Abstract: A microduct manifold fitting includes an end cap, a gasket, a plurality of microduct couplers, a bottom portion, a top portion, and an optical enclosure attachment mechanism. The microduct manifold has a plurality of microduct openings disposed at a lower end and one fiber opening disposed at an upper end. The upper end of the microduct manifold extends into an opening of an optical enclosure and the optical enclosure attachment mechanism secures and seals the top portion to the optical enclosure. The optical enclosure is disposed in an outside environment, and the enclosure receives and splits an outside plant cable to individual fibers. The fibers are extended through the fiber opening of the microduct manifold, through the individual microducts via the microduct couplers, and to various optical equipment within a building that desire network connectivity. The microduct manifold shields fibers within the optical enclosure and microducts from the outside environment.

Abstract: A distributed computing system includes several partitions that each contain a separate copy of shared resources that receive modifications via behaviors and transactions specified by a user. The transaction manager performs the requested behavior or transaction in parallel on each copy of the shared resources as indicated by a resource ID. This allows the distributed computing system to operate in parallel without competing for the same shared resource, avoiding deadlocks and race conditions. If a behavior or transaction fails while modifying a copy of a shared resource, the transaction manager prevents the behavior or transaction from modifying the remaining copies and preempts results from the failed behavior or transaction. The transaction manager reestablishes a consistent state across shared resources by rolling back the failed behavior or transaction, reverting each copy of the shared resources to its state prior to executing the behavior or transaction.
