Abstract: A snowmobile warning and control method for a snowmobile having an engine and a brake system, including: sensing a temperature of the brake system of the vehicle; determining that the temperature of the brake system is above a first predetermined temperature threshold; issuing a first brake-system temperature warning in response to the temperature of the brake system exceeding the first predetermined temperature threshold; determining that the temperature of the brake system is above a second predetermined temperature, the second predetermined temperature being greater than the first predetermined temperature; issuing a second brake-system temperature warning in response to the temperature of the brake system exceeding the second predetermined temperature threshold; and modifying an operation of the engine in response to the temperature of the brake system exceeding the second predetermined temperature threshold.

The first portion also includes a second portion may include a second material, said first material stiffer than the second material. The portion also includes a joint formed between the first portion and the second portion.

Abstract: A snowmobile ice scratcher has a wire form in the shape of a hook secured to a track frame of the snowmobile. The wire form has a coil portion at the track frame and a downwardly extending leg portion that in an undeflected position has an elongate snow/ice spray generating portion configured as a flattened wire segment portion oriented downwardly, forwardly, and inwardly for generating snow/ice spray on hard packed snow and/or ice surfaces. An upwardly facing flat surface of the elongate snow/ice spray generating portion faces upwardly, inwardly, and forwardly and creates an ice/snow spray as the snowmobile is moving forward that is primarily directed inwardly to provide improved lubrication of the track assembly and improved deposition of ice/snow spray under the tunnel on a heat exchanger, thereby providing improved cooling of the snowmobile engine. The hook shape of the leg portion allows rearward operation of the snowmobile without damage to the ice scratcher.

Abstract: An Ethernet SAN system includes an initiator device and a target device coupled together by an Ethernet fabric that includes a plurality of Ethernet switch devices. The Ethernet switch devices exchange L2 FIP domain exchange multicast frames that include domain information associated with each of the Ethernet switch devices. That domain information is then used to exchange L2 FIP path exchange multicast frames that include path information associated with each of the Ethernet switch devices. That path information is then used to calculate path costs associated with at least some of the Ethernet switch devices. Those path costs are then used to exchange L2 FIP device exchange unicast frames that include device information associated with the initiator device and the target device. The Ethernet switch devices then transmit data between the initiator device and the target device based on the device information and the path costs.

Abstract: An integrated storage/SAN monitoring and control system includes a storage device, a switch device associated with an API, and a management system. The switch device receives storage device information from the storage device via an API call using the API, and transmits the storage device information and switch device information to the management system via an API call using the API. The management system receives the storage device information and the switch device information from the switch device, determines storage device control instruction(s) and switch device control instruction(s) using the storage device information and the switch device information, and transmits the storage device control instruction(s) and switch device control instruction(s) to the switch device via an API call using the API. The switch device then executes the switch device instruction and transmits the storage device instruction to the storage device for execution via an API call using the API.

Abstract: A FC system includes an FC switch that receives local device FLOGIs that identify local devices through a first subset of ports, and provides a local address in a mapping database for each of the identified local devices. The FC switch then transmits an FC switch FLOGI using a second subset of ports through which no local device fabric login was received, and determines whether a FLOGI ACC has been received back. If a FLOGI ACC is received, the FC switch provides a fabric address in the mapping database for each of the identified local devices, and uses the local addresses/fabric addresses for each respective identified local device to provide communications between the identified local devices and an FC fabric. If no fabric login acceptance is received, the FC networking device uses the local addresses for respective identified local devices to provide communications between the identified local devices.

Abstract: A managed boot process system includes a management device coupled to a networking device through a network. The networking device includes a storage system with an assured boot image, a plurality of runtime images, and a plurality of session data, and a memory system having boot instructions. A processing system in the networking device stores the plurality of session details in the storage system during a management session with the management device and prior to a reboot. The processing system then performs a reboot and executes the boot instructions to load the assured boot image. The networking device then uses the session details to restart the management session without reauthorization subsequent to loading the assured boot image and prior to loading a runtime image. The networking device then provides a graphical user interface over the network to the management device and uses it to receive a management instruction for execution.

Abstract: A network flow management system includes controllers that are each coupled to a subset of switch devices, and a flow management server system that is coupled to each of the controllers. The flow management server system collects first-level flow information for the switch devices from the controllers, and filters and structures the first-level flow information to generate second-level flow information. The flow management server system then analyzes the second-level flow information based on current flow operation policies that are configured to cause the switch devices to perform first flow operations and, in response, determines flow operation policy changes. The flow management server system then distributes updated flow operation policies that includes the flow operation policy changes to each of the controllers, where the updated flow operation policies cause the switch devices to perform second flow operation that are different than the first flow operations.

Abstract: An Ethernet switch includes an Ethernet processing system. Layer two (L2) forwarding tables are provided with the Ethernet processing system, and a memory system is coupled to the Ethernet processing system and includes Ethernet processing system software. A control subsystem establishes communication with the Ethernet processing system and modifies the L2 forwarding tables by removing default Ethernet entries, adding Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) formatted FC well know addresses (WKAs), and setting the one or more L2 forwarding tables to remain persistent. The control subsystem also instructs the Ethernet processing system to forward FC control frames to the control subsystem, and replaces first link state instructions in the Ethernet processing system software with second link state instructions to change Ethernet behavior to FC behavior. The control subsystem may then process FC information in received FCoE format Ethernet frames.
