution engine to accept packets at a 40 GHz data rate and distribute the accepted packets between the four 10 GHz receive engines, and a 40 GHz network interface unit coupled to the coherent multiplexer and the packet distribution engine.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of generating a data flow and a high speed packet generator. A sequence of packets to be transmitted may be defined. Generation of each packet in the sequence may be assigned to a respective transmit engine selected from a plurality of transmit engines. The plurality of transmit engines may generate respective assigned packets in parallel. Packets generated by the plurality of transmit engines may be coherently interleaved in the defined sequence to form the data flow.
