Abstract: A container comprising an insert and a sleeve which encloses the insert is disclosed. A blank of resilient sheet material comprising a first, second, third and fourth sequential adjoining rectangular panels are folded along their three shared side edges to form the sleeve having a rectangular cross-section, with a locking tab adjoining the first rectangular panel. An insert having a rectangular cross-section slightly smaller than the sleeve cross-section, and a mating locking tab are configured such that when the front end of the insert is substantially inserted into the front end of the sleeve, the back edges of the sleeve locking tab and the insert locking tab abut one another such that the insert may be removed only upon application of pressure at opposed locations on the exterior of the sleeve to cause the sleeve to bow outward and away from the insert.

Abstract: Real and simulated (virtual) networks are interfaced with one another for carrying out hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing and evaluations. A simulated network is modeled at a workstation by running a network simulation or discrete event modeling tool on the workstation. A virtual gateway node is defined in the simulated network, and the gateway node is linked with a network adapter on the workstation. An external real network operating with Internet protocol (IP) is also linked with the adapter. The adapter and the gateway node are configured to (i) translate simulated data packets sent from nodes of the simulated network and designated for the real network, into IP data packets for routing or processing by the real network, and (ii) translate IP data packets sent from nodes of the real network and designated for the simulated network, into simulated data packets for muting or processing by the simulated network.
