US Classification:

370/241000, 375/224000

Abstract:

A self testable communications device () such as a cable modem, a system () of remotely distributed such devices () and the method () of testing. One or more cable modems () are connected to a distribution hub (). Each cable modem () includes a connection test initiator, such as a button () on the cable modem (), on a web page or, on a computer () desk top which is accessible from the particular cable modem (). When a test () is initiated by pressing or selecting the button (), the system () initiates diagnostics () to check the connection of the cable modem () to the distribution hub (). After the test () is complete, the cable modem user is provided with an automatic response indicating connection test

Appl. No.:

7/478914

Inventors:

Michael E. Patrick - Scottsdale AZ

International Classification:

A47G 2902

US Classification:

248248

Abstract:

A frame bracket for supporting shelf boards includes a rectangular vertically extending main surface. Extending vertically from a first end of the main surface are a plurality of equally spaced first legs. A first horizontally extending arm is located between adjacent first legs. Extending horizontally from a second end of the main surface are a plurality of equally spaced second arms adapted to support an end of a shelf board thereon. A second vertically extending leg is located between adjacent second arms; the second leg extends in a direction opposite from that of the first legs.

US Classification:

2989731

Abstract:

A method for constructing shelving includes the step of providing first and second shelf brackets. Each of the shelf brackets comprises a rectangular vertically extending main surface having a plurality of equally spaced first legs extending vertically from a first end of the main surface, the first legs have a rectangular shape and a length approximately equal to a standard board thickness, and a first horizontally extending arm is located between adjacent first legs. A plurality of equally spaced second arms extend horizontally from a second end of the main surface in the same direction as the first arms; the second arms are adapted to support one of two opposing end edges of a standard board thereon. A second vertically extending leg is located between adjacent second arms, the second leg extending in a direction opposite from that of the first legs; the second leg has a shape and length similar to that of the first leg. The first and second shelf brackets are placed against opposing walls, and opposing end edges of the standard board are placed on opposing second arms of the shelf brackets.

Abstract:

A system includes a plurality of sensors; a dynamically updateable rules engine coupled to the plurality of sensors; a data collection management module coupled to the dynamically updateable rules engine and the plurality of sensors; and a data storage and analysis inference module coupled to the data collection management module, the dynamically updateable rules engine and the plurality of sensors. Data from the plurality of sensors that is received by the dynamically updateable rules engine is transformed by the dynamically updateable rules engine by selectively executing rules based on conditions or events. The dynamically updateable rules engine is updated by the data storage and analysis inference module.
