  • Patent number: 7424036
    Abstract: The present invention is a SONET payload processing system capable of handling virtual concatenation of SONET payloads. The payload processing system enables combinations of sub-frames, comprising an arbitrary number of virtual concatenation data streams, to be multiplexed into a single SONET frame stream. The present invention further provides a processing system that is not limited by the number of sub-frames or the grouping arrangement. The payload processing system accepts both virtual concatenation and contiguous concatenation within the same SONET frame stream and processes them into blocks of data that do not intermix information from different channels.

  • Publication number: 20080179336
    Abstract: A reusable plastic container for delivery products, such as a dairy crate, a bakery tray, a beverage crate or a produce tray, is formed of a composition including a plastic resin and an electrically conductive or magnetic material distributed substantially uniformly throughout the plastic resin. The electrically conductive or magnetic material can be carbonyl iron powder in an amount between about 0.25% and about 2.0% of the composition by weight. The powder is distributed throughout the container and is detectable by an electromagnetic detection apparatus for screening plastic materials for regrinding. The container has a notice affixed to it, which indicates that the container includes the electrically conductive or magnetic material and that discourages regrinding of the container.
