Abstract: A remote management card is associated with a server and connected to a Network File System (NFS) server storing files. The remote management card is configured to locate a file or image on a network. The associated server my then access the files on the NFS server, facilitating the installation of an operating system or accessing another desired file.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the automated testing of applications using an application independent GUI map are disclosed. A method includes receiving a command to change a physical description of an object of a general class in the GUI map. A physical description of the object of general class is changed in the GUI map to correspond to a specific object in a particular application. A request is received to identify the specific object in the particular application using a physical description of the specific object. The specific object is associated with the physical description of the specific object. Access is provided to the physical description of the specific object.

Abstract: An apparatus for a diaphragm pump and a method for transporting at least a portion of a latex and/or a latex drag reducer through a diaphragm pump are disclosed. A method for reducing the pressure drop associated with flowing a hydrocarbon-containing fluid through a pipeline also is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for in situ inspection of optical ports for occlusions that might impede an optical signal. The present invention utilizes a mini-borescope of the type having a borescope insertion tube of less that two millimeters in diameter. The mini-borescope may utilize a video camera for capturing images of the target and adjustably magnifies the target image for display. In addition, one of a plurality of component type borescope-to-optical port adapters is coupled to the mini-borescope insertion tube. Each particular type borescope-to-optical port adapter allows the insertion tube to be inserted and aligned to a corresponding type of optical component, for instance if the BOPA is an SC-type male connector, then the insertion tube will be readily accepted by an SC-type female adapter. Also included in the BOPA is a protective sleeve that surrounds a portion of the mini-borescope insertion tube.
