  • Publication number: 20230313527
    Abstract: A pre-assembled internal frame for a modular wall comprises a pair of vertical frame members. Each first flange of the vertical frame member has a pair of series of vertically arranged mounting openings, and each second flange has a single series. The vertical frame members are oriented to enable the frame to be arranged in an end to end junction with another frame with adjacent vertical frame members thereof abutting. This provides three of the series of vertically arranged openings on each side of the modular wall at the end to end junction. A fastener is positioned in a fastener receiving portion for fastening the horizontal frame member to the vertical frame members. The fastener receiving portions are recessed laterally inwardly from the first and second web sections for avoiding interference between adjacent fasteners when the frame is arranged in the end to end junction with another such frame.

  • Publication number: 20230185681
    Abstract: A fault tolerant computer system and method are disclosed. The system may include a plurality of CPU nodes, each including: a processor and a memory; at least two IO domains, wherein at least one of the IO domains is designated an active IO domain performing communication functions for the active CPU nodes; and a switching fabric connecting each CPU node to each IO domain. One CPU node is designated a standby CPU node and the remainder are designated as active CPU nodes. If a failure, a beginning of a failure, or a predicted failure occurs in an active node, the state and memory of the active CPU node are transferred to the standby CPU node which becomes the new active CPU node. If a failure occurs in an active IO domain, the communication functions performed by the failing active IO domain are transferred to the other IO domain.
