Abstract: The present invention is directed at both a method and an apparatus for executing a distributed algorithm or server in a Simple Network Management Protocol Version 1 (SNMPv1) based computer network. The invention involves configuring a peer arrangement of agent/manager nodes and encapsulating the algorithm or server into SNMPv1. In a peer configuration, each node acts as a manager node, the manager node sends a Get message to an agent node to read a certain location in an agent node's managed information base (MIB) and sends a Set message to an agent node to write to a certain location in an agent node's MIB. This peer configuration also provides that each node act as an agent node, the agent node sends a GetResponse message to a manager node in response to a Get message and sends a Trap message to a manager node in response to an event. Encapsulating of the algorithm or server within SNMPv1 involves mapping the proprietary protocol to the SNMPv1 messages and mapping the algorithm or server variables to certain locations in the MIB. When mapping the algorithm or server, algorithm command variables, placeholder variables, and data variables are assigned to certain locations within the MIB.

Abstract: This invention relates to the coating of steel parts with organic polymeric materials for resistance to corrosion, abrasion, impact, salt solutions of high and low pH (both in liquid as well as vapor state) and corrosive atmospheric gases under the environment of high relative humidity and ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. To obtain secure and permanent adhesion of the coating on the steel article a polymeric coating is formulated so as to achieve chemical grafting to the steel face. This involves the use of monomers, prepolymers, catalyst and a graft initiator system. The monomers are preferably polyfunctional and when applied onto a metallic substrate, react via graft polymerization with the metal to form a polymerized layer coated onto the surface of the steel substrate. The monomers and prepolymers are so selected that when polymerized onto steel the coating has substantially zero moisture vapor-gas transmission rate and consequently acts as a barrier to moisture, oxygen and other gases from coming in contact with the surface of the steel substrate thereby improving the protective potential of the coating. Fillers may be included in the coating material to enhance physical or wear characteristics. Other components that can be added are slip agents, wetting agents, thixotropic promoters and adhesion promoters. This coating process is particularly advantageous for use with steel parts used in the manufacture of cranes.
