Abstract: An identification tag is described that includes a tab portion having a unique identifier, an anchor portion, and a tether portion connecting the tab portion to the anchor portion. The anchor portion has a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive to secure the tag to one of a patch cable or a port disposed in a patch panel. In an exemplary aspect, the tag portion, anchor portion and the tether portion of the tag are formed as an integral structure. The unique identifier is a two-dimensional code, that is printed as an inverted image to provide improved network security and prevent reading of the unique identifiers by unapproved reading devices.

Abstract: Apparatus for telling time by aligning a plurality of partial images from time to time to form a composite image, including a motor having two or more concentric rotating output shafts rotating at different speeds. Each of the partial images is supported by one of the shafts. As a function of the relative rates of rotation of the shafts, all of the partial images become aligned from time to identifiable time to form the composite image. Each and every rotating disc in these examples is attached to a power driven shaft. This is a common concentric shaft with three differing powered rotations, one at sixty rotations per hour, another at two rotations per twenty-four hours, and the remaining one at 3600 rotations per hour. These rotating discs are identified respectively as the minute disc, the hour disc, and the secondhand disc and are attached to their respective individual shafts.
