  • Unified policy management for extensible virtual switches
    Patent number: 8797914
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media are described herein that configure a switch extension associated with a virtual switch with one or more settings. In response to the configuring, the systems, methods, and computer storage media persist the one or more settings and apply the persisted one or more settings to a target switch extension of a target virtual switch. The systems, methods, and computer storage media receive the settings through a management interface. Also, the systems, methods, and computer storage media receive requests for information associated with the switch extension and provide the switch extension information in response.

  • Coax-balun module
    Patent number: 8514582
    Abstract: A coax-balun module for converting from a balanced signal to an unbalanced signal includes a housing having a balun well adapted to receive a balun transformer. The module includes a printed circuit board electrically connected to a balun transformer and a threaded connector. The printed circuit board is further electrically connected to electrical conductors adapted to carry input signals. The housing is adapted to receive a potting material to seal the other components therein.
