Abstract: Verifying a customer premises connection to a communication system having a plurality of ports, each of which serves a corresponding customer premises. A known quantity of data is transmitted to an address corresponding to a specific customer premises. A quantity of data received at a first trial port of the plurality of ports is monitored. If the known quantity of data matches the monitored quantity of data received at the first trial port, then the customer premises connection to the first trial port is thereby verified. If the known quantity of data does not match the monitored quantity of data received at the first trial port, then quantity of data received at a second trial port of the plurality of ports is monitored and, if the known quantity of data matches the monitored quantity of data received at the second trial port, then the customer premises connection to the second trial port is thereby verified.
Abstract: The front cover of a transport refrigeration unit includes a plurality of hinged access doors, with each door being formed of a pair of spaced thermoplastic olefin sheets with their edges being bonded along the entire periphery of the door to form a hollow space between the sheets without a need for foam. The edges are bonded by a thermoforming process which provides strength and rigidity to the door. Additional thermoforming bonds are made at locations other than the periphery to provide further strength and rigidity. A ribbing structure is formed in one of the sheets and extends around the periphery thereof. Further ribbing may extend transversely across the sheet in non-peripheral positions.

Abstract: Compact graphical representations of common test fail signatures and process related test fails are provided through methods of selecting, calculating and/or presenting information. The input may be a list of failing tests on a sample of devices under test from chip and/or wafer process fails. The failing tests are identified and then other tests that fail at the same time may be identified. Several graphical outputs are provided, including all possible combinations between test fails and between test fails and process fails. The dependencies are printed as sorted two dimensional bitmaps that are compact representations of the results using color codes. Subtraction of two independent bitmaps is provided, which eliminates common properties and emphasizes differences between multiple bitmaps which allows for quick identification of differences of process fails potentially different between the two different bitmaps indicating potential root causes for the selected one of the test fails.
