Abstract: An apparatus and system for locating a mooring in a field of moorings is provided. The system includes a receiver either releasably attached to or integrally formed with a mooring, and a remote transmitter. The receiver is configured to include one or more visual and/or audible indicators. In other implementations, the receiver is configured to detect the user's boat when the boat is within a predetermined vicinity of the mooring and automatically activate its indicators in response to the vicinity detector.

Abstract: Ethernet Alarm Indication Signal (ETH-AIS) information for multiple Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) is consolidated and distributed to the multiple VLANs in a single Ethernet frame. Note, as used herein, “Alarm Indication Signal (ETH-AIS)” refers to an IEEE 802.x or ITU-T Y.1731 Ethernet Alarm Indication Signal. A device receiving the Ethernet frame with the consolidated ETH-AIS information typically forwards the frame out each port that communicates traffic for one of the VLANs included in the consolidated ETH-AIS information.

Abstract: An endpoint for determining a frame loss ratio is provided. The endpoint includes a processor and a memory coupled with the processor. The memory stores instructions that are executable to generate a number of synthetic frames, and insert the number of synthetic frames into a stream of data frames, the synthetic frames being transmitted to a responder endpoint address designated in the synthetic frames. The memory may also store instructions that are executable to determine a number of lost synthetic frames; and calculate a synthetic frame loss ratio as a function of the number of lost synthetic frames and the number of synthetic frames inserted into the stream of data frames.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a processing system with a radio output, another processing system with a radio output, and a radio selector operable to couple an antenna to a selected one of the radios. A radio selector board includes a radio, a selector switch with an input terminal coupled to the radio, another input terminal coupleable to another radio, a control input coupleable to a control module, and an output coupleable to an antenna. In response to a control signal from the control module, the selector switch connects the first radio to the antenna, and in response to another control signal, the selector switch connects the other radio to the antenna.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an apparatus comprising a physical layer processing device that comprises logic configured to process a packet received from a physical layer interface is disclosed. The physical layer processing device logic is further configured to determine a preamble portion of the packet and a data portion of the packet. The physical layer processing device logic is further configured to insert a timestamp into the preamble portion of the packet. The physical layer processing device logic forwards the packet with the timestamp inserted into the preamble.

Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided for clustering and visualization of an n-dimensional space in a Euclidean space. The method includes: collecting a plurality of multi-dimensional data sets; estimating a probability density function from each data set; approximating a dissimilarity between every pair of said probability density functions and recording every dissimilarity in a dissimilarity matrix; embedding the dissimilarity matrix into a Euclidean space having a dimensionality of three or less using a multi-dimensional scaling method; and graphically displaying relationships between data sets using data in the Euclidean space on a display of a computing device.

Abstract: In a method and system for identifying an antenna, an antenna identifier is coupled to the antenna. The antenna identifier is a memory device that stores at least one attribute to identify the antenna. The antenna includes an electromagnetic radiation element coupled to a signal port and a coupling device coupled in-between the signal port and the antenna identifier. A data signal received at the signal port is isolated by the coupling device and provided to the antenna identifier. The data signal is provided by a radio device and/or an information handling system (IHS) coupled to the antenna via the signal port. The radio device and/or the IHS is operable to read one or more values for the at least one attribute stored in the antenna identifier.

Abstract: A solution is provided wherein physical link parameters may be negotiated after a link is brought up by having the two devices involved in the link exchange identifiers when the link is initially brought up. These identifiers may be saved in the devices and then utilized upon receipt of subsequent physical link parameter negotiation packets to ensure that these packets are received by a partner who is connected via a physical link.

Abstract: A combination antenna provides a common structure to combine a first electromagnetic radiation element and a second electromagnetic radiation element. The first electromagnetic radiation element and the second electromagnetic radiation element are tuned to operate independently and simultaneously over a first and second frequency band respectively. The common structure, which includes a common antenna structure, a common mounting structure and a common ground structure, saves space compared to a combined space occupied by the first electromagnetic radiation element and the second electromagnetic radiation element mounted separately as independent antennas.

Abstract: A process for the reliable distribution of a shortcut table for layer 3 switching is distributed from a plurality of routers to a plurality of switches includes the transmission by the router of a list of shortcut entries, which includes a list of switches which have acknowledged receipt of this list of shortcut entries. The transmission of these database messages continues until all target switches have acknowledged receipt of the database messages. The interval between transmission of database messages is short until all switches have acknowledged reception of such database messages, and thereafter the interval between transmissions is lengthened, and a hello message is sent until a new switch is added to the network, or a change in router shortcut database occurs, whereafter the transmission of database messages is resumed utilizing the interval between these transmissions is again shortened until all such messages have been acknowledged.
