Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a wiring device and an insert clip or attachment member that can be preassembled to provide quick connection to an electrical box, mud ring or other support structure having an aperture with a dimension to receive the clip member. The clip member couples to the mounting screws of the wiring device and is snapped into an aperture or recess in a mud ring. The clip has outwardly projecting tabs engaging the mud ring and inwardly extending tabs engaging the mounting screws. The tabs allow the mounting screws to be pressed into the clip in a sliding manner and allow the clip to snap into the aperture in the mud ring. In another embodiment, the attachment member has a substantially C-shape having an open side that can slide onto a pair of projections on an inner edge of a mud ring for supporting the electrical device.

The clip member can couple to the mounting screws of the working device and can be snapped into an aperture in a mud ring to align the screws with the threaded holes in the electrical box. The clip has a U-shape with outwardly projecting tabs that engage the aperture in the mud ring and inwardly extending tabs that engage the mounting screws of the wiring device. The tabs allow the mounting screws to be pressed into the clip in a sliding or ratcheting manner and allow the clip to snap into the aperture in the mud ring.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting path failure in a network are described. The system and method include a network interface which receives packets over particular connections, and an agent able to monitor the network interface and start a no-traffic timer for each particular connection when a packet is received on the connection. The agent is further able, when the no-traffic timer expires, to check for outgoing data on the particular connection, and compare a count of previously sent test packets against a limit. If the count is below the limit the agent sends a new test packet on the particular connection, the test packet provides an indication of the state of a network path associated with the particular connection. If the count is above the limit the agent initiates failover procedures for the associated path.

Abstract: A data structure according to the invention is created in memory of a computer for storing data objects for access by a computer application that is executed by the computer. Each of the data objects is associated with a key. The data structure includes a root node object. Additional node objects are added to the root node object based on the characters in the key. The depth of the data structure is equal to the number of characters in the keys. The data structure is ideally suited for efficiently sorting the data objects.

Abstract: A system determines browser package and version compatibility of a web document by searching a document for computer language keywords. The system comprises keyword memory storing a first set of keywords corresponding to a computer language not executable by a browser package, a search engine coupled to the keyword memory for searching a web document for keywords, and an inspection engine coupled to the search engine for controlling the search engine to search the web document for the first set of keywords. The keywords used for determining browser package compatibility include keywords not executable by the browser package and executable by other browser packages. The keywords used for determining browser version compatibility include keywords specific to a version. Accordingly, the inspection engine may first test for compatibility with the latest version and may work its way downward.

Abstract: A method for controlling or inhibiting the deposition of pitch derived from aqueous pulp suspensions having a neutral or cationic soluble charge onto paper machine equipment surfaces which contact the pulp, comprising a) contacting the pulp with an anionic polymer in an amount sufficient to maintain an anionic charge in the pulp and b) contacting the paper machine equipment surfaces with a cationic polymer in an amount sufficient to inhibit the deposition of pitch deposits thereon.

Abstract: An integrating processor element containing a data processor that provides a computer with those functions normally associated with the Central Processor Unit (CPU) but which possesses architectural features to prevent compromise (i.e., unauthorized dissemination) of data in a multi-level secure environment. The data processor executes instructions from an internal instruction memory which cannot be altered by the data processor and cannot be accessed by the I/O processor (i.e., I/O controller). The instruction memory is segmented providing a separate segment for each discrete level of secure data to be processed. Each computer program is stored in the segment corresponding to the highest level of security of the data it will use. A second memory, called the hand-off memory, is a read/write memory accessible by the I/O processor as well as the data processor. The hand-off memory is also segmented by security level.

Abstract: An integrating Input/Output (I/O) element containing an I/O processor that provides a computer with those functions normally associated with an I/O processor (or I/O controller) but which possesses architectural features to prevent compromise (i.e., unauthorized dissemination) of data in a multi-level secure environment. The I/O processor is programmable via an internal instruction memory which cannot be altered by the I/O processor and which cannot be accessed by any other portion of the computer (i.e., Central Processor Unit). The instruction memory is segmented providing a separate segment for each I/O channel. The instructions used to control each I/O channel are stored within the segment of instruction memory allocated to that I/O channel. A secondary memory, called the hand-off memory, is a read/write memory accessible by the Central Processor Unit (CPU) as well as the I/O processor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously monitoring and controlling the composition of a stream of milk is disclosed. A portion of the continuous stream of milk is heated and coupled to a vacuum degasser where the gas in the milk is removed. A portion of the milk is then heated to 45.degree. C. and conveyed to a sound velocity test cell. A second portion of the milk is heated to 65.degree. C. and conveyed to a second sound velocity test cell. The rate at which a sound pulse traverses the milk in each of the cells is determined by determining the frequency with which the pulses traverse the milk in each of the test cells. The resulting frequency is proportional to the velocity of sound through the milk. The frequency values are coupled to a computer wherein two simultaneous linear equations are solved to arrive at the percent fat and the percent solids-not-fat in the milk.
