Abstract: Network topology is inferred by (a) determining which non-interconnect devices are visible to each adapter in the network; (b) determining sets of adapters having visibility to identical sets of non-interconnect devices; (c) for each set of adapters having more than one adapter, associating an interconnect device to the set and assigning links to the associated interconnect device from the adapters; (d) obtaining a list of non-interconnect devices in the network excluding non-interconnect devices already having satisfied visibilities; (e) for each visible non-interconnect device in the list of all non-interconnect devices, finding an adapter not already linked to the non-interconnect device having visibility to the non-interconnect device, and assigning a link between the non-interconnect device and an interconnect device assigned to the found adapter or directly between the found adapter and the non-interconnect device; and (f) iterating steps (d) and (e) until visibility of each adapter is satisfied.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thrust recovery valve that is less expensive and lighter weight while maintaining required system safety. It utilizes valve doors made partially of plastic material and uses aluminum structure on the outer surface of the door, with a main structure made from fiber reinforced plastic material. The structure of the door is made from injection molded, fiber-reinforced plastic, called the “insert” having complex geometric features including the aerodynamic inner surface, the sculpted hollow inner surfaces for weight savings, and grooves required to hold seals and energizing springs. The “plate”, shaped to match the airplane skin contour, provides reinforcing structure on the external surface of the airplane.

Abstract: A system for displaying an external view of a vehicle is provided. The system may comprise a video camera for capturing images external to the vehicle and a display for displaying the images for the vehicle operator. The camera is powered by electrically connecting it to the reverse lamp power line and is operable to continuously capture images when powered. The camera may be mounted in a license plate frame to further simplify installation. The camera may communicate with the display through a wireless connection. The receiver and display may be mounted in the field of view of the vehicle operator, such as on the dashboard of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system for managing attribute data provides reference characters to define attribute strings, and thereby provide compressed attribute data. The reference characters may be configured in a tree structure with the reference characters repeatable and configured in parallel resizeable arrays to define attribute data, for example, XML attribute tags. A translation table is provided for use in translating the reference characters associated with the attribute strings. A management server in connection with a user interface provides for management of network resources, including storage devices, associated with the attribute data. The storage devices may be configured to include logical units, with the reference characters repeated and used to represent redundant strings in the different logical units.

Abstract: A computerized method for managing a storage area network (SAN) including a SAN manager associated with a storage area mapping (SAM) module. The method includes displaying, in a first window of a graphical user interface (GUI), any mapped devices, and displaying, in a second window of the GUI, any unmapped devices. A user can supplement a topology map selectively and incrementally, using inferred link information and/or user-supplied information to include additional devices in the map.

Abstract: Producing both colored and noncolored lightweight aggregates. The processes involve mixing a lightweight fine material such as ash with cement, and optionally pigment, then agglomerating the mixture, curing, and sizing the lightweight aggregate. Calcium stearate is added to the lightweight aggregate for reducing the moisture permeability of the lightweight aggregate end product. The colored and noncolored lightweight aggregate may be used in a variety of ways such as to provide a lightweight concrete mix with the same exterior and interior color, and for other asphalt pavement, geotechnical, horticulture, and specialty uses.

Abstract: A storage area network (SAN) management system for a computer network includes at least one SAN with a plurality of devices. A computer communicates with the SAN. A SAN manager is associated with the computer. A discovery module automatically discovers the devices and links between the devices. A storage area mapping (SAM) module graphically represents the devices of the SAN and links between the devices. The SAM module allows an operator to add a link between the devices, to remove a link between the devices and/or to move a link between the devices.

Abstract: A center partition or center beam railroad freight car with a bulkhead at each end and a depressed cargo-carrying floor located on each side of the center beam in an intermediate portion of the car located between respective end portions of the car having higher floors. A wide bottom plate of the center sill in the intermediate portion of the car is included as a part of the depressed cargo-carrying floor, and crossbearers are attached to the bottom of the center sill, extending laterally to side sills in the intermediate section of the car to support floor sheets that extend laterally outward from the bottom plate of the center sill. Longitudinal stringers are attached to the underside of the bottom plate of the center sill between the crossbearers. A body bolster has arms that extend diagonally upward and outward to side sills supporting the higher floors in the end portions of the car.

Abstract: A fully protective multi-unit railroad freight car for carrying motor vehicles on two or three levels with the lowest level being in a cargo well between a pair of deep side sills. A pair of vehicle-carrying decks are adjustable in height and are counterbalanced against each other during adjustment of their locations. A roof structure is light in weight and constructed of corrugated sheet metal with a self-supporting central portion. The ends of the car are equipped with three-panel folding doors, and a flexible diaphragm closes the space between articulated adjacent car units supported by a shared truck. A modular brake operating system is mounted on the car body. A hinge for a bridge for use in loading the car is adjustable to a stowage position in an edge of a deck.

Abstract: A loader parking stand system includes a pair of stands mounted to the torque tube interconnecting a pair of boom arms of the loader. The connection of each stand to the torque tube is effected by inserting a connecting pin, defining the upper end of the stand, into a cylindrical receptacle projecting upwardly into and being welded to the torque tube, the receptacle being nearly vertical when the loader is disposed in an attitude for being parked. Each stand includes a latch mechanism located entirely inside the torque tube and being manually operable for selectively releasing the stand for permitting it to be swivelled through 180.degree. between its stored and park positions.
