Abstract: A Distributed Memory Computing Environment (herein called “DMCE”) architecture and implementation is disclosed in which any computer equipped with a memory agent can borrow memory from other computer(s) equipped with a memory server on a distributed network. A memory backup and recovery as an optional subsystem of the Distributed Memory Computing system is also disclosed. A Network Attached Memory (herein called “NAM” or “NAM Box” or “NAM Server”) appliance is disclosed as a dedicated memory-sharing device attached to a network. A Memory Area Network (herein called “MAN”) is further disclosed, such a network is a network of memory device(s) or memory server(s) which provide memory sharing service to memory-demanding computer(s) or the like, when one memory device or memory server fails, its service will seamlessly transfer to other memory device(s) or memory server(s).

Abstract: A modular interface connection system having a receiver and a test adapter. The receiver includes a non-circular torsion shaft for providing improved strength and ease of assembly and a cover for providing safety. The test adapter has a frame, a shield, and one or more bushings, which provides easy access to contacts, patchcords and modules in the test adapter for troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance.

Abstract: A method and system for creating and searching a central linked list comprising a parent node which is situated at the center of a plurality of child nodes. Each child node has two double linked list pointers. One pointer points to the next child node, and the other pointer points to the parent node. Thus, matched data obtained at several child nodes moves immediately back to the parent simultaneously. The parent node contains the memory address and name of central linked list, a description of central linked list, and a description of the relationship between other parent nodes, as well as the relationship between each child node to its specific parent node. Each child node contains a node address, an attribute comprised of some or all of the stored data field and a link to the full data content that may reside on a file or in a database. Memory storage of the structure information is stored in system memory, such as, RAM.
