Abstract: A system for automatically monitoring provisioning in a DSL network is disclosed. The system is operable to query network elements in the DSL network for information related to the provisioning of DSL services. Thereafter, the system analyzes the information to identify points of delay and/or failure in the provisioning process. If a delay exceeds a threshold value, an administrator is notified.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automatically maintaining identity relationships among disparate enterprise information systems. The apparatus comprises a synchronization hub comprising an identity relationship repository, a relationship service module, a consistency module, and an adjustment module. The relationship service is configured to access a target relationship entry using a unique key from a source business object, wherein the source business object is representative of changes made in a source enterprise information system. The various components and modules of the synchronization hub cooperate to determine identity relationships that need updating and to propagate identity relationship changes to one or more destination enterprise information servers.

Abstract: A data scrambler circuit which adds the SONET polynomial 1+X.sup.6 +X.sup.7 to data in a parallel format to thereby reduce circuitry clock rates to one-eighth the line rate, which reduces power consumption and simplifies timing constraints. A circuit embodiment includes a first series of flip-flops connected to generate the polynomial and a second series of flip-flops for holding the generated polynomial. To provide a relatively large window of time for looking at the data, parallel data is obtained by providing a parallel-to-parallel register at the output of a serial-to-parallel register. The parallel data is added to the held polynomial by a series of exclusive OR gates.

Abstract: Two generally semicylindrical halves are held by an O ring encircling them with generally diametral matching surfaces in engagement. Lugs projecting from the matching surfaces are engageable in sockets in the other matching surfaces to deter sliding of the halves parallel to the matching surfaces. The matching surfaces have transverse ridges and clearance so that pressing tail portions of the halves at one side of the ridges will spread head portions at the opposite side of the ridges into clamping engagement with the aperture of a freewheel core into which such head portions are fitted.
