Inventor: AKKALA MARC W
IPC: F24D18/00
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A potable water temperature management system (10) includes a device (26) that
produces waste heat and that has a primary purpose other than heating potable water.
The waste heat from the device (26) is used to heat potable water in a tank (14). A
heat shedding system (62) is activated when the temperature of the potable water in the
tank (14) exceeds a selected maximum temperature. An auxiliary energy transfer
system (54) may be activated to heat the potable water in the tank (14) when the
potable water in the tank (14) falls below a selected minimum temperature. A
controller (42) may be used to monitor the temperature of the potable water in the tank
(14) and activate either the heat shedding system (62) or the auxiliary energy transfer
system (54) based on the potable water temperature.

Abstract: A system and a method of combining logical ring protection and mesh
restoration mechanisms for recovery from link and node failures in optical
networks is provided. Logical rings, or pre-configured protection cycles are
defined over the physical mesh optical network for protection purposes, and
they are operational only in transient time. A Wavelength Routing Protocol
(WRP) and a Wavelength Distribution Protocol (WDP) have been devised to
support network-wide routing and signalling. When a switch detects a link
failure, the traffic being protected is bridged to the logical ring first, then the
switch sends failure notifications to all the other nodes via the WRP. After
receiving notification, all nodes being affected by the failure re-calculate and
re-configure new globally optimized restoration paths via the WDP protocol, to
eventually re-direct the traffic into such a new path. Node failure is addressed
through a diversity path restoration operation. By combing logical ring
protection and mesh path restoration, both fast protection speed and
bandwidth efficiency are achieved.
