  • Pressure differential sensor apparatus with high-visibility condition indicator
    Patent number: 11199464
    Abstract: An apparatus, having: a pressure differential sensor apparatus (100) configured to detect a pressure difference between two locations; a faceplate (102) having a base (104) and a protrusion (106) from the base, the protrusion comprising a light-transmissive perimeter (116) configured to transmit light forward and laterally; and a circuit board (400) having an indicator light (402) mounted thereon and configured to emit light into the light-transmissive perimeter, the indicator light further configured to emit a first color under first pressure difference conditions and a second color under second pressure difference conditions.

  • Method and apparatus for automatically populating a network simulator tool
    Patent number: 6014697
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for automatically populating a network simulation tool database with network topology and/or traffic information. A topology extraction tool is provided for reading the topology and traffic information in a network management system database, and translating this information into a matching data format required by the simulation tool database before writing the information to the simulation tool database. This automatic method avoids the time-consuming and error-prone prior art manual method of constructing a network model.
    Type: Grant
