  • Patent number: 6115825
    Abstract: A method for distributing synchronization in an optical communications network is disclosed. In order to keep costs to a minimum, the method consists of deploying requisite primary reference source (PRS) clocks only at those sites having access to more or less than two independent synchronization distribution paths (SDPs). PRS clocks are also preferably installed at sites located substantially far from a site already equipped with a PRS clock. As a result, a small number of PRS clocks end up being installed, leading to substantial cost savings for the telecommunications service provider. Subsequently, a building integrated timing supply (BITS) system is deployed at all sites comprising more than one network element. The BITS has two timing inputs, a primary and a secondary timing reference, selected from two of the accessible SDPs.

  • Patent number: 5176485
    Abstract: A freight manipulator includes a mobile chassis positioned on a pair of guide tracks and have an articulated cantilever boom extending forwardly thereof. A tool carriage is mounted at the end of the boom and has a pair of freight engaging tools thereon for engaging freight articles. The boom is connected to a two-axis gimbals at the rear of the chassis which allows swinging of the boom about a vertical axis and tilting of the boom about a horizontal tilt axis to increase the positioning range of the freight engaging tools. A boom bearing assembly at the front of the chassis supports the boom on the chassis during movement thereof. A pair of swing cylinders are connected to the chassis and have a chain connecting the ends of their rams to the bearing assembly. The swing cylinders work in opposition to swing the boom. A pair of boom tilt cylinders are connected between the bearing assembly and the boom and operate in unison to tilt the boom.
