Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing real-time fault management or real-time fault management system (“RFM”). In various embodiments, RFM may receive alerts from or associated with network devices (e.g., layer 2, 3, and/or 4 devices, or the like) that are disposed in a plurality of disparate networks that may utilize different alert management protocols and/or different fault management protocols. RFM may collect, enrich, normalize, aggregate, and display the alerts in a user interface to facilitate addressing of the alerts by a user. To enable continuous and real-time functionality, RFM may be implemented in a plurality of siloed platforms in a primary data center, with processing of alerts being load balanced across the siloed platforms, with mirrored group of siloed platforms in a secondary data center located geographically distant from the primary data center and configured to be on “hot standby” and to completely take over RFM processing operations.

Abstract: An electronic device having a housing with a shroud locator socket. There is a retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element passing through an aperture of the shroud locator socket, the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element being electrically connected to an electrical circuit located in the housing and being movable from a fully retracted position when substantially located in the housing to a fully extended position when substantially protruding outside the housing. An end cap is located on a free end of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element and there is a shroud having transverse ribs that are transverse to a longitudinal axis (X) of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element. The shroud covers a protected length (L) of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element proximal to the end cap.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus (100) for a mobile communication device includes a unitarily formed bracket (102) having side surfaces (104) with integrated lock washer functionality. Cantilevered beams (106, 108) are deflected outward from the side surfaces (104) forming a clearance (110) through which to receive a screw (210) for coupling the mobile communication device (302) to the bracket (102). The cantilevered beams (106, 108) minimize backward rotation of the screw (210) and provide compliancy between the bracket (102), the screw (210) and the mobile communication device (302).

Abstract: A mounting apparatus (100) includes a mobile communication device (102) having first and second integrated side rails (120, 122), and a unitarily molded bracket (104) having side surfaces (134) extending therefrom. The side surfaces (134) receive the mobile communication device (102) in either a vertical drop down mounting option (202) or a horizontal slide in mounting (204) option. The mobile communication device (102) includes first and second side rails (120, 122) that rest on top of the side surfaces (134) in the vertical drop down mounting mode (202). In the horizontal slide in mode (204), the side rails (120, 122) slide along flat surfaces (138) of side surfaces (134) and become engaged to engagement portions (136, 138, 140) of the side panels (142).

Abstract: An apparatus (100) for installation and removal of a mobile communication device (102) to and from a bracket (104), such as mounted in a vehicle, is provided. The apparatus (100) includes a handle (120) pivotably coupled (160) to the mobile communication device (102), the handle having first and second lever arms (122, 124). The apparatus (100) further includes a bracket (104) having first and second pivot point pins (130, 132) and a compliant member (144). During installation the handle (120) is pivoted in a first direction such that the first and second lever arms (122, 124) engage the first and second pivot point pins (130, 132), and the handle compresses the mobile communication device (102) into the compliant member (144) for retention. The lever arms (122, 124) disengage the pivot point pins (130, 132) as the handle (120) is pivoted in an opposite direction thereby releasing the mobile communication device (102) from the bracket (104).

Abstract: Plural information handling systems interface through a KVM switch with a DVI display with the KVM switch supporting selection of the information handling system providing display information to the display. A hotswap switch initiates a hotswap signal to the information handling system that is selected to provide display information to the display. Receipt of the hotswap signal at the information handling system results in the driver of the selected information handling system redetecting the display with a communication through the DDC channel and transfer of EDID information from the display to the selected information handling system so that the selected information handling system drives a desired display port, such as by sending display information through a TDMS channel instead of default VGA channel.

Abstract: A video display controller for controlling multiple display devices is disclosed. The video display controller includes a graphics processing unit that is adapted to receive input and transmit output to one or more display devices. The video display controller also includes a single display device connector in communication with the graphics processing unit. The video display controller is adapted to independently control a first display device and a second display device through the display device connector.

Abstract: A solid solder element (106), such as a solder perform, is attached onto a contact surface of interest (102), such as a heat sink using and adhesive material (104). Placement of the adhesive material overcomes alignment and registration issues that may interfere with good contact to components (108), such as transistors, during the manufacturing/assembly process, such as a reflow process.
