Abstract: This disclosure is generally concerned with optical modules. In one example, an optical module provided that includes a pair of optical subassemblies, each of which includes a port housing within which a corresponding optical component is disposed. The optical module further includes a pair of electrically conductive elements configured to facilitate control of EMI. Each of the electrically conductive elements is disposed on a respective port housing such that a gap is present between the first and second electrically conductive elements and the first and second electrically conductive elements do not contact each other.

Abstract: Disclosed are nucleic acid primers, probes and standard target sequences that allow for the quantitative assessment of the SARS-CoV viral titer found in a biological specimen from a patient. Quantifying the viral titer in the patient sample allows the practitioner to make a prognostic determination of the severity of the SARS-CoV infection and the necessary treatment regime.

Abstract: A system and method for interfacing unified message processing systems with legacy voice mail, e-mail and facsimile systems, located behind corporate firewalls. The system includes a unified message server a proxy interface and a message protocol convertor. The proxy interface is configured to access the legacy system in response to a request from a unified message server. Messages stored on the legacy system are converted by a protocol convertor to a predetermined format compatible with the unified message server. The converted messages are then transferred to a unified message server which is capable of providing messages from different messaging system, such as voice mail, e-mail and facsimile to users in a predetermined format. The invention permits enterprise wide communication systems to provide unified messaging without abandoning pre-existing legacy messaging system.

Abstract: An optical module has port housing comprised of a material that does not substantially shield EMI, such as an optical plastic. The port housings have a receiving ferrule disposed in an aperture of an electrically conductive shell. The ferrule is movably coupled to the shell to permit it to respond to loads imposed by an optical fiber connector and includes an electrically conductive cap to shield a portion of the port housing proximate the ferrule.

Abstract: A method and system for processing messages in a unified messaging system. In particular, the system enables legacy e-mail, voice mail and facsimile systems to be integrated with a unified messaging system. The system includes a filter or mechanism which enables the user to filter certain message attributes such as the identification of the sender, recipient or the subject header or the message type to enable messages to be processed in accordance with the recipients wishes.

Abstract: A method and system for interfacing a legacy e-mail, voice mail and facsimile system into a unified messaging system. The system includes visual message notification for notifying a user of incoming messages. Visual notification may include a flashing light emitting diode and/or text messages. The text messages may include various characteristics of the waiting messages, such as identification of the sender, subject header, message type, time and date received and a like.

Abstract: A method and tool for storing source-code cross referencing information is disclosed. The source-code cross referencing information is stored within a B-tree. Preferably only global cross-reference information is contained within the B-tree. Records within the B-tree contain information about occurrences of variables within the source code. Keyed records of data are preferably stored within leaves of a B-tree having nodes of fixed size, with multiple records of varying size potentially stored within each leaf node. Records within each leaf node are preferably indexed by indexes stored within the node. Such a B-tree may be stored within a file on a computer readable medium such as a disk. Techniques of splitting nodes in the tree are also disclosed. Further, various techniques of extracting information from a formed B-tree are disclosed.
