Title: Method and apparatus for automatic discovery of network devices with data forwarding capabilities
Inventor: GASPARD MOISE
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for automatic discovery of
network devices with data forwarding capabilities. In one embodiment, the present
invention sends SNMP queries to sets and/or ranges of IP numbers to determine whe ther
a network device exists at each IP number and whether the network device has IP
forwarding capabilities. The set of IP numbers searched may be specified by specifying
ranges or subnets or by providing a list of discrete IP numbers. When a new network
device with IP forwarding capabilities is discovered, that network device (identified by
its IP number and SNMP description field) is added to a list of discovered network
devices. The list is displayed to the network manager, who has the option of selecting
none, one, or more than one of the network devices on the network device list for
management by the network manager's network management system. In one
embodiment, in addition to discovering newly added devices via IP number polling, the
invention also discovers newly added devices from SNMP messages ("traps") broadcast
by a newly added device. In one embodiment, each network device discovered as a result
of a SNMP trap is added to the newly discovered device list, regardless of whether or not
the network device has data forwarding capabilities.

Abstract: The hydraulic clamping system, e.g. to clamp a workpiece at a machine tool, has a piston (4) at the clamping cylinder (5), with a smaller diameter rapid cylinder (16) at the end of the cylinder away from the clamp (6) with its piston (15). The clamping and rapid cylinders are supplied by parallel hydraulic lines (8,9) from the pressure supply (10). A change-over valve (18) in the hydraulic line to the clamping cylinder is opened when the rapid cylinder pressure reaches a given level on bearing against the clamp, to release the hydraulic flow into the clamping cylinder. An extraction valve (13) holds the extraction line (12) open to the pressure medium tank (14) until it closes automatically when the change-over valve opens. The hydraulic pressure pump (10) has small dimensions, to handle the low volume flows.

Abstract: A treater system includes a conductive roller electrode that supports a moving web that is to be treated. One or more active electrode assemblies mounted to support headers have a pair of active electrodes that are positioned to treat one surface of the web as the web passes over the roller electrode. Air or a gas/gas mixture can be selectively piped to a chamber adjacent the active electrodes and diffused along the length of the discharge surfaces to allow the treater to operate in three distinct modes: corona, chemical corona and atmospheric plasma. The active electrodes are cooled by passing air into and through tubular bodies of the active electrodes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a variable mode multi-media data object storage device. Large digital objects can be quickly downloaded in approximately a minute. The digital objects can be utilized or played back at real-time speeds. Utilization or playback consumes minimal power, allowing the disk to support portable devices operating on battery power. The storage device uses multiple disk rotation speeds to support multiple modes of operation. The storage device operates in at least two modes of disk drive operation, supporting a fast platter rotation speed for writing and a slower platter rotation speed for reading. The multiple rotation speeds operate in conjunction with a head assembly configured with at least one head for reading and multiple heads for writing. When writing, the disk spins at the faster rotation speed. When in utilization or playback mode, the disk spins at the slower, power conserving rotation speed.
