Abstract: An adaptable equipment mounting platform in a vehicle application wherein a fixed equipment configuration is to be secured therein to provide a mobile use configuration. A universal mounting frame having multiple fixed vehicle mounting points that conform to the vehicle's required safe drill access areas provides correspondingly adjustable equipment attachment fasteners. The mounting frame therefore allows for a variety of different equipment configurations to be installed in a commercial vehicle that heretofore were unavailable due to their structural design that limited the areas in which safe mounting could occur.

Abstract: A communications jack assembly includes: a jack frame having a plug aperture; a dielectric mounting substrate attached to the jack frame; and a plurality of conductors engaged with the mounting substrate, each of the conductors including a fixed end portion mounted with the mounting substrate and a free end portion extending into the plug aperture for electrical contact with a mating plug, each of the free end portions having substantially the same profile and being substantially transversely aligned in side-by-side relationship. A first pair of conductors is sandwiched inside a second pair of conductors. The second pair of conductors includes a crossover, the positioning of crossover being selected to provide differential to common mode crosstalk compensation.

Abstract: A jack assembly for use with a modular electrical plug includes a jack housing. The jack housing includes an electrically non-conductive substrate metallized with a metal shield layer. The jack housing defines a socket adapted to receive the plug. At least one electrical contact is positioned in the socket to engage the plug when the plug is inserted in the socket. An electrically conductive jumper member including a drain wire connector may be mounted on the jack housing. The drain wire connector includes a pair of connector tabs defining a slot therebetween to receive and hold the drain wire.

Abstract: A hierarchical structure of representatives is built. A request for a new representative to be added as a new level to the hierarchical structure of representatives is received. The new representative is provided with a data structure corresponding to a portion of the hierarchical structure above the new level. Reports are received from the new level through the use of the data structure. Tabulation of results from the reports from the new representative is possible. Comparison of results from the reports from the new representative with the expected results are also possible.
