Abstract: A network management system and graphical user interface for configuring a network connection between first and second service access points utilizes a configuration manager and information manager to provide a generic set of models so that different manufacturer's nodal processors and other network hardware can be inserted into the network with minimal changes to the software which controls the device. The system comprises an information manager including routing information for the network. The configuration manager operates to establish a connection across each subnet on the route by sending requests to element managers to program the subnet elements.

Abstract: A body harness to be worn by a driver of an automotive vehicle with the harness being secured to a portion of the vehicle above a point to the rear of the driver's head to lift the body of the device slightly off the seat and thus relieve pressure on the lower end of the spine or tailbone that could normally result from extended sitting. The harness includes a girth encircling member or belt that is secureable around the body of the wearer. A pair of shoulder straps are secured to a medial portion of the belt, cross along the back of the wearer, and are secureable to buckles or the like on the front of the belt as worn. A vertical strap is secured to the shoulder straps at the crossing point of same and extends upwardly therefrom to be secureable at the top of the vehicle or the like and thus support the wearer, reducing pressure on the tailbone during use.
