Abstract: An exemplary projector includes a main body, a lens at a front of the main body and a lens barrier module positioned at the front of the main body for covering the lens when the projector is not in use or exposing the lens when the projector is in use. The lens barrier module includes a front bezel defining an opening aligned with the lens, a lens frame secured to a rear side of the front bezel and separated from the front bezel, and a lens cover slidably received between the front bezel and the lens frame. The lens frame defines an aperture aligned with the opening. The lens cover is positioned in a manner to selectively cover or uncover the lens.

Abstract: A route computation algorithm, a load-balancing scheme inside a router for making a hop-by-hop routing network (such as the Internet) nonblocking are described in this patent. The output of the route computation algorithm includes a set of link weights that determine the paths of the hop-by-hop routing network. The route computation algorithm and the load-balancing scheme also determine the ingress and egress traffic constraints at each edge router such that as long as the traffic entering and leaving the network does not exceed the constraints, none of the internal links will ever have traversing traffic more than its link capacity. The network is thus non-blocking internally. This greatly simplifies flow admission control and allows hard QoS to be supported inside the network.

Abstract: A distributed ethernet system including a plurality of switches, which switches are connected in sequence to form a ring, where after being synchronized in clock, each of the switches sequentially performs loop detection and protocol machine detection periodically according to a predetermined configuration, and sends a fault alarming message when a loop fault or a protocol machine fault occurs.

Abstract: A fault processing method based on industry Ethernet network, wherein exchanging devices in the network are connected by mutual redundant double links, wherein work link is in working state, the spare link is in spare state, and the method includes: detecting connection states of the double links between the exchanging devices in the network (201); switching the spare link to the work link when the work link is in fault state and the spare state is in connecting state (202). A fault processing system and exchanging device based on industry Ethernet network are further provided, which applies the ring structure of mutual redundant double links according to the invention, the network availability is ensured by switching to the spare link when multipoint faults appear in the network; and the time of fault recovery processing is reduced by switching between mutual redundant links.

Abstract: A locking system for an electronic device housing comprises a top plate, a movable cover pivotal about a first edge of the top plate, and a lateral plate connected to a second edge of the top plate which is perpendicular to the first edge. The top plate defines an opening near the second edge thereof. The locking system comprises a flexible lock-receiving portion, an engaging portion, a groove, and a disengaging member. The flexible lock-receiving portion protrudes from the top plate within the opening and has a protrusion extending downwardly. The engaging portion is formed on a surface of the movable cover and faces the opening. The groove is defined on the lateral plate corresponding to the opening. The disengaging member is inside the groove and protrudes to engage the protrusion.

Abstract: A method and system for computing the maximum amount of admissible ingress and egress traffic of each edge router of the MPLS core network is presented. As long as the ingress and egress traffic amounts are below the admissible amount limit, traffic routes through any link in the network will never exceeds the link capacity. A calculation scheme and a load-distribution scheme make an Internet MPLS backbone network non-blocking. The output of the route computation algorithm includes a set of paths for any source-destination pair and the load distribution ratios among the paths. The routing algorithm and the associated distribution scheme will determine how to balance the loads that meet the distribution requirements specified by the ratios computed from the route algorithm. This greatly simplifies call admission control and allows hard QoS to be supported in a large scale and cross domains in the Internet.
