Abstract: A non-corrosive mounting bracket includes first and second members that have L-shapes and include horizontal and vertical portions defining a 90 degree elbow. The first member vertical portion is abutted against a post's rear surface and has a fastener assembly attached thereto. The fastener assembly includes a bolt and wing nut. The second member's vertical portion is abutted against the post's front surface, and the horizontal portion extends rearward along the post and travels parallel to the first member horizontal portion. The second member horizontal portion has a slot so that the fastener assembly is slidably positionable along the slot. L-shaped fingers are formed with the second member and protrude forwardly away from the post for receiving select portions of the feed bucket so that the bucket is maintained at a static position during feeding procedures.

Abstract: A (DS3) network interface unit (NIU) by-pass architecture places the NIU on its own circuit card and exclusive of by-pass switching (and relay) components, which are installed in the equipment shelf, proper, so that physical removal of the NIU card will leave the by-pass circuitry intact. The by-pass circuit responds to an abnormality of the NIU card, such as malfunction or physical removal of the NIU from its card slot, and also to a power supply failure. It also contains an indicator to draw attention to a failed NIU, increasing the likelihood that someone will notice a damaged card.
