Abstract: L'invention concerne la compensation de puissance générée par un dispositif (30) de compensation de puissance à un réseau de services porteur d'une tension nominale. Le dispositif de compensation de puissance possède une caractéristique de distribution de courant constante. La compensation de puissance est générée suite à la détection d'un changement d'ampleur prédéterminée de la tension nominale sur le réseau de services et par la commande du dispositif de compensation de puissance pour distribuer, pendant un premier laps de temps et en réponse au changement détecté de la tension nominale, une puissance réactive au réseau de services. La compensation de puissance est commandée pour distribuer, pendant un second laps de temps suivant le premier laps de temps, une puissance réactive au réseau de services à un niveau qui est un facteur N (N>1) supérieur à la caractéristique de distribution de puissance constante du dispositif de compensation de puissance.

Abstract: Apparatus and method providing improved fault tolerance through redundancy of hardware and software suitable for use in a head-end of an interactive information distribution system. Communications between each of a head-end controllers (130) and each of the server modules (106) are coincidentally sent along at least two signal paths (111) to provide to additional fault tolerance in the event one of the signal paths becomes inoperable. In one embodiment, a video switch (113) comprises a plurality of I/O ports (320) coupled between a plurality of server modules (106) and a plurality of subscriber equipment (124) for transferring video information between the server (102) and the subscriber equipment (124). A primary and secondary switch controller (144) are each coupled to the head-end controllers (130) and the plurality of I/O  ports (320). The primary switch controller is used for routing data packets containing said video information between the plurality of I/O ports. The secondary switch controller monitors status of the primary switch controller and I/O ports and initiates a switchover event in an instance where the primary switch controller exhibits a failure.
