  • Patent number: 5276440
    Abstract: A network has a plurality of devices connected together in pairs. When a physical connection between a pair of devices is initiated, the devices exchange information regarding a unique device identifier, and details of the physical connection. This information is provided in a report to a network manager. When a failure occurs on the network, the connection information is used to locate the failure.

  • Patent number: 4937825
    Abstract: Data communications neworks may be composed of many different physical devices linked together in various layers and using various protocols for communication. The multiple physical elements that make up such communication networks or links are often supplied by diverse vendors. As a result, isolation and diagnosis of communication failures becomes an extremely difficult and cumbersome process. The present system and method simplify the process greatly by premitting a system control operator or control application program to issue generic, non-device-specific problem isolation, control or diagnostic commands to the communication neetwork by identifying the link and target node for which problem isolation and diagnosis is required.

  • Patent number: 4223809
    Abstract: A wall or table-mounted cream or paste dispensing device which includes a mounting base and a cooperating brush holder and cover and further characterized by a travelling carriage which is fitted with a roller to effect collapse of a toothpaste or other cream-containing tube, which roller is constrained to move downwardly against the tube in discrete increments by activation of a lever and pull chain combination. The carriage travels on the chain responsive to manipulation of the lever, and paste or cream is dispensed in controlled quantities from a nozzle communicating with the compressed tube.
