Abstract: An automotive splash guard includes first and second molded pieces. The first molded piece has a shape configured to have at least a portion thereof installed outside an automobile wheel well, and the second molded piece has a shape configured to be installed in an automobile wheel well. The first piece has an exterior painted surface, the first piece is separate from the second piece while the first piece is being painted and is attached to the second piece after being painted by mechanical joining or adhering. A method for manufacturing a splash guard includes molding the first piece; molding the second piece; painting the first piece while it is separate from the second piece; and then attaching the second piece to the first piece.

Abstract: A fault region identification system adapted for use in a network, such as a storage area network (SAN), includes logic and/or program modules configured to identify errors that occur in the transmission of command, data and response packets between at least one host, switches and target devices on the network. The system maintains a count at each of a plurality of packet-receiving components of the network, the count indicating a number of CRC or other errors that have been detected by each component. The error counts are stored with the time of detection. The system alters the EOF (end-of-file) delimiter for each packet for which an error was counted such that other components ignore that packet, i.e. do not increment their error counts for that packet. Link segments adjacent single- or multiple-device components of the network are identified as fault regions, based upon the error counts of those components.
