Abstract: A system obtains productization data of systems that support productization of a software product for a telecommunications network. The system can identify enabling elements of a particular system, where the enabling elements are adjustable to change a productization process of the software product. The system can classify each enabling element based on a capability of the enabling element to affect performance of the software product or the telecommunications network. The system can create a computer model for productization of the software product based on the classified enabling elements. The system can simulate, based on the computer model, a change to the software product or the particular system and a resulting impact on the productization process of the software product. The system can generate a network interface to check and optimize productization of the software product or another product based on the same model.

Abstract: Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies for handling mini duplex connectors (MDC) including a rack-mountable chassis, independent sliding trays disposed in the chassis, and a plurality of MDC modules removably installable in the sliding trays. Each MDC module includes protruding features configured to interact with tray guides having corresponding features that permit vertical installation of the modules in the trays while preventing horizontal translation and rotational motion of the installed MDC modules. MDC modules may have various configuration, for instance MTP module, patching module and pre-terminated tailed module configurations. The assemblies and components disclosed herein maximize connections densities of MDC connectors while improving access thereto in high density applications.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods of filtering debris from the bottom nozzle of a nuclear reactor while minimizing loss coefficients are disclosed herein, including a debris filter bottom nozzle with a plate-like body, a plurality of flow passages, and a filter positioned within at least one flow passage, wherein the at least one flow passage has a dimension based at least in part on a predetermined loss coefficient of the at least one flow passage and a predetermined filtration capability of the filter.

Abstract: A debris filtering skirt configured for use with a flow plate of a bottom nozzle of a nuclear reactor is disclosed herein. The debris filtering skirt includes a base portion defining an opening between a bottom edge and a reactor vessel lower core plate, and the opening includes a dimension configured to position the bottom nozzle a predetermined distance away from the reactor vessel lower core plate. The debris filtering skirt also includes a plurality of holes, and at least one hole of the plurality of holes includes a dimension determined based, at least in part, on a predetermined size of debris capable of traversing through the inlet and the outlet. The dimension of the opening and the dimension of the at least one hole are determined based, at least in part, on a predetermined loss coefficient of the bottom nozzle.

Abstract: Fiber optic assemblies for receiving, managing and facilitating access to optical fiber connectors are disclosed. The assemblies include an adapter panel slidably mounted in a chassis and defining a plurality of receiving bays each for receiving at least one cassette containing an optical fiber adapter. Each cassette includes retention features for being received within paired openings in the adapter panel to register a position of the cassette relative to the receiving bay and adapter panel. Cassettes are independently and selectively accessible and removable from either the front or back of the adapter panel.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing a user to access enterprise resources comprising authentication devices and an authentication server. The authentication devices allow a user to enter authentication data. The authentication server is in communication with the authentication devices. The authentication server comprises a policy database storing a policy. The policy comprises guidelines including a first guideline establishes a qualification necessary for the user to access enterprise resources and a second guideline establishes a qualification necessary for the user to activate a silent signal. The authentication server is adapted to request assistance for the user if the silent signal is activated.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product that utilizes measurements for the authentication of users to enterprise resources. The system includes an authentication server that stores the engine and collections of data required by the system to authenticate users. The collections of data include templates, policies, groups, device IDS, user IDS, computer IDS and application IDS. In the present invention, it is the policies that determine the way or method in which a user is to be authenticated by the system. The pre-defined polices include an OR policy, an AND policy, a CONTINGENT policy, a RANDOM policy and a THRESHOLD policy, a multi-user policy, a multi-location policy, a multi-template policy, a user dependent policy, a location restriction policy, and a computer/device specific policy.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product that utilizes biometric measurements for the authentication of users to enterprise resources. The system includes a biometric server that stores the engine and collections of data required by the system to authenticate users. In the present invention, it is the biometric policies that determine the way or method in which a user is to be authenticated by the system. The execution of the biometric policies involves the use of one or more biometric templates. Biometric devices utilize a scientific technique to identify a user based on compared measurements of unique personal characteristics. These measurements, called biometric measurements, may include, but are not limited to, measurements of finger and hand geometry, retina and facial images, weight, DNA data, breath, voice, typing stroke and signature. The biometric policies of the present invention provide flexibility to the level of protection for individual enterprise resources.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an array of integrated circuit chips mounted on a substrate comprises a thermally conductive cooling plate which has a plurality of integral, substantially parallel, closed-end channels. A cover which may be made of plastic is adapted to seal the periphery of the cooling member and is spaced from the channel-containing surface. The cover has a plurality of integral baffles extending toward the cooling member into and along the length of the channels. The baffles and the channels are spaced from each other to permit passage of a coolant between and through the channels in a flow direction normal to the channels. An inlet and outlet for the coolant are provided on opposite ends of the apparatus, and may be located in the cover. In an alternate embodiment, the cooling plate contains at least two sets of the channels, each set of channels receiving a separate flow of coolant, either in parallel or in series with each other.
