Abstract: A belt housing assembly includes a first shaft with a first bearing that is mounted in a fixed bearing retainer and a second shaft with a second bearing mounted in a rotatable eccentric bearing retainer. A center of the second bearing is offset from a center of the eccentric bearing retainer. A distance between the first shaft and the second shaft is adjustable by rotating the eccentric bearing retainer. A method of adjusting a distance between a first sprocket attached to a first shaft of a drivetrain operatively interconnecting an engine to a ground engagement member of an all-terrain vehicle via a drive belt interconnected with a second sprocket attached to a second shaft of the drivetrain is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system for maximizing wavelength reuse in an optically protected wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) network, the WDM network supporting a plurality of service connections, includes associating service connections supported by non-overlapping paths to form respective service channel groups, and for each service channel group, assigning at least one common wavelength channel for establishing the service connections. In addition, for each of said groups, at least one common wavelength channel is assigned for establishing a shared protection path for the service connections of each of said groups. In addition, the wavelength channels assigned for establishing the shared protection paths for each of the groups may be used for providing service connections for the WDM network when not in use as shared protection paths. However such provisional service connections are dropped when the wavelength channels are needed to establish shared protection paths.
