  • Synchronization system using redundant clock signals for equipment of a synchronous transport network
    Patent number: 7706413
    Abstract: A synchronization system (D) for equipment of a synchronous transport network comprises, firstly, a first synchronization module (MA) comprising i) a first submodule (SM1A) delivering a first intermediate clock signal derived from a first external reference clock signal or an internal reference clock signal, ii) a second submodule (SM2A) delivering a first main reference clock signal derived from the first intermediate clock signal or a second intermediate clock signal, and iii) a third submodule (SM3A) delivering a first output reference clock signal derived from the first main reference clock signal or a second main reference clock signal, and, secondly, a second synchronization module (MB) comprising i) a first submodule (SM1B) delivering the second intermediate clock signal derived from another first external reference clock signal and another internal reference clock signal, ii) a second submodule (SM2B) delivering the second main reference clock signal derived from the first or the second intermediate c

  • Servo damper control of airflow within an electronics chassis
    Patent number: 7688593
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and a system. The apparatus, in one embodiment, includes a chassis having one or more slots configured to hold circuit boards and a plenum coupled to the chassis. The apparatus, in this embodiment, further includes a fan assembly coupled to the plenum and configured to provide an airflow therethrough, and servo dampers associated with the one or more slots and configured to allocate a portion of the airflow to associated air paths.
